Where this was said

At 8:16 · chapter starts 6:56
Shapiro's sharpest commentary is reserved for those on the right who celebrated the Tate brothers.

Ben Shapiro argues this is both…" 06:56 Tucker Carlson traveled to Romania to vouch for the Tates; Candace Owens did the same; members of the Trump administration posed for photos with them.

Shapiro closes by promising a fuller analysis the next day, including what the arrests mean for the internet and the broader right.
