Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, who directed the 2016 anti-Hillary Clinton documentary Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, has come under fire on social media following a statement he tweeted Saturday afternoon calling civil rights icon Rosa Parks contributions to the movement "absurdly inflated."

*******LATER history, beyond BROCK:
* D'SOUZA is responsible for Bill MAHER's network show, Politically Incorrect, getting cancelled. The conflation had it thatMAHER said that the 9-11 hijackers showed physical courage. A couple of years ago, MAHER hosted d'SOUZA and incredibly groveled to him, begging him to acknowledge that it was D'SOUZA guesting on Politically Incorrect who said the hijacker/courage thing and MAHER had only echoed the remark. MAHER was groveling, begging for an apology, as I've never seen him do, and d'SOUZA sat there impassively - with the gall of now being a convicted felon and an exposed hypocritic adulterer - and said nothing. I couldn't believe MAHER in front of this dipshit.
