D'Souza: "Sending in force to protect basic constitutional rights is actually appropriate”

From the March 7 edition of Fox News' The Ingraham Angle:

{snip the video}

DINESH D'SOUZA: I think that Trump is -- Trump's step is an important first step, but it's only the beginning.

I mean, as this stuff escalates, when you have antifa violence in places like Berkeley -- let's remember, Berkeley is a state university. It's fully accountable to the First Amendment, and the First Amendment is not less valuable than, say, the 14th Amendment, which protects civil rights.

So, if I were Trump, I would consider, in extreme circumstances, sending in the National Guard, because sending in force to protect basic constitutional rights is actually an appropriate use of force.

but later pardoned by Spanky because apparently Spanky doesn't consider campaign finance violations to be a crime. I wonder why?

Don't give him any ideas! We have this thing called "free speech" and conservative white nationalists should know that it applies to us as much as it applies to them.
