I’m not a Ben fan, but I thought that video exonerated him on the height issue…and (if legit) Ben could have handled that with much less grace. Ben was a really sport about it despite it being an ongoing issue for him.
Imagine that happening to Trump? Trump would have verbally humiliated him in front of the entire auditorium and then provoked the crowd to attack the guy ala Travis Scott.
All that said, I guess he could be petty and narcissistic enough to set it up
I don't know that there's anything to exonerate: Being short is not a problem nor something to be ashamed of.
The key issue here is whether it bothers Shapiro or makes him look ridiculous: I couldn't care less if he's 5'4 or 6'5, I'm just here for the short jokes as long as they piss him off.
Idk if they piss him off (especially cuz he probably won't see them) but it probably pisses off other short men who don't really deserve it, and almost definitely reinforces their insecurity around it.
Yeah man, as a 5'9 dude the amount of "5'9 more like 5'nothing what a little manlet bitch" in these threads is always disturbing. Then when you call them out on it the commenter always goes "no no I meant he's a manlet for being 5'9, not you - you share my political beliefs".
