A MAGA REP- Is Facing Major Backlash After Literally Cropping His Indian-American Wife Out Of A Campaign Ad

Quite the family portrait

Brandon Gill’s political career exists largely because of his father-in-law’s media empire and his wife’s family connections. This week’s fundraising ad, built around protecting American values, somehow left his wife out of the picture entirely.

The 32-year-old Texas Republican, who represents the district anchored in Denton County north of Dallas, posted a fundraising ad this week responding to accusations of racism. “You can call me by any name you want. I just want my children to grow up in a country that they recognize,” the post read, closing with: “Every parent & grandparent needs to read this.”

Whoever assembled the accompanying image left out Danielle D’Souza Gill, his wife of nearly a decade.

Danielle is not a background figure in Gill’s political life.

She is the daughter of Dinesh D’Souza, the conservative commentator whose media connections helped launch Gill’s career in the first place. The two co-founded the hyperpartisan outlet DC Enquirer together in 2022, and she has campaigned for him repeatedly, describing herself as a proud American-born “MAGA Christian patriot.”

Cutting her out of a post specifically about protecting a country “children recognize” struck a lot of people as an odd editorial choice, given whose daughter she is.


Just days earlier, Gill had posted a separate message insisting accusations against him don’t land. “The left has one debate tactic: call you a racist and pray you shut up. I never will,” he wrote over a moody self-portrait, adding that “calling us racist doesn’t work anymore.”

Minnesota Congressman Shri Thanedar, who is also of Indian descent, answered without hesitation: “No one is calling you racist as an attempt to scare you into shutting up. We call you racist because you refer to Indian Americans as ‘7-Eleven workers.'”

He went further: “The fact that you married an Indian American shows that you’re just a grifter pandering to a racist base. How pathetic it must be to be that cheap.”

The record backs him up. Gill told Benny Johnson’s podcast that East Africans living in the US amount to a “net drain” on the economy, agreeing on air that “not all cultures are equal” after Johnson claimed Somalis are innately less intelligent.

He also pushed a petition to deport Rep. Ilhan Omar, a US citizen of 26 years, arguing the country “would be a much better place if she were sent back to Somalia.”
