Full title: Corey Lewandowski Slams ‘Hypocrite’ Ben Shapiro For Defending Jim Acosta but Who Famously Took the Side of Hoaxer Michelle Fields
During the 2016 election, Ben Shapiro sided with Michelle Fields in her bogus accusations that Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski abused her at a campaign event.
Yesterday Shapiro sided with abuser Jim Acosta from CNN. What is wrong with Ben’s abuse barometer?
Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields made headlines in 2016 when she claimed Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed her and threw her down on the ground at a Jupiter, Florida Trump campaign victory speech.
Video proved that Fields exaggerated the story for some strange reason.

He is a Trump hater who attacked President Trump with lie after lie.
He pretends to be a conservative. He is not.
No one should trust this lying phony.
No defense for Jim when his chop turns her entire body;

I can't stand his rapid-fire motor mouth, anyhow. He comes on, my mute goes on while I put the dinner dishes away in another room.

I hope that more Freepers understand that Shapiro is controlled opposition and stop posting his crap here?
Shapiro is an open-borders tard.
True dat.
“Ben Shapiro is a slimy little punk and a fake conservative.”
Can’t stand the little weasel.
Here is Ben Shapiro on Mitt Romney in 2012:
Why Mitt Romney Will Win
excerpts from the article:
“Mitt Romney continues to press home his case on Barack Obama’s failed economic plans. He continues to make his case for a larger vision of American power in the world, especially by boosting our economic competitiveness.
Obama has no themes because he has no record and no second-term agenda. Romney has themes: economic growth through tax cuts and less burdensome regulation, a foreign policy based on a stronger military. Because he has themes, he seems steady.
And that’s why he will win. None of this is going to change in the next two weeks. Obama’s record will not suddenly allow him to become an ardent advocate of his own job performance. And he won’t come up with any bold new plans — he has nothing left in the tank. The ball is in Mitt Romney’s court. And the American people know it.”
After Romney lost the two faced punk Shapiro did a complete 180 and criticized him.
Here is Ben Shapiro on then Presidential candidate Trump in 2016:
I will never vote for Donald Trump.
Ever.
I will never vote for Donald Trump because I stand with certain principles. I stand with small government and free markets and religious freedom and personal responsibility. Donald Trump stands against all of these things. He stands for Planned Parenthood and trade restrictions and targeting of political enemies and an anti-morality foreign policy and government domination of religion and nastiness toward women and tacit appeals to racism and unbounded personal power. I stand with the Constitution of the United States, and its embedded protection of my God-given rights through governmental checks and balances. Donald Trump does not. I stand with conservatism. Donald Trump stands against it.
I stand with #NeverTrump.
The counterargument to the #NeverTrump movement comes down to two words: Hillary Clinton. Trump will supposedly close the borders (a lie); Hillary will not. Trump will appoint conservative Supreme Court justices (unlikely); Hillary will not. No matter how bad Trump is, the argument goes, conservatives have a duty to back the anti-Hillary.
I think Trump will get blown out in a general election. But let’s assume that these critics of #NeverTrump are right. Let’s assume that but for we #NeverTrump voters sitting out the election, Trump would become president, and Hillary would go down in flaming defeat. And let’s assume that Hillary Clinton will appoint terrible justices, destroy the military, and usher in the apocalypse. Why in the world would conservatives live with President Hillary Clinton on their consciences?
Because first, it’s not on our consciences. It’s on the consciences of the people who went along with this nomination. We did not select Trump. We will not vote for him.
And if we are going to save the country, it will not rest on one or two justices on the Supreme Court. It will rest on the will of the people to resist tyranny. That will start at the state and local level. It will start with the people.
It will start with conservatives willing to say “no.”
Because if we never say “no,” we will never have the opportunity to say “yes.”
We must have a conservative party. The Republican Party is not that party, and has not been for a very long time. The Obama administration has brought about a unique moment – a transformational choice for the Party. Will they abandon all conservative principle in pursuit of victory, or will they turn back to the conservatism they supposedly espouse? This entire election cycle, the answer has been the former.
In fact, for virtually my entire life, the answer has been the former. Establishment Republicans abandoned Reaganism for Bushism, and then abandoned Bushism for McCainism, and then abandoned McCainism for Romneyism. Until the last five minutes, they were ready to embrace Trump himself rather getting behind Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Now they call for conservatives to swallow hard and unify behind a man who opposes all conservative principles – to save conservatism!
In every election cycle, the establishment insists that we unify behind a candidate who does not reflect conservatism because elections are always a choice between the two worst options. They blackmail conservatives into supporting candidates who undermine the message and morality of our mission. Now Trump does the same. The establishment created the Donald Trump phenomenon with their “best of two bad options” logic, and now Trump is using that logic to destroy conservatism openly. The establishment doesn’t object to Trumpism. They only object to Trump. Strip the drunken boor antics from Trump, and you’ve got John McCain who will lie transparently to pander to the populist wing.
We don’t have to be complicit. As Ben Domenech is fond of citing, Alexander Hamilton once wrote, “If we must have an enemy at the head of government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible.” Let us not be our own enemies.
Now is the time to say no.
“No” is a useful tool. If conservatives don’t say “no” to Nelson Rockefeller in 1964, there is no Ronald Reagan. If conservatives don’t say “no” to Gerald Ford in 1976 and George H.W. Bush in 1980, there is no Ronald Reagan. And if we don’t say “no” to Donald Trump now, we will continue drifting ever further left, diluting conservatism into the vacillating, demagogic absurdity of Trumpism. Conservatism will become the crypto-racist, pseudo-strong, quasi-tyrannical, toxic brew leftists have always accused it of being.
And we will have been complicit in that.
I will not be complicit in that. I stand against the establishment that sowed the seeds of Trumpism. I stand against the Republican Party that insists that victory matters more than principle, because victory without principle isn’t just meaningless, it’s counterproductive to my belief system.
He reminds me of Camera Hogg.
A lot of Freepers here like this little midget.
It says a lot about those here who like this midget.
We must have justice.
Wonder what kind of underage skeletons are hiding in Acosta's closet?....Just a thought and one example. Instead we are fighting his fight on his terms and his timeline.
JUSTICE!
I also thought Ben is a conservative in the same kind of way as Stephen Colbert. You see this act/ploy/stunt all over Twitter, and both sides are doing it.
You said it ALL and it is all correct.
Thanks for that link!
Agree
HAHAHAH
I have specified for some time on FR that there is one Ben Shapiro I admire, and one I cannot listen to.
The Ben Shapiro that goes onstage in college campuses and debates live, toe to toe with Leftists is enjoyable to watch, he pretty much shreds them.
The one we see on television and listen to in podcasts where he tries to be middle of the road because he thinks that is somehow more noble, is un-listenable to me.
However, it is his increasing propensity to be the “middle of the road” Ben Shapiro that has led me to stop even trying to listen to him.
Why does the article not bother to quote whatever Shapiro is supposed to have said?
I’ve been suspicious of Shapiro for some time now. He has an incredible “I’m smarter than EVERYONE ELSE and KNOW IT” attitude.
And to prove it, he talks faster than just about everyone else in the world.
Annoying on BOTH counts!
Ben Shapiro has slowly but surely established himself as a little creep. everything about him is creepy, including his cute little-boy looks> and I do believe he’s got his own show now? In any event, I can’t help but notice how much he’s been playing up the “I earned my bones by causing a ruckus when they invited me to speak”-—he’s a big Zero.
I dont know why some conservatives are enamored with BS. He brings no unique insight or point of view to his appearances. His pontifications all sound regurgitated and obligatory.
IMHO.
