Ben Shapiro is right to defend conservatism

Ben Shapiro has earned some fierce pushback over his recent remarks at the Heritage Foundation and Turning Point USA’s AmFest. But in criticizing those who indulge conspiracies, lies, and authoritarian apologetics, Shapiro simply told some hard truths.

Shapiro attacked Tucker Carlson for platforming and failing to challenge neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. He rebuked Candace Owens for spreading conspiracy theories, took on Steve Bannon, calling him a PR flack of Jeffrey Epstein, and other conservatives, such as Megyn Kelly, for failing to clearly denounce those who flirt with warped narratives.
