If you’ve been following the recent high-school squabble between prominent rightie columnists and podcasters, you know that last Thursday Ben Shapiro delivered a speech at AmFest in which he trashed the extreme conspiracy-minded fringe nutters (Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson) and one of their apologists (Megan Kelly).
Those who’ve been instinctively or habitually trashing Shapiro over the last four or five years need to give him a re-think. Shapiro is now a principled conservative who’s said “no” to the wackazoids. He’s now a man with a formidable backbone.
