<p>On Friday, appearing with Fox News&#8217; &#8220;The Story&#8221; with host Martha MacCallum to discuss his new book, &#8220;The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great,&#8221; Daily Wire Editor-In-Chief Ben Shapiro spoke of the recent furor triggered when the left-wing British publication The Economist first insultingly referred to him as &#8220;alt-right,&#8221; then apologized, only to change the adjective to &#8220;radical conservative.&#8221; Shapiro channeled Democratic presidential candidate Beto O&#8217;Rourke, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m rad, dude. I can skateboard and everything, brah.&#8221;</p>
<p>MacCallum began by citing President Trump&#8217;s remarks on Thursday at a rally in Michigan in which Trump weighed in on the Jussie Smollett saga. Trump&#8217;s remarks prompted the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to state that Trump&#8217;s &#8220;silence on the rise of white nationalism across the country only signals his complicity,&#8221; adding, &#8220;Where was the president&#8217;s call for an investigation when white nationalists marched across the campus of the University of Virginia?&#8221;</p>
