The chapter opens with Shapiro introducing Scott Wiener as 'trash' — a California legislator with a long record of pro-LGBTQ legislation who capitulated to the left in January by declaring Israel guilty of genocide. At the San Francisco trans march, a crowd surrounded Wiener, screamed at him about his 'Israeli handlers,' made physical contact, and drove him from the park for the first time in 22 years. Shapiro is unsympathetic: 'When the revolution eats its own, I'm not going to pretend to be upset.' He reads Wiener's official statement, then skewers the phrase 'trans-led Pride Shabbat service' as not a real thing. The DSA is simultaneously turning on AOC: Hasan Piker calls her 'far more careful than what this moment requires,' and Cenk Uygur criticizes her for endorsing Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker rather than backing a challenger to an incumbent Democrat. AOC's own clip urges party unity — 'we need each other whether we like it or not' — but Shapiro argues the radicals no longer believe that.
AOC is backing Jeffries for Speaker and hasn't endorsed a single challenger to an incumbent Democrat in two election cycles. For Hasan Piker, she plays 'too safe.' For Cenk Uygur, she's betrayed the movement. The revolution is eating its second course.
