MAGA Christian Zealot Dinesh D’Souza Caught Lying: Says His Ancestors May’ve Been “Low-Caste Hindu” Who Were Horribly Treated, Had Accepted He Was From A Brahmin Family In His Own Book

A political firestorm over religion, sparked by Vice President JD Vance’s comments about his Hindu wife, has escalated after MAGA commentator and activist, Trump ally Dinesh D’Souza was caught in a stark contradiction about his own family’s history while leaping to Vance’s defense.

The controversy began when Vance, a baptized Catholic, stated in an interview that he hoped his wife, Usha Vance, who comes from a devout Hindu family, would one day convert to Christianity. The remark was widely criticized as dismissive of her faith.

In an attempt to shield the Vice President from the backlash, D’Souza, a prominent MAGA commentator of Indian origin, entered the fray. He argued that it is natural for a Christian to want their spouse to share their faith, calling it an “expression of love.”

However, his defence took a controversial turn when he invoked India’s caste system. In a social media post, D’Souza wrote, “Maybe my ancestors were low-caste Hindus who were being horribly treated and found it less oppressive to become Christians. Your ancestors, perhaps, were the ones oppressing them.”

This claim was immediately challenged by social media users and critics who pointed to D’Souza’s own prior writings. In his 2007 memoir, What’s So Great About Christianity, he presented a different narrative, explicitly writing that his grandfather had told him their ancestors were Brahmins—a priestly caste at the top of the traditional hierarchy.

Netizens brutally roasted D’Souza for lying on the face.

Faced with the direct contradiction, D’Souza performed a public about-face, dismissing his own previously published account as a fabrication saying, “This is what my grandfather said at one time but my siblings and I took it to be a worthless boast. In reality, we concluded, he had no idea.”

The flip-flop has drawn sharp criticism, with observers accusing D’Souza of fabricating a narrative of ancestral oppression to score political points in the Vance debate.
