Works

Shapiro has interviewed many right-wing politicians and media people. Shapiro was mentioned by name in a leaked Google e-mail about radical YouTube content which called Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager Nazis.

The Economist published an interview with him calling him alt-right but then said that he was a critic of the alt-right, apologized, and described him as "radical conservative".[5] He writes for some newspapers and magazines including The Washington Post.[6] The Atlantic and The New York Times describe his political philosophy as either conservatism or extreme conservatism.

Shapiro has often said "Facts don't care about your feelings."[7]

Shapiro argued that Gender Dysphoria should not have been removed from the DSM as a mental illness.[8]

Shapiro has written eleven books, including The Right Side of History[9] and How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.[10]
