#NeverTrump Grifter Ben Shapiro Rents Email List to NRSC to Sell Pro-Trump Merch

A staunch #NeverTrump conservative has found a new way to profit off of the movement built by President Donald J. Trump, despite openly trashing the man during the 2016 campaign.

“Fellow Conservative,” an email from the National Republican Senate Committee begins. “Redesigned ‘Trump Is Your President’ t-shirts are AVAILABLE NOW.”

The gimmicky email conspicuously displays a graphic that says “The Ben Shapiro Report,” with the words “Call to Action” below, indicating that Shapiro rented his email list to the NRSC.

Big League Politics has often reported on Shapiro’s #NeverTrump ways, but he apparently has no problem making a buck off the Trump, and Trump supporters. Most recently, Shapiro bashed Trump over the nuclear summit held with Kim Jong-un in Singapore.

BLP reported:

“Pre-emptive celebration of a Great Victory by the president is sheer partisan hackery,” tweeted Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro. “Nothing has been accomplished…yet. Perhaps it will be. Celebrate then.”

But what about the North Korean government’s willful destruction of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site during peace talks between countries? What about those three hostages North Korea freed during the same time? What about the top North and South Korean leaders holding talks at the DMZ for only the third time in history? What about opening up diplomatic relations between the United States and the world’s most isolated country?

None of those things count as accomplishments in the eyes of Ben Shapiro, conservative moral arbiter and so-called “voice of reason.”

BLP Passage Ends.

Shapiro may have allegiances based on his moral superiority complex, but apparently his wallet does not.
