Conservative commentator and best-selling author, Dinesh DSouza exits the Manhattan Federal Courthouse in New York, Jan. 24, 2014. Conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh DSouza continues his criticism of President Obama, who before launching the My Brothers Keeper initiative, allegedly failed to help his half-brother who needed money for emergency medical care. Speaking to Mike Huckabee on his Fox News show Saturday night, DSouza recounted a story hes frequently shared since he interviewed George Obama, the presidents half-brother who lives in Kenya, for his film 2016: Obamas America that was released prior to the 2012 presidential election. DSouza commented that after he interviewed George for the film, he received a call from him asking for $1,000 to pay for his illegitimate sons medical care.

George Washington Killed in Battle (Watch TRAILER) Dinesh DSouzas Film Team Says America Documentary on Track Despite Campaign Fraud Charges; Release Trailer (VIDEO) Dinesh DSouza Pleads Not Guilty to Campaign Fraud Charges; Conservatives Call Out Obama Admin for Targeting Critics He asked if I could provide $1,000 to help him, DSouza told Huckabee. And Im like, Youre the presidents half-brother. Isnt there somebody else you can call? And he said, no. I ended up sending $1,000 to George Obama, while President Obama apparently now announces this new initiative called My Brothers Keeper, DSouza said. Well, evidently, he hasnt been much of his brothers keeper. He continued, Ive been pointing this kind of stuff out — and I think its put me out there as an outspoken critic of the president. The My Brothers Keeper initiative that Obama launched at the White House last month aims to close the achievement gap for black and Hispanic youth by ensuring they receive education and job opportunities so that they can reach their full potential in life. In an interview with Breitbart News at the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this month, DSouza talked about the phone call he received from George and called the situation bizarre — that the presidents own brother called someone else for help. Distinguishing his ideology from Obamas, DSouza commented, I am a third world guy who has embraced America, and, as I see it, he (Obama) is an American-born guy who has adopted a third world ideology. Recently charged for allegedly violating campaign finance laws, DSouza, a former Kings College president and policy adviser to the-late President Ronald Reagan, unveiled a trailer for his upcoming film America at CPAC. Set for release on July 4, America takes an imaginary look at how world history would have unfolded had the United States lost the Revolutionary War and so therefore never existed. The America trailer shows a battle scene where Gen. George Washington is hit by a bullet. As Washington dies, U.S. landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore begin to disintegrate. In January, DSouza pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he used straw donors to exceed campaign contributions to then-U.S. Senate candidate and friend Wendy Long in 2012. The charges against him are being seen by conservatives as evidence that the White House is targeting its critics. DSouzas trial is scheduled to begin May 19 in New York. After pleading innocent, DSouza was released on $500,000 bond. The court asked him to surrender his passport and submit to certain travel restrictions. DSouzas attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said DSouza did not act with any corrupt or criminal intent.
