Ben Shapiro: US commentator clashes with BBC's Andrew Neil - BBC News

He has more than 2 million followers on Twitter, 600,000 YouTube subscribers and his videos on the Daily Wire channel rack up millions of views.

Ben Shapiro is a controversial figure but one of the US' leading conservative political commentators. His book, The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great, is a New York Times bestseller.

In a spiky Politics Live interview with Andrew Neil, Mr Shapiro refers to an incident which took place between Trump campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski and Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields in 2016.

Although a charge was brought at the time against Mr Lewandowski, Florida prosecutors dropped the case.

This is an unedited version of their interview, which was terminated by Mr Shapiro.

Imagine losing a debate to someone who is not even trying to debate you.

[theintrigued]

Ben Shapiro DESTROYS The BBC’s schedule by LEAVING The Interview Early.

[sirtsregris]

It's weird to see him debate someone above the age of consent

[diemanner]

I've seen many people lose debates. This is the first time I watched someone lose an interview.

[davideb.]

"Thank you for your time, and thank you for showing us that anger is not a part of political discourse"

He shot at a corpse

[iielysiumx]

For a man who claims “facts don’t care about your feelings” he seems very angry and upset when confronted by facts

[willback]

Ben Shapiro called an Iraq war supporter and climate change denier a leftist because he asked him a fair and tough question…

[thog]

This isn’t what I meant when I looked up “Ben Shapiro destroyed by BBC”

[themeettrees]

Looks like this guy wakes up every morning and immediately starts debating with the alarm clock.

[Morning.star]

Acting tough in front of children, finally getting owned by an adult. What a clown

[sarah]

the shade at the end lol
"...and for showing that anger is not part of American political discourse..." xD

[notquiteatory]

Shapiro: you’re clearly left wing
Andrew Neil: *laughs in conservative*

[connorjensen]

"you've failed to answer a single one of my questions"

said the interviewee to the interviewer.

[naminammm]

The insult about ‘making a quick buck’ on a publicly and charity funded news network, as well as his comment on Andrew Neil being on the left, demonstrates how little Ben knows about anything outside of his rigid and polarised opinions.

[jima]

Ben: you haven’t answered a single question I asked.
Who’s the interviewer here? 😂 talking 100 miles an hours doesn’t make it right.

[Iyana]

I don't know whether to make the playback speed faster because of Neil or slower because of Ben

[Atombender]

Andrew Neil: "I am a climate change denier and neoconservative."
Ben Shapiro: "Nice try, leftist."

[eyesofthecervino]

"There are not many bucks to be made on the BBC, unlike American broadcasting, Mr. Shapiro." Oh my word, this underrated zing really hits the mark, doesn't it?

[Jo-kpgk]

This is the funniest self humiliation ever. He acts like a gerbil on speed.

[Cardinal]

The beautiful thing is that this interview is never going to go away.
