Twitter Roasts Ben Shapiro After He Appears To Come Out As Gay Thanks To Tweet's Poor Grammar

Grammar is a vitally important skill, especially if you're a far-right provocateur running your mouth on Twitter.

The Daily Wire commentator Ben Shapiro is learning this lesson the hard way after a poorly written tweet had people thinking he was coming out as gay--surely the last thing a man who routinely pontificates about masculinity and gender roles intended.


Shapiro was attempting to troll The View commentator Ana Nàvarro-Cardenas in response to a tweet she posted about her gay male best friend.

But the way Shapiro worded it made it sound like he was coming out as gay himself--a move sure to get him cut from the homophobic far-right's Christmas list this year.

See the tweet below.

Shapiro's tweet was a trolling response to Navarro-Cárdenas' tweet about her gay male best friend's shock and dismay at the Supreme Court's leaked opinion on Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health, which if adopted in the Court's next session in June will invalidate Roe v. Wade and overturn abortion rights.

Shapiro tweeted in response:

"As a gay man, I have been reliably informed he cannot opinion on this, and you should have told him to shut up"

Now what Shapiro surely meant to write was a snarky and sarcastic complaint about the oft-repeated notion that abortion is a women's issue on which men should not have decisive say.

But as written, the tweet reads as if Shapiro was identifying himself as a gay man. Which is funny, considering Shapiro has written more than 10 books--you'd think he'd have a better handle on grammar and syntax.

Anyway, Mr. Shapiro, if you're reading, let us help you with this. What you meant to write was, "I have been reliably informed that as a gay man, he cannot [have an] opinion on this, and you should have told him to shut up."

See? Same words, same whiny, bigoted, insufferable sentiment, but clear as a bell in the reading so that nobody gets the notion that you actually are homosexual, since you believe it's a mental illness. You're welcome!

On Twitter, of course, nobody was about to let this slide, and the trolling came in hot.






Remember kids, grammar matters!

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
