By "multiple examples," D'Souza means ... two.
And for his "examples" he names historians who actually have addressed Democrats' past support for slavery, segregation, racial terrorism and lynching -- Eric Foner and Robert Dallek.
Let's take a look!

Here's the podcast, and you should listen, if only to see D'Souza claim that he's not going to engage in credentialism before mocking me for attending a state school for my undergrad and a lesser Ivy for my PhD (around 49:00)

Now, if you missed it, here are some of the examples I and others provided of "progressive textbooks" that note the simple fact that Democrats were the party of slavery and segregation.

In response to that list, D'Souza has provided two names ... one of whom is on that list:
Eric Foner, the historian who said the Klan was "a military arm of the Democratic Party."
Eric Foner, the historian who said the Klan was "a military arm of the Democratic Party."
The other is Robert Dallek, whose biography of FDR -- according to D'Souza -- hides FDR's refusal to push for anti-lynching laws and Southern Dems' racism.
These are a few passages from it. The first two on FDR's cowardice on lynching; the third is about Sen. E.D. Smith (D-SC).

So ... that's the big response.
Two historians who actually do the very thing he insists none of us do.
Once again, the patented D'Souza combination of ignorance and arrogance comes through. It never fails, though he always does.
