I never liked Shapiro. I've never particularly watched his content, but almost every time I saw him I either disagreed or felt he was reaching the right conclusions for the wrong reasons.

I've thought it was strange that his content is EVERYWHERE when I also rarely see people that like him either. I feel like he's being propped up as a new target... get someone kinda lame, and paint him as the "head" of the media arm of maga. It all feels like a big trick to me, so I lean towards this story being real.
