Ben Shapiro

Editor-in-chief, The Daily Wire

One of the best-known conservative columnists in the US – and the scourge of left-wing progressives and supporters of President Trump alike – Shapiro has been writing about politics since the age of 17. At the height of the 2016 presidential election, Shapiro publicized the antisemitic abuse targeting him in an article for the National Review. "I've experienced more pure, unadulterated antisemitism since coming out against Trump's candidacy than at any other time in my political career," he wrote. Political battles which Shapiro has been fighting in 2018 include his trenchant criticisms of Pope Francis over the sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. A New York Times bestselling author of seven books, Shapiro is editor-in-chief of news and opinion site The Daily Wire and host of the popular video podcast, "The Ben Shapiro Show." (Photo: Facebook.)
