Ben Shapiro says BBC host destroyed him, apologizes: ‘Broke my own rule... wasn't properly prepared’
Fox News ^ | 5/10/1019 | Brian Flood, Lukas Mikelionis

Ben Shapiro admitted on Friday he wasn’t prepared for a recent interview with BBC host Andrew Neil that resulted in the conservative star abruptly ending the segment.

“[Andrew Neil] DESTROYS Ben Shapiro! So that's what that feels like ;) Broke my own rule, and wasn't properly prepared. I've addressed every single issue he raised before; see below. Still, it's Neil 1, Shapiro 0,” Shapiro tweeted with a link to a Daily Wire article he penned detailing “all the dumb stuff” he’s ever done.

Andrew Neil was great on election night 2016. Really jabbed that smug Norm Ornstein on several occasions. Seemed quite happy with Trump’s win.

I heard him the other day on the radio and thought to myself that Shapiro is a horrible host. He can barely talk, except in a rapid staccato. His voice is irritating and he comes across with the personality of a pot of possums.

He can take a long walk off a short pier.

He IS a short peer.

I agree with you. He handles himself well with the college left, better than most anyone else. That’s a win for our side.

Yeah, he’s unlistenable. His sudden, inexplicable success must have another explanation . . .

Benji got a less than gentle interview, it seems.

Anyone that “disagrees” with a policy position “hates Trump”. That’s what happens when you comingle American idol with presidential elections. Love both Trump and Shapiro. Shapiro could forget more information in 5 minutes than most here have known in their lifetime.

Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Thank you.

Lately, I'm enjoying Shapiro more than Rush on the AM radio. He's more concrete and substantive. Rush is a bit too repetitive and more prediction-based (although he is still turning out to be correct 98% of the time).

When the FR comments are about his voice, false accusations of his sexuality, etc... grrr.. just makes me grumpy. I'm soooo tired of Leftist reactionism on our side.

I agree wholeheartedly. I don’t have to agree 100% with Shapiro but I do have to listen to someone that makes me critically think. However I do agree with him 90% of the time.

I don’t listen to radio for cheerleading lessons. I want to hear not pro and opposing views and challenge their premise. If I wanted a cheerleading session I’d go to a rally.

well he generally is a quick thinker and i’m not sure what this deal was about as he’s obviously said he wasn’t prepared. i’d guess he didn’t research the host and screwed up. Won’t be the first time someone gets egg on their face.

I had a customer who looked to be in her twenties once, looked pregnant so I explained our product and how it affects the senses when pregnant.......trouble is she was actually just fat..... You can imagine how that went over!..She wanted the manager to fire me!

As I usually say to pathetic morons like you, "please stop being on my side". You have no clue what a "NeverTrumper" is, you have no clue how to draw people to our side of the public debate, and you lack the ability to address a topic or opinion substantively, so you bleat your moronic garbage for sanctimonious Virtue Signals like any other disgraceful Leftist jackass. Congratulations. You're as clever as a Democrat.

In fairness to him, he is no longer a never trumper. Also, he admits that people find his voice annoying. He is a smart person even I thought I showed better judgement by voting for the Pressident (one of the few people in my lib/commie enclave to do so)(.

he is only not a never Trumper because he is smart enough to realize that if he continued that path he would be destroyed as a political commentator. if he thought he could take out trump politicly he would. the guy is a deep state asset but he is not there slave and he has a better understanding then most where history is going so he has stopped dancing there dance.

If the guy thinks banning abortion is barbaric and going back to the dark ages, then he is on the left.
