The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

There's one person in the group chat, apparently, who works in the Trump administration, who is not recorded having said anything.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

So he was in it, but as far as we know, he didn't say anything, quote unquote, offensive.

But there were other comments made in the group chat, as Politico reported.

Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

reveals that were a lot of edgy jokes and a lot of offensive language that's being used in the script chat.

And most of it, as Politico finally admits in the article, if you read all 57 paragraphs of it, they'll finally admit that, yeah, most of this is supposed to be a joke.

Although they don't, of course, put that in the headline.

And the title of the article has the quotes, I love Hitler.

And when you look at the context of that comment in the group chat, it's very obvious that it is a joke.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

It's sarcasm, very much in line with the kind of sarcasm Republicans use all the time about, yeah, I'm real far right.

I guess I love Hitler.

You know, along the lines of me having theocratic fascist in my Twitter bio, which isn't entirely a joke, but it's mostly a joke.

Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

So this kind of breaks down a few different ways.

And for me, the story here is not the group chat, because these are private messages between people that no one knows.

Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

These are not relevant people.

Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

And the only reason why the media is showing us this, the only reason why they're doing this,

Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

is, obviously, it's a political hit.

And in particular, they're trying to distract from the fact that the left has spent the last month, I mean, really much longer than that, but especially the last month, openly celebrating political violence.

And now we have an attorney general candidate, who's probably going to be the next attorney general of Virginia,

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: The Next Decade Begins

who was in his own messages saying, not as a joke, that he wants his political opponents to die and even their children to die.

And he was very specific that he was not joking about it.
