Mitchell Epner replied: "The only positive thing I can say about Harmeet Dhillon (just named by President-Elect Trump to be AAG for Civil Rights) is that she is not Dinesh D’Felon or Laura Ingraham. Rather, she is the person who saw them blaze a trail for evil & repression at the Dartmouth Review and followed their lead."
David S. Bernstein wrote: "Trump names Harmeet Dhillon AAG for Civil Rights. Another FNC contributor for those keeping lists. Best known for failed attempt to become RNC chair. Not trusted by some on the right.
Historian Aparna Nair commented: "Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard and Harmeet Dhillon will not be the only desis working for Trump, there will be more, and I only wish there was be a reckoning in our communities with our proximity to and yearnings for fascism, Modi included."
