Which can easily be interpreted as me saying, I donât feel the same sympathy for the man, that you weirdly seem too, about him being misrepresented. Especially since the quote is on brand for him. That doesnât speak to how I feel about other people being misled or the resulting discussion. Again, your reading comprehension is not stellar, my dude, and hitting the all caps button doesnât help you win your argument.
Because you don't like him doesn't mean he should be misrepresented. I don't like Trump, AOC, or Hassan it doesn't mean I want people to mislead or make up arguments about them. That shouldn't depend on if you like someone or not. His exact statement was recorded.
Again, even when completely removing Shapiro from the equation, the resulting discussion is still relevant. The conversation I was having was never about Ben Shapiro. Which means youâre arguing a nonstarter that I doubt Shapiro himself would care about. So, how I feel about the man is, once again, irrelevant. Either stay on topic or go kick rocks.
If you go back and reread my comments, carefully, youâll see my position that this is, in fact, a common argument regardless of the quoteâs authenticity. The âtheyâ was general.
I want you to find me one quote from a politician or media personality that has said something along the lines of "if you're a poor American. You should be deported" then I'll admit you have some grounds.
The âallegedâ quote never mentioned deportations, that was just someone elseâs interpretation. And who said the statement had to come from someone famous for it to be worthy of discussion, especially when there is evidence that this is the general attitude of a political movement.
But Iâd be surprised is you havenât heard âif you donât like it leaveâ in response to numerous complaints about the USA. Applying the statement to complaints about the economy is not a huge leap.

So you're saying it's okay to mislead because you think he would say it, and because you don't like him. Weird
