CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee has decided that Dinesh D’Souza is no longer welcome to speak at their upcoming meeting after making comments they are calling “indefensible” about the teen victims of the Parkland shooting. When asked why someone who mocked the child victims of a school shooting was still speaking at CPAC, a representative set the record straight on Twitter.
Some of the students who survived the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School went to the legislature to share their horrific experience at the hands of school shooter Nikolas Cruz in the hope of banning assault weapons. Many were dismayed that their personal testimony seemed to fall on deaf ears, says Slate. But their grief and disappointment were further compounded by the chiding they received on Twitter courtesy of pundit Dinesh D’Souza, who seemed to be enjoying the sorrow of the Parkland, Florida teens, many of whom were photographed crying after the vote.
D’Souza suggested that children had no business speaking out on political matters.

Dinesh D’Souza continued by suggesting that the adults who decided not to ban assault weapons had won.
Even people who traditionally agree with D’Souza were shocked.
