Jeremy Boreing dismisses Piers Morgan guest’s criticism of Ben Shapiro as moral equivalency nonsense.
Daily Wire Co-Founder Fires Back at Comedian’s Attack on Ben Shapiro
Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of the Daily Wire, didn’t hold back when responding to Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef’s criticism of his colleague Ben Shapiro on Piers Morgan’s show “Uncensored” Tuesday night.
Before Boreing came on the show to discuss The Daily Wire’s new kids entertainment company, Bentkey, Morgan engaged in a discussion about the Israel-Hamas war with Youssef. Seizing the opportunity, Youssef launched an attack on Shapiro, sarcastically claiming to agree with him to avoid being labeled a “terrorist sympathizer.” He then falsely accused Shapiro of advocating for the killing of everyone in the Gaza Strip.
Youssef went on to claim that Shapiro’s solution to the conflict was for Israel to annex Gaza and kill as many people as possible. He even spread the debunked claim that Israel had killed 500 people in an airstrike on a hospital.
Morgan pushed back against Youssef’s accusations, playing a clip of what Shapiro actually said on his show, where he called for targeting Hamas terrorists, not civilians in Gaza. Finally, Boreing was given the chance to respond to Youssef’s claims.
Boreing, while acknowledging that he couldn’t speak for Shapiro, passionately defended his colleague and laid out their views on the war and the appropriate response to the terrorist attack on Israel.
He emphasized that while no one is happy about the killing of civilians, the actions of Israel and Hamas are not morally equivalent. Boreing also criticized the idea of a “proportionate response,” stating that no moral person could call for such a thing.
He argued that the purpose of war is to defeat the enemy and secure victory, and that the West has forgotten this due to the terrible cost of war. Boreing also highlighted the importance of winning a war to justify its moral justification.
When asked about Israel’s actions, Boreing pointed out that Israel didn’t instigate the war and was forced to respond to a terrorist attack. He also criticized the notion of moral equivalency, stating that it is not a sign of decency to engage in such a conversation.
According to Boreing, what is the potential danger of attempting to silence conservative viewpoints like Shapiro’s?
The opportunity to voice his own opinions, Youssef took the chance to criticize Shapiro, a frequent guest on Morgan’s show and a prominent conservative commentator.
Youssef accused Shapiro of being a “misguided extremist” and claimed that Shapiro’s rhetoric contributes to the division and polarization in society. He argued that Shapiro’s strong conservative views promote a toxic environment where people are unable to have meaningful conversations and find common ground.
In response, Boreing did not shy away from defending his colleague. He argued that Youssef’s criticism was unfounded and misguided. Boreing pointed out that Shapiro is known for his logical and fact-based arguments, and that he invites open and honest dialogue, even with those who disagree with him.
Boreing emphasized that Shapiro’s conservative viewpoints do not inherently promote division, but rather serve as an alternative perspective that enriches public discourse. He asserted that it is important to have a diversity of opinions and voices in public debates, as it leads to a more well-rounded understanding of complex issues.
Furthermore, Boreing criticized Youssef for attempting to silence Shapiro and others with conservative views. He claimed that Youssef’s attack on Shapiro was indicative of a larger pattern in society where dissenting opinions are dismissed and labeled as dangerous. Boreing stressed the importance of allowing all voices to be heard, regardless of their political leanings.
Boreing also addressed Youssef’s claim that Shapiro’s rhetoric contributed to the divisions in society. He argued that it is not the responsibility of any individual commentator to bear the burden of societal division. Boreing contended that it is up to individuals themselves to engage in respectful and constructive conversations, regardless of their ideological differences.
In conclusion, Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of the Daily Wire, responded strongly to Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef’s criticism of his colleague Ben Shapiro. Boreing defended Shapiro’s logical and fact-based arguments, emphasizing the importance of diverse voices in public discourse. He criticized Youssef for attempting to silence conservative viewpoints and argued that it is up to individuals to engage in respectful dialogue, regardless of their political leanings. Ultimately, Boreing’s response exemplifies the importance of open and honest conversation in today’s polarized society.
