Ben makes a fool of himself, once again.

Ben Shapiro is the famous, fast-talking pundit who regularly ‘owns’ aggressive campus students with his quick wit and rapid repartee.

Alas, Shapiro isn’t so ‘crazy smart’ when he comes up against difficult questions from a real interviewer. Yesterday he just couldn’t cope with an interrogation from the BBC’s Andrew Neil. He decided that Neil must be a typical BBC leftist and had an epic tantrum.

Ben, leave the meltdowns to the Leftists please.  Jeez.  There are plenty of idiots in the right wing media.

I admire a guy who tells a biased interviewer to shove it.

Why couldn't Ben just counter his points with a reasonable argument?

Remember, it was Shapiro that condemned Rep King when he got ambushed by the NYT.

I've never been impressed with Shapiro and more and more his true colors are coming out.

I agree. I have no problem with Shapiro or with this. The interviewer was not looking for answers or understanding of his opinions, he was looking for a gotcha question that would cause Shapiro to wilt.

How do you deal with media whose predicate is that abortion laws are barbaric?  Do you play footsie, or do you stand up for your pro-life views?

How do you feel with media who calls YOU part of the problem with the coarsening of political discourse, when you’re one of the VERY FEW trying to have dialogue and change opinions on college campuses?
