Ben Shapiro: Trump Is Still Very Much In Control Of MAGA, Will Be Even Stronger “When He Wins The War”
Ben Shapiro argued the growing narrative that Israel is pushing the U.S. into war with Iran is part of a “motivated op” that is “designed to undermine support for the war.”
BEN SHAPIRO: Some of the MAGA influencer class are freaking out about the heartbreaking loss of former MTV host Theo Von. And hey, if you’ve lost Theo Von and his vast arsenal of foreign policy expertise, you must be in trouble, serious trouble. Here was Theo Von, who could not spot Israel on a map if spotted Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. He was very, very upset about what’s going on in a region of the world that he legitimately could not find. THEO VON, PODCAST HOST: It feels like there’s this war machine and then our soldiers are put into these spaces. And they’re just there to serve in America that they believe in. And it’s no knock against them or anything like that. I just don’t — it just feels like it’s causing a lot of pain and fear. And yeah, I don’t understand our our — I don’t understand Trump’s relationship, I don’t understand our political like why we are so beholden to these to this government, this Israeli government that that just seems to be obsessed with control. SHAPIRO: Hey, man, hey, bro, hey, dude, if business and front party and back hosts aren’t with you, who is? I mean, aside from 90 percent of actual MAGA, the myth-making about the war in Iran is indeed a motivated op. It is designed to undermine support for the war. It is also meant to damage President Trump. Let’s be real about this. All these people who are avoiding saying Trump’s name because they’re cowards. This entire op is designed to damage President Trump. And it’s not going to work because Trump has the loyalty of his followers and his voters, and they trust him to do the right thing here by a margin of 9 to 1. But this whole thing does demonstrate the deep and abiding desire by some, both in the legacy media and in the grievance party right to use this moment to supplant Trump. Some aren’t being particularly shy about it. Candace Owens, for example, points for honesty. Quote, “Joe Kent is an American patriot, hero and veteran. Trump is a shameful president. May American troops take his lead and look into conscientious objection to Bibi’s Red Heifer War. Goyim stand down.” Point to the crazy lady who talks to ghosts, at least for honesty. Tucker Carlson only hints at this. He’s still too chicken to say Trump’s name. Marjorie Taylor is actually doing even more. She’s busily calling Trump a traitor to MAGA, which is kind of like calling Thomas Edison a traitor to the light bulb. But make no mistake, Trump is still very much in control of MAGA. And when he wins the war, that control will solidify even further as it should. Speaking of which, we seem to be nearing something big in Iran.
