Uh-huh. You say "asking the questions" like he actually wondered if it happened. Still, you havent even provided a single source for anything youre claiming. Tell you what. I'll go out on a limb and you can make me eat crow with very minimal effort if anything you're saying is arguably true.

Ben Shapiro has never promoted 2020 election fraud or argued for it's legitimacy.

The single caveat is that "promoted" is not to be synonymous with "talked about". Him bringing up the topic is not promoting it, especially if he doesnt argue for its legitimacy. My guess is you'll just deflect into some kind of "Im not gonna do your homework for you" response.

You have continuously lied about what I have said and tried to distort my words multiple time in this thread. I see why you’re so defensive off of your dearest Ben. In what world do you think I owe you anything? You don’t get any caveats. Giving the big lie a platform is promoting it.



Here’s a video a full month after the election. The guest was one of Trumps helpers in promoting the big lie. The video was often cited as proof of election fraud. The video is call too many loose ends. This is certainly promoting the election fraud narrative that was in full swing at the the time.

Here is an article where Ben is criticizing Tucker for not taking a harder line of questioning of Trump on the stolen election. This is after Tucker basically already admitted that the election wasn’t stolen. Why would you ask for this line of questioning if you were trying to end the discussion? He’s just asking questions right? I’m sure you’ll spin it in your own dishonest way.

He is careful in his criticism of 2000 mules but he certainly don’t try to dispel the premise of the film. This is without a doubt giving validity to the big lie.

I think the data is really interesting. I think that it’s really suspicious for sure.

Here he calls the election rigged not stolen. This is a common theme among people decrying the election as illegitimate. It wasn’t rigged. Like many conservatives he is just a sore loser.

Here is another article destroying this narrative that Ben Shapiro is some great critical thinker. Here he falls for the debunked claims of a crook.

I’m not sure why I wasted my time with someone like you. You’re just going to chudsplain that doesn’t count. It’s funny in this entire thread you have not once defended Ben as this great critical thinker. Which was the original issue you had with my first statement. Of which i still stand by. Now pound sand chud.

Jesus christ. Thats 30 minutes of my life I'd like back. I think every single site you linked bloated my computer with a quadrillion terrabytes of malware.

First off, its blatantly obvious you didnt even spend any time looking at your own source content. The video might be called "too many loose ends" by the site you linked, but nobody said that in the video. Shapiros questions were completely reasonable. He didnt say there was any fraud. He asked why any of this would constitute fraud if it were true, and how it could be proven true if it were in fact true.

Pretty reasonable questions from someone making a living on news and current events.

Dude, your second source is , again, Shapiro bringing up pretty reasonable questions and hes criticizing Tucker for not asking them.
Now, the question he should have asked is: We all know they’re going to — you say that you won the election last time. And if you’re Tucker, you believe that’s true, apparently, or you at least believe enough of it that you’re willing to say it. The question to Trump should be: okay, how are you going to un-steal it? Right. That’s like a question that, whether you love Trump, whether you hate Trump, like, that’s a really good question that Trump has never answered. You say the election was stolen in 2020, but you won. But it was stolen. But you won. So let’s say the same thing happens this time. What is your plan to un-steal the election? Can you name how you’re going to overcome all of this? Can you lay out like, your electoral strategy? How can you get out the vote? What kind of budgeting are you dedicating to, say, grassroots organizing? What sort of budget are you dedicating to your legal team? What sort of legal measures are you preparing? Do you have ballot watchers, do you have vote counters? Like, how exactly is this going? Like, that would be a useful question. How much of your Trump campaign fund is being dedicated to, say, your legal expenses in Georgia as opposed to building up the infrastructure necessary to preserve an election that you win, if you say that you won 2020?Is that the question Tucker asked? Nah. He asked him the question of like, why are people so mean to you

Theres nothing unreasonable there. And theres no "promoting" election fraud.

Your last link barely even mentions Shapiro in passing.

Nothing you posted here is of any relevance and actually contradicts your point. Not to mention your standard for "promoting the big lie" is stupid. According to you, the fact that you posted these links means you're "promoting the lie".

You posted links you didnt even check, with content that doesnt validate your point. You just searched for whatever headlines you could grab that you thought had any relevance. Again, your whole point is that he "promoted the big lie", and you havent backed that up with anything other than cancerous sites that dont even say what you think they do.

He was also really embarrassingly overrated Lesnar when Brock was in the UFC. Not to mention all the kids he killed...

This from the guy saying Overeem would destroy the UFC HW division.

And they all had it coming.

Overeem destroyed Brock and beat Mir pretty easily. Lost to some new arrivals, and got old.

Fair.
 
I have noticed quiet the opposite kids are more critical of everything and academically suck.
