description: "David Christopher Cole, also known as David Stein, is an American journalist and film director. In the early 1990s, he gained publicity as a Holocaust denier. By the mid 90s, Cole split with prominent deniers after concluding that documentary evidence supported that millions of Jews had been murdered. Much of the controversy Cole attracted resulted from the fact that he is Jewish. After changing his name to David Stein following death threats, he became known for his activism on behalf of the Republican Party. He is the author of the 2014 book Republican Party Animal."
