Ben Shapiro On The ‘Woke’ Left’s Quest To Deplatform Conservative Media
Listen To The Full Interview Below:
On today’s Guy Benson Show, Ben Shapiro, Editor Emeritus of TheDailyWire.com and host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” talked about the threat from the woke left to deplatform conservative media and conservative thought.
Ben Shapiro said,
“We all understand your goal here. Your goal is you lump us all together and then you seek to the deplatform, us, ban us. Get neutral service providers to stop providing us services. And you mentioned the, you mentioned the attempt to have social media take down particular websites or the attempts to go after, you know, podcasting. They’re talking about taking away podcasting platforms now. They’re talking about maybe Apple should delist particular podcasts. Or YouTube should delist particular content creators. They’re suggesting that Amazon Web Services shouldn’t just do what it did to Parler. They should do it pretty much everybody.”
Shapiro added,
“This is the constant battle. And it’s a bunch of us on one side who have literally never called for anybody to be the deplatform. I mean, that’s the amazing thing about this. It’s a completely one sided battle. It’s one side that’s just trying to survive and the other side is trying to wipe it out, ideologically speaking, and using all methods of power at its disposal, including corporate power. And then they wonder why conservatives feel like they’re under assault. And then just because you, just because you seem paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. And right now, every major institution in this country is controlled not just by liberals, but unfortunately, increasingly by a woak left that is seeking the destruction of an entire side of the political debate. It’s amazing.”
