  Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro walked out of a BBC interview after being pressed on old comments he made.

Shapiro appeared on the BBC to talk about his new book “The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great.”

But shortly after exchanging the pleasantries, the host Andrew Neil went on offense and drilled down on Shapiro’s views, asking the commentator whether the recent pro-life bill in Georgia is like bringing back the “Dark Ages” in the U.S.

I heard Ben had a spat with this guy and it's being reported on.

Shapiro later apologized for misinterpreting Neil's "antagonism as political Leftism."

“As I’m not familiar with him or his work, I misinterpreted his antagonism as political Leftism (he termed the pro-life position in America ‘barbaric’) – and that was apparently inaccurate. For that, I apologize," he wrote to his 2.13 million followers.

Not sure why Shapiro is apologizing.  There is nothing right-leaning about a British "conservative."  His questions were garbage.
