Don't care about his political aspirations. But like he said, he was 20. The question is what are his views now. Has he grown, become wise, has his views changed or did they become more ingrained. At 20 I was indoctrinated with a lot of views, being very influential when you are young. But I have grown, changed and still continue to question current views and make up my own mind

He only recently called Palestinians savages and equated Anti-genocide protestors with the KKK.

The campaign aims at Shapiro's comparison of some pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses to the Ku Klux Klan, as well as his opposition to a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

He clearly did zero growth since he wrote that article.

Yeah then that is a problem, if he cannot grow how could he be fit for leadership roles
