Zionist Ben Shapiro may now regret supporting antisemites

Ben Shapiro is sleeping with one eye open. Politico recently reported that members of a ‘Young Republicans’ group chat were caught making comments like “I love Hitler.” In response, many figures on the right came out to defend these alleged ‘youngsters’ (youngsters who range in age from 18 to 40, by the way).

One commentator who isn’t defending the comments is Ben Shapiro:

🚨NO WAY, HELL JUST FROZE OVER: Ben Shapiro just told Matt Walsh and everyone else on the Right, you won’t survive if you refuse to police your own extremists.

He’s pointing to the Young Republicans’ leaked chats (hit by Politico), Hitler jokes, gas‑chamber talk, and slurs.… pic.twitter.com/SZrqOkMXkz

As Shapiro is a Jewish man, you can understand why he’d be reluctant to condone this behaviour. There’s a wrinkle in all this, however, which is that Shapiro has previously been happy to turn a blind eye so long as his bedfellows support Israel:

.@anncoulter tweets re: Jews awful, nonsensical. @anncoulter is also super pro-Israel, and has always been so, so I won’t lose sleep.

Who could have predicted the racists would only become more racist if left unchallenged?

Ben Shapiro receiving death threats

In the video above, Shapiro said that while he suspected Politico had ulterior motives, the reporting:

has led to, I think, a reactionary response on some parts of the right to say there should be no policing ever at all.

No social consequences should ever attend to things that are said on the right. That it’s basically just pure my side versus your side. The problem I have is number one, I think that’s immoral. And number two, I don’t think that’s pragmatic. I don’t think that’s moral because I think that there are things that get said on the right that are really, really, really ugly and pretending those away doesn’t make them go away.

I think that they’re rising. I think that they’re getting more common. I know that my death threats from that side are getting more common. I know I have more security because of that. And it’s not just from the left. I have lots of security from the left. And I also get lots of security from the right.

Matt, I think a little bit earlier today, you tweeted that kind of your litmus test is the people who are trying to kill you. And I totally get that. I also have that litmus test. The difference is that I think that if somebody tries to kill Matt, there’s a good shot that it’s going to be a leftist. If somebody tries to kill me, it’s a Frickin’ Agatha Christie novel.

I just don’t know which direction the bullet is coming from at this point.

For context, Ben Shapiro is speaking to employees of his, including Matt Walsh, who has been offering an increasingly unhinged defence of the leaked group chats:

Some of you people are talking about a group chat while the other side has killed enough babies to fill a thousand football stadiums. Give me a break. You should be embarrassed.

Turning tide

So, what’s changed between Shapiro’s Ann Coulter tweet and today?

It’s not just the number of death threats; it’s the fact that his peers on the American right are increasingly anti-Israel:

Tucker Carlson blasted US leaders for letting Israel dictate American policy, saying Netanyahu brags about controlling Trump and the US, and called it humiliating that Americans are being forced into harmful decisions for another country.

Zionist Shapiro could turn a blind eye when people hated him as a person but respected his ideology; now he’s sleeping with one eye open.

While there’s obviously some degree of schadenfreude in all this, it’s clearly not good that there’s a growing wing of American antisemites who are prepping to fill the post-Trump vacuum.
