Last week, Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro gave a speech at Stanford University addressing the “dangerous game” being played by the Alt-Right, whose leaders he condemned as espousing racist and anti-Semitic views based on logically flawed, often self-contradictory premises. As followers of the fringe movement have been doing at recent conservative events, hecklers showed up to Shapiro’s next campus speech, this time at Boston University, to try to trap him with trolling questions. Shapiro responded by efficiently exposing the flawed arguments of his challengers (video below).

Shapiro’s Boston University speech Wednesday was dedicated to responding to the Left’s claim that “America was built on slavery.” The Left’s view of the country, Shapiro argued, is based on reductive, historically illiterate presuppositions that result in a false vision of what actually defines the country. The traditional, conservative view of the country remains true, Shapiro contended.
