I can’t stand Ben
So what’s the back story?
Shapiro has positioned himself as a real conservative who doesn't support much of what Trump does. Yet if you remember, Shaprio was wildly and blatantly racist during Obama's presidency. Anyway...Fuentes is a pure white (hispanic lol) supremacist and very pro Trump and his movement is garnering a lot of support amongst young conservatives. They've been bombarding republican events and town halls, confronting republicans for basically not being Nazi enough.
I'm not gonna call Shapiro a Nazi for a variety of reasons, including because he's Jewish...but he has a long history of racist and ugly comments. The fact that he's not extreme enough for these Nazis tells you what you need to know. It's a breeding ground for extremism and the pendulum has shifted so far right that even racists start looking like the "good guys" when compared to Fuentes. Nasty stuff.
