Social Media Roasts Ben Shapiro for Saying the 'Sound Was off' on Donald Trump's Computer When He Retweeted 'White Power' Video
Political commentator Ben Shapiro is facing criticism after he defended President Donald Trump [...]
So even if Ben Shapiro is right and Trump had the sound off, what does it say about the President’s judgment that he’d retweet a video to 82.5 million followers w/o watching/hearing the content or thinking of the repercussions of that?

• He didn't say that.
• He didn't mean to say that.
• He was kidding / sarcastic.
• It's not that bad that he said it.
• Others have said worse.
Ben Shapiro's entire position for the past three years has been that Donald Trump is too incompetent and ignorant to be racist. https://t.co/FTPWrgwmSC

prevnextIt’s great how Ben Shapiro is trying to defend Trump by suggesting he had the sound off when he retweeted the white power video which is basically saying “He’s not racist, he’s just careless and stupid! Checkmate, libs!”

Ben Shapiro's defense of Trump's RT of a white power video: He has the attention span of a goldfish, he can't even read bullet points, he was bored and RTed random stuff, do you think he can watch a 25s video?
The famous "He's not racist, he's just a fucking dumbass" defense.

prevnextI love that the preface to excusing Trump involves declaring that he has no attention span, doesn’t read his own briefings and is “bored”. Why that’s just the person we want making decisions that affect millions of lives in the middle of a pandemic, recession and race protests.

And you can’t possibly expect the President of the United States to carefully evaluate every bit of content he promotes from the single most influential office in the entire world. So unreasonable! Like, he’d need a whole communications staff or something!

prevnextAll this means is that the president doesn’t take the power of his platform seriously. Otherwise he would act responsibly regarding what voices he chooses to bolster

They've even given up on good lies. Disgraceful.

prevnextThat’s not an excuse. Especially for doing something a sitting president shouldn’t be doing anyways.

prevnextThere's no excuse for the Leader of the Free World to retweet a video that he hasn't listened to. Not that ANYONE believes he didn't!

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Shapiro is 100 percent correct here.
That means we have a President who just blindly re-tweets crap, with no idea what that crap is.
If my kids had done that, their screens would've been taken away from them. It's irresponsible.

prevAs if that is a valid excuse. He’s the fricking president of the USA! He should know better.
