https://www.rawstory.com/newsmax-black-conservatives-ben-shapiro/The far-right network Newsmax struggled to come up with a list of Black conservatives Wednesday during a report about Black conservatives.
The list of those included were former Sheriff David Clarke, Herman Cain, Ben Shapiro and Ben Carson. Herman Cain died in 2020 of COVID-19 and Ben Shapiro is white.
Host Greg Kelly explained away Shapiro by saying, "Of course, Ben Shapiro, not Black but one of the heroes of the movement."

Though he gave up all the crazy shit years ago, I dont think he has gone as far as Steve Schmidt.
