Mr. Shapiro apparently is still afraid of being called a “ray-ciss”.
More and more I feel that the powers that be have decided that their usual go-to fake conservatives like George Will and Bill Kristol have ruined their ability to lie about being conservative so they needed a new standard bearer who appeared to be a fire breathing conservative on inconsequential matters but who just happens to suggest “moderation” whenever it matters ... in other words, taking left on all important issues. And they’ve settled on Ben Shapiro to be the designated shill.
