On Sunday, The Daily Wire’s own Ben Shapiro faced off against CNN liberal pundit Sally Kohn in a fierce debate at PolitiCon 2016 in Southern California. Before the event began, the two debaters agreed on the terms of engagement. Shapiro was open to everything under the sun, while Kohn requested specific parameters of argumentation. Kohn wanted to talk about Donald Trump, a one-dimensional target who could presumably be blamed for a myriad of political ills. Shapiro deferred to Kohn, enthusiastic to begin a verbal sparring match.
At the beginning of the debate, Shapiro and Kohn agreed that they did not like Donald Trump, but that was the last time they were of one mind. After Shapiro offered his perspective on Trump, Kohn offered a preamble in which she complimented Shapiro for his stand against Trump, which she said proved he valued principle over party, and saluted him for his courage in leaving Breitbart when the Michelle Fields/Corey Lewandowski incident revealed Breitbart’s fealty to Trump rather than good journalism.
