From May 2, 2014<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\nOn Thursday, TruthRevolt Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro appeared on The Kelly File with Megyn Kelly to share his personal concerns about the possible slippery slope of the NBA slapping a lifetime ban on Clipper’s owner Donald Sterling for racist views he expressed on an illegally obtained recording, rather than any racist actions he had taken.<\/p>\n

“What we are seeing here is that thoughts matter significantly more than actions,” said Shapiro, before highlighting prior lawsuits against Sterling alleging racial discrimination toward minorities. “Now he says the wrong thing and the NBA wants to oust him. So we live in an era, unfortunately, when public views and apparently private views that are taped by your girlfriend in the privacy of your own home are more important to the general public than the actions you take.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By contrast, when you watch from 7:38 onwards taken in the past two weeks, Ben Shapiro says about racists: “We need to go after them and ruin their careers.”<\/p>\n
