As Twitchy told you, actor Kumail Nanjiani took issue with Ben Shapiro failing to prevent his followers from being jerks.

But Bethany Mandel wasn’t really buying Nanjiani’s virtue signaling act:

Here’s what she’s referring to:

Doing her a favor? Really? By posting a context-free screenshot for all your followers to gawk at? Please.

It implies she’s a Nazi sympathizer, at the very least.

Yes, it does, using his logic.

Hate it when that happens.
"Hear me out on this" sounds like ownership. No?

She was refering to the article not the headline. Kumail refused to link to the article, all he wanted was to throw his crowd at her and her familly. It was a good and fair article.

Would you agree it is a wild stretch from "did not link my article" to "insinuated I was a Nazi"? Like A does not equal B my guy.

Her tweet literally says, "hear me out." And he did not "hear her out." He assumed that he knew what she meant and now she gets death threats from his followers who think she's a nazi when she's an orthodox jew who is trying to convince nazi's to change.

You said “hear me out, we should be friend Nazis” and @kumailn said “huh that’s a weird request” and most people agreed with him. And then we all forgot about it till now when you brought it up again?

See how messed up that is, Kumail?
No your headline is…
He said he'd "give it a try."
He didn't say "75% of people with the last name Mandel are nazi-sympathizers!"
You made an egregious error in creating a poor click-bait style headline that backfired tremendously.
It's on you.— Paul Gasari (@WheresMyArk_23) April 19, 2018
Still, his logic is if you get death threats, then the tweeter is responsible.
By that logic…he was responsible for the death threats and hate @bethanyshondark got.
You can't have it both ways.

For what it’s worth, Nanjiani apologized to Mandel for the shady way he put her work out there:

Mandel graciously took him at his word, but she made it clear that her position on responsibility for others’ actions hasn’t changed:
