On Friday, after Rosie O'Donnell tweeted another vulgar attack on Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro that was blunted yet again, Shapiro used the opportunity to ask Twitter why there was seemingly a double standard when it came to conservatives and leftists. Shapiro's actions were triggered by O'Donnell's Wednesday tweet aimed at him in which she said, "Suck my d***" and her follow-up on Thursday night, in which she grunted, "Lick me too Ben."
Shapiro tweeted:
Just reported @Rosie for targeted harassment, mainly to see if Twitter does indeed have a double standard. Everyone knows if Rosie were conservative, Twitter would suspend her in a hot second. So, Twitter, put your money where your mouth is. #MeToo

When he was asked how his request juxtaposed with his stance on free speech, Shapiro answered:
It's an attempt to clarify Twitter's standards. I don't actually want them to ban or suspend Rosie. I want them to stop applying their own rules inconsistently. https://t.co/3osiWM7aEI

O'Donnell, noticing Shapiro's request of Twitter, stuck to her monosyllabic grunting:
oh ben
