I never before heard of this fellow.
You ain’t?
I admit that I only "stumbled" across him a few years ago, in random YouTube clips.
But whereas I sincerely admired and respected Carl Sagan (deGrasse's putative forerunner) - whose politics, I confess, are entirely unknown to me - deGrasse seems like a fake and/or a blowhard.

Oh, You mean Moo Yiannopoulos? Changed his name from Baa.
It is impossible to watch a TV science show without seeing either Tyson, Bill Nye or Michio Kaku (wannabe Einstein hairdo with a comb briefly run through it).

Sagan was the Joel Osteen of Science.
Richard Attenborough is the Chronkite/Rather/Brokow of nature films.
Bah, humbug!

I'm not familiar with any scientific work he's ever performed. Before celebrity he ran a planetarium somewhere. Nowadays he's mostly a Twitter personality.
His argument was that Pluto, being ice, would not survive in Earth's obit.
Fine. Yes, the Sun's really hot, but he's with the "civilization causes AGW" crowd.
He must have taken political science Relativity, rather than the physics one, while at Columbia.
You haven’t missed much. He’s a propagandist for the cult of “science” and a public scoffer who smugly mocks Christians and Christianity.
