Ben Shapiro took the stage at CPAC today, where he proceeded to bring the house down. That left the Toronto Star’s Washington correspondent Daniel Dale feeling somewhat befuddled — and triggered:
Shapiro begins by praising Trump's accomplishments, including not letting Clinton be president.
Two separate "lock her up" chants begin, then converge into a room-wide chant.

After hailing Trump, Shapiro says Americans are sick of "postmodern garbage" in which people believe they have their own truth. The "left," he says, has "worked for decades" to destroy faith in truth.

Shapiro is speaking really fast and talking about Mao and okay now he's complaining about how Obama let minorities just claim they were victims of white privilege with no evidence
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 22, 2018
Shapiro says the media believes a man is a woman just because he declares he's a woman.
"Hint: he is not. He is a dude."
Applause.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 22, 2018
Shapiro says unspsecified people in the media are "vile human beings" for allegedly saying conservatives don't care about murdered children because they oppose gun control. For this stuff, he is getting bigger applause than Mike Pence.

Shapiro: "You don't get to tell little boys that they can become little girls." He just loathes trans people.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 22, 2018
He does?

It doesn’t sound accurate to Shapiro, either:
Lol no

Dale continued:
Shapiro offers the day's very first criticism of Trump, saying it is "nonsense" that there were good people marching in Charlottesville. He gets applause for this too.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 22, 2018
Shapiro says "we don't have to worry about charges about bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia," because "facts" are not racist and such.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 22, 2018
Ben Shapiro's core message is so confusing: 1) Trump is awesome; 2) The way to win is to always stand on the side of truth.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 22, 2018
Huh?
Not so sure Ben’s core message is “Trump is awesome” https://t.co/2qWoQbI98z

It’s like he has a hearing problem.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 22, 2018
And a journalism problem.
Shapiro has been a reliable critic of Donald Trump since before the election. The fact that he’s not incapable of acknowledging when Trump does something right isn’t a sign of inconsistency; it’s a sign of intellectual honesty.

It's the mentality of the media throughout the Obama years. Why they need to latch onto "hahaha tan suit was Obama's only scandal"

Next up?
Maybe Daniel will block him and then pretend that Ben won't respond to his allegations. He does that.
