Is the term never Trumper used to discredit or besmearch him? Who cares what the hell he was. He stated he voted neither for Trump or Hillary and laid out his case. I don’t agree with his view but that doesn’t make him anti anything. I think there’s this reflexive impulse to spew anti Trump anytime one hears an opposing viewpoint to immediately discredit what is said.
Ben Shapiro’s Never-Trumpism is not open to debate. He declared himself Never-Trump in absolute terms. He said he’d prefer a Hillary presidency as a way of sending the GOP a message.
Don’t take my word for any of this. Follow the link, and read it for yourself.
Ben was incredibly anti-trump and one of the first.
Then he provided cover for that Michelle Fields who said Corey Lewindowski pulled her down. I listened as he provided chapter and verse how he had talked to his friend and she would lie - he went so far to resign from Brietbart - thank god.
How he treated people, how he started to get mocked by callers telling him we didn't want him voting for Trump. He became a ranting, rage filled Harvard trained lawyer on the show as candidate Trump just kept winning.
I listened the day Trump announced and Shapiro was laughing and making all sorts of jokes saying there was zero chance Trump would win. As time went on he went nuts like Medved, Beck and Levin he just had a bit of a head start.
Toward the election I had completely stopped listening then when I did next he was gone from the show. He was totally a never Trumper and a big jerk and a sanctimonious oxygen hog.
Just like Hewitt Medved Levin - Shapiro can talk rings around most anyone and sound like the smartest guy in the room unfortunately he didn't have a clue about the country, Trump or his audience he was a total fool, mean one. He showed his true colors - that of a self promoting holier than thou spoiled brat.
Ben Shapiro epitomized what it was to be a NeverTrumper.
