The follow-up to “2016: Obama’s America” will feature several prominent progressives, including Alan Dershowitz and Charles Truxillo, airing controversial opinions.
Dinesh D’Souza will let several prominent liberal thinkers have their say in his follow-up documentary to 2016: Obama’s America. The conservative filmmaker told The Hollywood Reporter that the documentary, America, will feature the commentary of Alan Dershowitz, Noam Chomsky, Bill Ayers, Michael Eric Dyson and Charles Truxillo.
“In 2016, we let President Obama’s voice be heard — literally,” D’Souza tells THR. “With America, we also wanted to hear directly the voices of America’s biggest critics. The conservative answer to offensive speech has always been not to silence it, but to listen carefully, consider what’s been said and offer more speech. I was delighted that some of the smartest progressives in America agreed to sit down with me.”
D’Souza wouldn’t name the prominent liberals who declined his request to appear in the film, nor would he disclose what is said by those who do appear, beyond Truxillo’s comments, seen in a video below.
The filmmaker is under indictment for violating campaign finance laws for allegedly using straw donors in order to give more money to a U.S. Senate campaign than legally allowed. His trial begins May 19, but he says his legal problems will not delay the release of America.
