Here is my Shapiro experience:
About 5 years ago Andrew Breitbart and I began conversations about my speaking to the secret Hollywood group Friends of Abe. Andrew hired a dinner for me and several members at a nice steak place. Nick Searcy, Adam Baldwin, Ann and Colin, the producers of “Fracknation” and Shapiro were all there (plus others who haven’t come out yet). Even then, as one person at the dinner told me, Benji was a “social justice warrior.”
Fast forward to TrumpTime: I was told by people who know at Breitbart that Benji is strongly money driven, do I suspect a heavy dose of posturing for pay is involved. But his crap got him canned as a speaker from a big college conservative group. He is married so I think the Fields stuff had less to do with romance and more to do with finance and the job opportunities that he thought would come with being anti-Trump.
I’m not surprised
I was just joking about Fields though I do find her fetching in a buxom full lips ripe sort of way but she’s obviously of low character
I bought Shapiros book on Hollywood some years back which focused on TV in the era back when movies and tv had less crossover as you too likely recall
I thought it was a great book
So I started following and he started reminding me of a younger faster talking Jonah Goldberg sorta outlook on culture and as I alluded to earlier Pelham who got Shapiros radio show sent me some of his stuff which I sure didn’t like
What motivates Ben aside from $$$ is I’m guessing he finds Trumps immigration and Islam stands racist
I say that knowing you and I recall when actual racism was clearly defined in the 50s and 60s
Now it’s a smear and PC little turds like Shapiro and his road dog Weinstein use for political points
It’s not because Trump ain’t conservative enough
Is it that truly for anyone at this point?
50 years ago these Neo Neos like Ben or Pavich would have been moderate pro INDOCHINA war Dems as likely as Dirksen GOP
There sure would not have been Goldwater or Magnus or Buck

Very interesting. Voxday who worked with Benji for a while said that he’s pretty much money driven as well.
Most of the NeverTrumpers have liberal instincts and reflexes when it comes to the national question, i.e. anything to do with immigration, culture, and race relations. In that sense they're all Social Justice Warriors.
That's why they're so polite and milquetoast when criticizing Obama or Hillary (with whom they might disagree with on particulars while sharing the big picture) and so rabid when attacking Trump supporters.
