Benjamin Aaron Shapiro (born January 15, 1984) is an American conservative political commentator, columnist, author, radio talk show host, media executive, activist, and attorney.
A native of Los Angeles, CA, Shapiro graduated from Yeshiva University High School of Los Angeles at age 16, after skipping two grades.[1] He graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2004, at age 20, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science, and then cum laude from Harvard Law School in 2007.[2] He then practiced law at Goodwin Procter. Today he runs an independent legal consultancy firm, Benjamin Shapiro Legal Consulting, in Los Angeles.[3]
He has written seven books, the first being 2004's Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth, which he started writing when 17 years old.[4] He writes a column for Creators Syndicate and is editor-in-chief at The Daily Wire. As a media entrepreneur, he is the co-founder and former editor-in-chief of the media watchdog group TruthRevolt.[5]
Early life
Shapiro was born in Los Angeles, CA.[6] His family is Jewish, partially from Russia.[7] Skipping two grades (third and ninth), Shapiro went from Walter Reed Middle School[8] to Yeshiva University High School of Los Angeles where he graduated in 2000 at age 16.[9][3]
Shapiro graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 2004 and graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School in 2007.[2]
Writing career
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Ben_Shapiro_at_Mizzou_cropped_retouched.jpg/180px-Ben_Shapiro_at_Mizzou_cropped_retouched.jpg)
At age 17, while a student at UCLA, Ben Shapiro became the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the United States, which under California law required his parents to sign the contract. By age 21, he had written two national bestsellers, Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth and Porn Generation: How Social Liberalism Is Corrupting Our Future.[10]
In his 2004 book Brainwashed:
- Shapiro insists that students aren’t exposed to a variety of viewpoints at universities and that those who don’t have strong opinions will be overwhelmed by an atmosphere dominated by liberal instructors even if discussion is encouraged in classrooms.[11]
In a 2005 piece in TownHall, Shapiro defended the Iraq War, justifying it with the "toppling [of] Saddam Hussein and democratizing [of] Iraq... and end his material support for future threats globally".[12]
His third book, Project President: Bad Hair and Botox on the Road to the White House, was published by Thomas Nelson in 2008.
In 2011, HarperCollins published Shapiro's fourth book, Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV, in which Shapiro argues that Hollywood has a left-wing agenda which it actively promotes through prime-time entertainment programming. For the book, Shapiro interviewed many in the entertainment industry.[13] In an interview with Thom Hartmann on RT's The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann, Shapiro cited the children's show Sesame Street as an example of left-wing propaganda.[14] Shapiro also interviewed several producers who said that Happy Days and M*A*S*H had an intended pro-pacifist orientation.[15] Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times questioned Shapiro citing The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Simpsons as examples, and Goldstein argued that those shows have "gone over like gangbusters with middle America."[13] The same year Primetime Propaganda came out, Shapiro became a fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.[16]
In 2013, Threshold Editions published Shapiro's fifth book, Bullies: How the Left's Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans. Bullies is Shapiro's first book to be listed on The New York Times Best Seller List; the book debuted at #32 in the combined print and e-book nonfiction list on January 27.[17]
On October 7, 2013, Shapiro co-founded the TruthRevolt media watchdog website in association with the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The site was intended to be a conservative counterpart to Media Matters for America.[18] Shapiro resigned as the site's editor-in-chief in April 2015.[5]
Breitbart.com
In 2012, Shapiro became editor-at-large of Breitbart.com, a news and opinion website founded by Andrew Breitbart.[19] In March 2016, Shapiro resigned from his position as editor-at-large of Breitbart.com following what he characterized as the website's lack of support for reporter Michelle Fields in response to her alleged assault by Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's former campaign manager.[20][21]
The Daily Wire
Shapiro founded The Daily Wire in September 21, 2015. He is Editor-in-chief as well as a host of his political online podcast The Ben Shapiro Show, which is broadcast every weekday.
"Friends of Hamas" story
On February 7, 2013, Shapiro published an article citing unspecified Senate sources who said that a group named "Friends of Hamas" was among foreign contributors to the political campaign of Chuck Hagel, a former US Senator awaiting confirmation as Secretary of Defense as a nominee of President Barack Obama. In the article, Shapiro criticized the Obama administration for ignoring his questions about Hagel's foreign associations and called for full disclosure of Hagel's foreign ties.[22]
On February 20, Slate reporter David Weigel reported that he could not find any convincing evidence "Friends of Hamas" actually existed, based on personal interviews with Senate staffers, the conservative Center for Security Policy, and the US Treasury Department Terror Sponsors list.[23] Shapiro told Weigel that the story he published was "the entirety of the information [he] had."[24]
Subsequently, New York Daily News reporter Dan Friedman reported on February 20 that he may have been the unwitting source of the "Friends of Hamas" allegation. Friedman said that the story arose in the course of questioning Republican aides over Hagel's connections to foreign terrorist groups, presuming that one of the aides had interpreted his asking about such political connections as evidence of their existence.[25] Shapiro responded by reporting that his source had averred that Friedman was not a source.[26][27]
Perspective on Israel
Shapiro is a strong supporter of Israel, and has criticized the Obama administration for lacking sufficient support of Israel.[28] [29] He has also criticized the passage of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly referred to as the Iran Deal, believing it would threaten the existence of Israel.[30][31][32]
In a column for Townhall.com in 2003, during the Second Intifada, Shapiro proposed expelling the Palestinian population from the West Bank, writing, "The Jews don't realize that expelling a hostile population is a commonly used and generally effective way of preventing violent entanglements. … After World War II, Poland was recreated by the Allied Powers. … Anywhere from 3.5 million to 9 million Germans were forcibly expelled from the new Polish territory and relocated in Germany. … The Germans accepted the new border, and decades of conflict between Poles and Germans ended. … If Germans, who had a centuries-old connection to the newly created Polish territory, could be expelled, then surely Palestinians, whose claim to Judea, Samaria and Gaza is dubious at best, can be expelled."[33] Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg said, "this was the position of the extremist Meir Kahane, who was banned by the Israeli Supreme Court from participating in Israeli politics because of his racist views."[34]
A decade later, however, Shapiro reversed his position. In an article published on March 13, 2013, Shapiro wrote, "Some on the right have proposed population transfer from the Gaza Strip or West Bank as a solution. This is both inhumane and impractical. Moving millions of Palestinians out of areas they have known for their entire lives will certainly not pave the way to peace" and while "both right and left agree that a population separation is necessary," he proposes that Israel "has no choice but to weather [the anti-Israeli propaganda]" until a realistic solution comes to light.[35]
UCLA BDS proposal
On February 25, 2014, the UCLA Undergraduate Student Association Council (USAC) convened to consider a resolution for the university to join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement. Shapiro appeared at his alma mater to deliver counterarguments to the resolution. Shapiro argued that the resolution constituted hypocrisy and selective moral outrage in targeting Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, which he described as far less egregious than the human rights violations carried out by other countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, and by groups such as the Palestinians themselves. He pointed to the differences between Israel and the rest of the countries in the Middle East as it relates to the treatment of sexual and religious freedom and diversity, and made the claim that the BDS Movement is fueled not by true concern for human rights but instead by antisemitism.[36] Following Shapiro's comments, the resolution was rejected. However, the Undergraduate Student Association Council eventually passed a BDS resolution in November, although UCLA did not adopt the measures proposed. The university has repeatedly stated it has no intention of divesting from any Israeli or Israel related companies.[37]
Legal career
After graduating from Harvard Law School in 2007, Shapiro practiced law at the Los Angeles office of Goodwin Procter LLP. Today he does independent legal consulting for major media clients.[38]
Campus lectures
Shapiro frequently speaks at a number of college campuses across the country, often to present his conservative viewpoint on more controversial subjects.
University of Missouri
In November 2015, in the wake of the protests at the University of Missouri, Shapiro was invited by the campus's chapter of the College Republicans, in conjunction with Young America's Foundation, to speak at the university. The speech, entitled "The Truth is a Microaggression", was critical of the Black Lives Matter movement, safe spaces, microaggressions, and other aspects of American college campuses and the behavior of modern college students.[39] The theater in which he spoke was filled to capacity as over 400 people attended, and the live-stream of the event was viewed by more than 130,000 people.[40]
CSULA
On February 25, 2016, Shapiro gave a speech at California State University, Los Angeles, entitled "When Diversity Becomes a Problem". Shapiro's speech focused on how the concepts of microaggressions and safe spaces were being used to suppress free speech in the name of diversity of skin color, while ignoring the value of diversity of thought.[41] In response to the announcement of the speech, hosted by the campus's chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, student protesters demanded that the speech be cancelled, labeling it as "hate speech". The university's president, William Covino, eventually announced the cancellation of the speech three days before it was to take place, with the intention of rescheduling it so that the event could feature Shapiro debating someone with opposing viewpoints.[42] In response to the cancellation, Shapiro said he would be attending the event anyway, and several lawsuits were threatened against the university for canceling the speech. As a result, Covino ultimately backed down and allowed the speech to go on as planned.[43]
The day of the speech, hundreds of student protesters formed human chains to block the doors to the theater where the event was to be held, shoving away anyone who attempted to enter and starting several fights in the crowded lobby. Some students were ultimately able to enter the theater by being sneaked in through back doors, though the protesters soon found out and barricaded those doors as well. Shapiro eventually made it into the theater and began his speech, only for a fire alarm to be pulled by one of the protesters; Shapiro continued speaking regardless, calling Covino "cowardly" and referring to the protesters as "spoiled brat snowflakes" and "fascists".[44] After the speech ended, Shapiro had to be escorted out a secret exit by police and his own bodyguards, while those inside the theater were told that they could not leave since the protesters were preventing anyone from leaving. Only after Shapiro left did the protesters eventually disperse, and those inside the theater were allowed to exit.[45]
Three months after the CSULA incident, Young America's Foundation announced on May 19 that it was filing a lawsuit against the university (with Shapiro as one of the plaintiffs), claiming that the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the students were violated by Covino's attempted cancelation of the event, as well as the physical barricading of students from entering or leaving the event, and the encouragement of such actions by several campus professors.[46][47][48]
DePaul University
On November 15, 2016, Shapiro was invited to speak at DePaul University, at an event hosted by the school's chapters of the College Republicans and Young Americans for Freedom. The event also featured feminist professor Christina Hoff Sommers and had a focus on the subject of free speech on American college campuses, particularly in the wake of the recent election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. However, partially due to a previous controversy when Milo Yiannopoulos spoke at DePaul several months prior, the university officially banned Shapiro from attending the event, as a speaker or an audience member. Shapiro vowed to appear at the event regardless.[49] Upon his arrival, he was blocked from entering the venue by a DePaul public safety officer, who informed Shapiro that he would be arrested if he tried to enter the hall.[50] Shapiro then called Hoff Sommers, who was speaking during the event at that moment, and informed her that he would move to another building nearby where he would be allowed to speak. Hoff Sommers and the audience subsequently moved to that building to join Shapiro.[51]
Target of anti-Semitism
In May 2016 New York Magazine reported: "Shapiro...has increasingly found himself targeted by the so-called alt-right movement, a loose conglomeration of online personalities—many if not most of them anonymous—currently devoted to tweeting and posting their support for Donald Trump and attacking those who disagree, often in racist and anti-Semitic ways. They have been denigrating Shapiro as a 'pussy', a 'cuck' and a 'kike'."[52]
In an article in National Review, Shapiro wrote: "I've experienced more pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism since coming out against Trump's candidacy than at any other time in my political career. Trump supporters have threatened me and other Jews who hold my viewpoint. They've blown up my e-mail inbox with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. They greeted the birth of my second child by calling for me, my wife, and two children to be thrown into a gas chamber."[53]
An article in The Washington Post quoted an Anti-Defamation League report that "focused in particular on the anti-Semitic tweets aimed at journalists, frequently those whose writing about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has displeased a large contingent of Twitter users who band together to attack these journalists online. The words most commonly found in the bios of the people who post these anti-Semitic attacks? 'Trump,' 'nationalist,' 'conservative,' 'American' and 'white'...The target of the most anti-Semitic tweets, by far, was Ben Shapiro, a conservative writer who formerly worked for Breitbart and who does not support Trump."[54] Shapiro stated "I'm honored because being targeted by mouth-breathing idiots is a compliment—you know you're doing something right if people who tweet pictures of gas chambers on the day of your child's birth find you unacceptable as a human being."[55] He also said: "As the fellow who receives hook-nosed Jew memes more than any other journalist on the planet, I don't believe that people ought to be suspended or banned from Twitter or Facebook for posting vile garbage, so long as it isn't openly advocating violence. I make a habit of retweeting these pieces of human feces in order to mock their stupidity and to expose the fact that people like this exist."[55]
Personal life
Shapiro has three sisters. In 2008, he married Mor Toledano, an Israeli citizen of Jewish-Moroccan descent.[56] Shapiro and his wife practice Orthodox Judaism.[57][58] Together, they have a daughter, born in 2014,[59] and a son, born in 2016.[60] His daughter was born with a congenital heart defect known as atrial septal defect, which was corrected with open heart surgery in August 2015 by the same cardiac surgeon who worked on Jimmy Kimmel's son at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.[61]
In July 2015, Shapiro and transgender rights activist Zoey Tur were on Dr. Drew On Call to discuss Caitlyn Jenner's receipt of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.[62][63] Shapiro called Tur by male terminology, which Tur viewed as a provocation and replied by threatening him with physical harm. Shapiro announced publicly that he had filed a police report after Tur had grabbed his neck and threatened on air to "send him home in an ambulance".[64][65][66]
