WATCH: Shapiro Channels Beto O’Rourke After Being Called ‘Radical Conservative’

On Friday, appearing with Fox News’ “The Story” with host Martha MacCallum to discuss his new book, “The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great,” 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 “alt-right,” then apologized, only to change the adjective to “radical conservative.” Shapiro channeled Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, saying, “I’m rad, dude. I can skateboard and everything, brah.”

MacCallum began by citing President Trump’s remarks on Thursday at a rally in Michigan in which Trump weighed in on the Jussie Smollett saga. Trump’s remarks prompted the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to state that Trump’s “silence on the rise of white nationalism across the country only signals his complicity,” adding, “Where was the president’s call for an investigation when white nationalists marched across the campus of the University of Virginia?”
