Where does he say he’s engaged? In one thread (or report on a thread), he said specifically that he was not having an affair, and he was not engaged to this lady! This is in a recent article from Oct. 17th! He said that some writer gave that impression, and it was false! He said that the writer said that he introduced her as his fiance, and she wasn’t? I’m honestly confused! Unless he suddenly turned around and admitted it today?
I trust World Magazine's staff. If they screwed up, they'll investigate and apologize, with the reporter being disciplined.
Precisely because of that, I think it's clear **SOMETHING** happened, and whatever happened was very unwise for someone who has put himself into the limelight like Dinesh D’Souza.
Right now my guess is we're dealing with a window into a very troubled marriage. Maybe Dinesh D’Souza will wake up and fix the mess before it's too late. If he doesn't, he's going to be permanently damaged in conservative Christian circles, and seriously damaged in the broader conservative movement.
Unfortunately for him, his private problems have now gone very public and that makes them much harder to solve.
The least that can be said is it looks like he said and did some very unwise things.
People at that level of politics can be expected to know better. When they don't, it's a likely indicator of much more serious issues.
We don't need Bill Clinton issues in the GOP.
This article by Christianity Today largely confirms the original World Magazine report but also includes some troubling comments about the future direction of the college.
This is not good. It looks as if D’Souza will not be the only casualty of this situation — the college itself may end up losing its Christian activist mission.
We'll all know more soon.
