    I don’t know, but he and his wife are Jewish, so probably not really his shtick? I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m wrong, though.

      Are they? A little odd for a neo-Nazi… but then again, there were collaborators back in the day, too.

          Which, coincidentally, also applies to Black Conservative woman Candace Owens.

        Could you explain this to me? Not trying to defend Shapiro or anything, and not saying a person of Jewish descent can’t be a Neo-Nazi, but from what I know of Shapiro he seems pretty devoutly Jewish, so I don’t really get labelling him as a Neo-Nazi.

          He also seems pretty devoutly committed to the same causes the neo Nazis running the Republican party are.

          In the lead up to end during World War II, many prominent Jews collaborated with the Nazis, believing it would carry them favor and save them. It did not, and they ended up in the concentration camps along with the rest of the Jews. The few that actually survived persecution after the war were reviled and were put to trial, and eventually death for their betrayal.

          Shapiro is exactly this type of Craven, traiterous, backstabbing piece of shit. And I would expect nothing less from him.

        Ben Shapiro a Neo Nazi? He is a prominent Jewish Man and defender of Israel on all accounts. He is extremely conservative but that doesn’t make one a Nazi.
