As Twitchy told you, earlier this week, blue-checked “free speech activist” Nathan Bernard claimed to have information proving that tweeter @neontaster is, in fact, Ben Shapiro’s dad:
Hearing from several trustworthy sources that the @neontaster account is run by @benshapiro's dad. Evidence I'm looking at is very convincing. More soon. pic.twitter.com/O71yf67il8

He got smacked around pretty good over that, but for what it’s worth, Shapiro himself just rolled with it:
Happy #IndependenceDay to my dad, @neontaster pic.twitter.com/jkuLUMCYNs

And then, this happened.
Sooo Glenn Beck joined the "neontaster is Ben Shapiro's dad" movement lol

No, really:
@benshapiro has one of the best fathers I have ever met.
He is a kind and generous man. How different our world would be if we all had fathers like @neontaster. Don’t let this postmodernist BS fool you. Real men become great fathers to young men that change the world. https://t.co/nZ1DrdnVpU— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) July 5, 2018
Was Glenn Beck tweeting in earnest? Or just engaging in some first-class trolling?

Do you realize that Neon isn't actually Ben's father? This is a joke between them.

Not sure if this is A+ trolling from @glennbeck or if he completely missed the joke… ? https://t.co/YQn4t8j3PB
