    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The barrage of hate she received from a segment of fellow Trump supporters may have been especially galling to Dhillon, whose earliest public prominence was as a civil rights lawyer defending turban-wearing Sikh men from post-9/11 racial profiling.

    In a decade, Dhillon has gone from a serial Bay Area political candidate to a well-remunerated member of Trump’s stable of top lawyers, an integral part of the post-Maga Republican party’s power structure, and a star of conservative media.

    Witzke is a far-right political activist and one-time Republican Senate candidate who has promoted anti-LGBTQ+ positions, the “QAnon” conspiracy theory, and various antisemitic tropes, including that Jews control government, academia and the media, and that they have a divided loyalty between America and Israel.

    The lawyer and Blaze Media host Daniel Horowitz, notable for his fixation on immigration at the southern border, called Monday a “night of endless racial and ethnic pandering, union communism not just populism, and a porn star.

    About the time of Carlson’s exit, Dhillon went from being his regular guest to a go-to lawyer, reportedly acting for him in the discrimination case that led up to his ouster, in a 2023 dispute with Fox itself , and against a Pac proposing to draft the former host for the 2024 presidential election.

    Meanwhile, while the Monday night event tried to represent Trump supporters as more diverse than the largely white bloc who have hitherto voted for the president, the response to Dhillon’s prayer suggests that a swath of rightwing opinion will volubly resist that becoming a reality.
