Comic and columnist Dean Obeidallah attempted to shame Ben Shapiro by asking him to publicly endorse his speaking at Liberty University, which we assume would be an issue for some reason because Obeidallah is Muslim:
.@benshapiro I 100% support your right to speak at UC Berkley-Will you state publicly your support of me speaking at Liberty Univ? @LibertyU

Chaser…
Shapiro’s response included a handy lesson on the First Amendment:
Sure, if some student group is dumb enough to invite you. But you don't have a right, since Liberty is private. https://t.co/e5zYCChuac

I love the smell of a good Shapiro clapback in the morning. https://t.co/UQqaJPi4VN

And we’ll go out on a limb here and predict if Obeidallah does speak at the university, he’ll be treated with courtesy and respect:
FYI – Liberty INVITED Bernie Sanders to speak to its students. And by all accounts he was respectfully received.
But snark narrative.
