When you hear the name “Ben Shapiro,” what words come to mind? A lot, probably. Which is fitting, considering how many words Ben Shapiro is able to get out between breaths. Seriously, the guy can talk fast.

But back to our question: what do you think of when you think of Ben Shapiro? Chances are pretty good that “harm” is not anywhere on the list.

But apparently it’s at or near the very top of @PodcastMovement’s list. According to their Twitter bio, Podcast Movement is “the world’s largest community of podcasters,” and they’re currently doing a big event in Dallas. An event that Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro showed up at — which prompted an apology from Podcast Movement:

Podcast Movement at #PM22

@PodcastMovement

Hi folks, we owe you an apology before sessions kick off for the day. Yesterday afternoon, Ben Shapiro briefly visited the PM22 expo area near The Daily Wire booth. Though he was not registered or expected, we take full responsibility for the harm done by his presence.

We’re not used to snowflakes taking responsibility for anything, so kudos to them for this, we guess.

Censorship is a far greater threat to “democracy” than anybody’s words.

Guy needs to switch to decaf?

But the Daily Wire rocks, perhaps you do need to mainline caffeine to have something like that so good on Ben for having the correct enemies.

He should sue for libel.

I’ll take anyone of the groypers over Shapiro.

In 2016, Shapiro disliked Trump, and did not vote for either Trump or Hillary.

In 2020, Shapiro voted for Trump and encouraged his viewers/listeners to vote for Trump. He's still not crazy about Trump, but he is simply not a "never Trumper."

Ben Shapiro gets it right every time he’s exposed so many BS hacks the list is long.
