Newsmax Defends The Honor Of Prominent Black Man Ben Shapiro

Newsmax, isn't it adorable when they try to do news? You may know Newsmax they're kind of like Fox news's little kissing cousin, they provide more humor, even get more things wrong, share more conspiracies, I know it's hard to believe anybody does more of that than Fox, but man Newsmax, they punched out higher than their weight class my friends. And so, sorry, earlier today Newsmax decided that they were going to play into grievance politics, you know, it's what the right does, it's what Donald Trump does and Mitch McConnell does and Newt Gingrich does and Fox and, and, you know, Rush Limbaugh when he wasn't dead and, and some of these other, other ghouls on the right. But Newsmax decided they were going to take, you know, really delve into like why liberals hate black conservatives. It was some kind of a racist thing I think, they're black, they're conservative, we must hate them because of that not because of, you know, their actual policies suck and don't work.

So they decide to show a screenshot of, of, I'm sorry, it's hard not to laugh, of four black conservatives that we all hate, I thought I'd read them out loud to you. They are sheriff David Clarke, remember, remember him from Milwaukee. Herman Cain, Ben Shapiro and Ben Carson, quite a collection of black conservatives you got there. Now David Clarke I've hated for a long time and it really has nothing to do with the color of his skin, he could be black, white, green, really anything. When you shackle pregnant women in your prisons, that is torture and he did that and that's something that you dislike somebody for, no matter who they are. When you deprive somebody of water to the point of where they die of dehydration in your prison, yeah, that also happened with David Clarke. David Clarke also went on a trip around 2014, 2015 to this place called Russia you may have heard of it. He was meeting, he was paid to go by the NRA who we now know excepts a lot of money from Russia.

He met with their, the foreign minister Lavrov of Russia who we know has been largely responsible for being one of the hawks pushing war in Ukraine, he pushed war in Syria. He was the guy, you know, laughing it up with Donald Trump in the oval office when Trump was sharing secrets of Israeli missions against Isis and maybe getting our allies killed. Lavrov's a bad dude. But you know who else David Clarke got together with on that nice little NRA funded trip to Russia? He got together with Maria Butina. You may remember her, Maria Butina the Russian spy, came over here had a relationship with a Republican consultant, we are gonna keep hearing Republican and NRA and right-wing as if there's some connection between them and Russia. She had a relationship with a Republican consultant and later was found out that, um, yeah she was a spy and she was sharing all sorts of information with Russia, convicted in court, kicked out of the country and David Clarke went and hung out with her. Took some nice pictures, great pictures. So that's David Clarke and there's a good reason to hate him.

Ben Carson like, I can't really hate, he's Ben Carson. The dude looks like he's asleep half the time. I don't think he knows what he's talking about. But it's really the other two that are the interesting part about this. So there's Herman Cain who's on there and what's really kind of interesting about Herman Cain being a black conservative we all hate is he's dead, as in like, dead. He died in I want to say August to November some August I mean, sorry September of 2020. Like he's been dead for a few years now. He died because he got covid, he got covid because he went to a large Trump event, a super spreader event, when they were still denying covid and telling you to shine a bright light up your butt and inject yourself with bleach and God knows what else, eat horse paste like it's going out of style. Well Ben, not Ben Carson, excuse me, Herman Cain went and without a mask and without a vaccination, he's older, he got covid and he died from it. He's probably the first prominent conservative to die from it.

So listing him among the four current black conservatives we hate, I don't hate the man, for two years now I haven't thought much about him except for the fact that he's dead. And then there's Ben Shapiro. Yeah, he's like really black. I don't know what to do. I should probably show you a picture of Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro is like just about the whitest man alive. How somebody put together a graphic of black republicans and stuck Ben Shapiro in there should really sort of be up there with the mystery of the sphinx.
