YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Conservative internet pundit Ben Shapiro provided cover for his white supremacist buddies by saying that the Republican party isn’t racist and doesn’t support the Great Replacement Theory. Not only is this a blatant lie, but when confronted with data, around 47% of Republican voters believe in the theory, which is not only racist but deeply antisemitic. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Ben Shapiro dismissed criticism from liberals regarding the Buffalo shooting that left 10 people dead over the weekend, specifically regarding the alleged gunman’s support for replacement theory and whether that fit within mainstream conservatism.

The alleged gunman in the Buffalo, New York mass shooting shared a manifesto that suggested he shared ideological ties to the theory and could have been motivated by it.

On Monday’s episode of The Ben Shapiro Show, Shapiro said, “Now what the Left is trying to do is broaden out the term ‘Great Replacement Theory’ to include any sort of normal concerns about illegal immigration, any suggestions that demographic voting patterns make a difference, which of course everybody both Left and Right knows that they do.”

“I mean, the Left has been claiming for literally as long as I’ve been alive, the changing demographic patterns in the United States were going to shift the politics of the country in a progressive direction,” he continued. “So if you wanna talk about ‘The Great Replacement Theory’ and what this person actually thought, you have to actually read the manifesto and you actually have to know what ‘The Great Replacement Theory’ is.”"
