          Shapiro called for King to be censured on his show and donated to King’s primary opponent, but I’m sure an old picture completely invalidates that...oh wait, no it doesn’t.

          The issue is he agreed with King's ideology until King explicity stated what's wrong with white nationalism. Before King even said that many people knew he was racist due to his previous racist statements. The problem is right and the alt right have lots in common.

          If you want to go down this route, we should be specific. With which part of King’s ideology did Shapiro agree? How do you know this? What problematic statements of King’s did Shapiro supposedly support? Can you define the beliefs of the alt-right and the right?

          Ben Shapiro actually has an article defending a racist claim made by Steve King which he later updated after Steve King explicity used the terms white nationalism.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailywire.com/news/14354/media-accuse-rep-steve-king-r-ia-racism-theyre-ben-shapiro%3famp …

          So, Shapiro acted when he had sufficient evidence. That works for me. Though it shows that Shapiro disagrees with King’s ideology and doesn’t support his statements. It also doesn’t support the notion that conservatives and the alt-right are similar.

          As others have said, this was prior to King's most egregious comments, before Shapiro believed him to have white nationalist / racist leanings, as he does now. He has since disavowed him and donated money to people running against him. To post this photo as a gotcha is quite sad

          Your question has been rejected and ignored for being overly valid and too earnest of an attempt at information gathering; thereby undermining the original attempt at a “dunking” by and for the entertainment of dumbasses. Get that logical shit outta here
