Orwell cautioned us…
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
~ George Orwell
And the extreme reaction that Ben Shapiro (editor “Truth Revolt,” conservative political commentator, author, talk show host and attorney) experienced last week definitely confirmed the veracity of that warning!
Appearing in a panel discussion on HLN’s Dr. Drew on Call (I know, what? who?) he was physically threatened by transgendered Inside Edition reporter Zoey Tur for failing to play along with the pronoun police.
Discussing Bruce/Caityn Jenner’s receipt of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, Shapiro refused to endorse the latest politically correct position; that “transgendered” individuals are anything but psychologically troubled.
As Breitbart reported about the incident, Zoey was apparently not amused ~
Tur grabbed Shapiro’s neck and growled, “You cut that out now, or you’ll go home in an ambulance.” Shapiro later alleged that Tur had threatened him after the appearance, “I’ll see you in the parking lot,” and that CNN security had escorted Shapiro to his car after ensuring Tur had left the premises. Tur also tweeted out on Friday that he would like to “curb stomp” Shapiro.
Here, check out the exchange for yourself ~
Shapiro, who wrote “Bullies; How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America,” certainly practices what he preaches; stand up to the tyrants on the left. He filed a police report with the LAPD alleging battery against Tur on Sunday morning.
Shapiro explained to Breitbart News why he filed the police report. “Just because the left has designated someone a member of the victim class does not mean that that person gets to infringe the rights of others,” he said of his report. “Until the left learns that, their aggression will not stop.” Shapiro also said that he had spoken with a detective at LAPD, and that he would be pursuing any possibility of charges regarding alleged criminal threats.
Courage and integrity. Young Mr. Shapiro possesses the critical attributes of a truth-telling revolutionary.

Defying God and Nature in the most radical way imaginable–attempting to change your own God-given sex–is a lot of things–tragic, impossible, rebellious, confused, irrational, self-deceived–but it is not ‘courageous.’ And yet powerful opinion-makers guide us in a daily exercise of mass-lying as they push this and other politically correct myths on an increasingly dumbed-down culture […]
… weep–for Jenner, for the death of journalism and for our nation–which is undergoing a “transition” as godless, as destructive and as revolutionary as this poor man in a dress.
