Ben Shapiro\u2019s argument, as presented in the clip, focused on three key areas of criticism against Omar: her past statements, her general attitude towards terrorism, and the perceived \u201cdouble standard\u201d from the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
Shapiro and the host highlighted several instances that, in their view, demonstrated Omar\u2019s lack of seriousness regarding terrorism:<\/p>\n
2013 Al-Qaeda Comment:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Omar described taking a college class on terrorism where the professor would over-emphasize the name \u201c<\/p>\n <\/span>Al-Qaeda<\/span><\/strong>\u201d with a specific tone and intensity, noting that Americans don\u2019t say \u201c<\/span>America<\/span><\/strong>\u201d with the same intensity.<\/span>\u00a0The criticism was that this showed a failure to acknowledge the severity of the threat Al-Qaeda posed.<\/p>\n 2016 ISIS Leniency Letter:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Omar wrote a letter to a federal judge seeking a more\u00a0<\/span>lenient sentence<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0for a Minneapolis man convicted of plotting to join ISIS.<\/span>\u00a0She argued for a \u201crestorative approach to justice,\u201d suggesting the men were victims of\u00a0<\/p>\n 2017\u00a0Time<\/em>\u00a0Magazine Column:<\/strong>\u00a0Omar suggested that America\u2019s focus on\u00a0\u201cinternational terror\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0was a distraction intended to avoid facing its own history rooted in\u00a0<\/p>\n Following President Trump\u2019s tweet of Omar\u2019s \u201csome people did something\u201d quote spliced with 9\/11 footage, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats accused the President of\u00a0<\/p>\n Shapiro dismissed this accusation, arguing that quoting her own words was\u00a0accountability, not incitement<\/strong>. He then used this to highlight a perceived double standard, pointing out that:<\/p>\n The Democratic party often defends Omar when she makes\u00a0anti-Semitic statements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is hypocritical to claim that criticism of Omar is \u201cviolent incitement\u201d while arguing that her own controversial and offensive statements (which he characterized as \u201cJew-hating\u201d) are\u00a0<\/p>\n In Shapiro\u2019s view, the Democratic Party was using the charge of \u201cincitement\u201d solely as a political tactic to defend Omar from negative press and avoid addressing the substance of her remarks.<\/p>\n Patricia Crowley was an actress who was best known for her roles in the TV series \u201cDynasty\u201d and the 1960s sitcom \u201cPlease Don\u2019t Eat the Daisies,\u201d but she has also acted in numerous other TV shows and movies including \u201cHawaii 5-0,\u201d \u201cColumbo,\u201d \u201cGenerations,\u201d \u201cPort Charles,\u201d and \u201cThe Bold and the Beautiful.\u201d She also received the Golden Globe new star award in 1954 for her roles in\u00a0\u201cForever Female\u201d and \u201cMoney From Home.\u201d<\/p>\n The New York Post reports that on Sunday September 14, 2025, just two days before her 92nd birthday, Crowley died of natural causes in Los Angeles. Her son,\u00a0Jon Hookstratten, who serves as the executive VP of administration and operations for Sony Pictures Entertainment, announced the sad news of his mom\u2019s death.<\/p>\n Crowley is survived by her husband,\u00a0Andy Friendly. They had been married since 1986, but that wasn\u2019t her first marriage. She was previously married to\u00a0Ed Hookstratten. The couple had two children together,\u00a0Jon and Ann Hookstratten Osher.<\/p>\n Crowley\u2019s acting career began when she followed her sister,singer Ann Crowley, to New York City, where she landed a role\u00a0in the chorus of \u201cOklahoma!\u201d on Broadway. While attending the High School of Performing Arts, she stared as the lead\u00a0in the Broadway show \u201cSouthern Exposure.\u201d Then she went on to land a role in\u00a0a live episode of CBS\u2019\u00a0\u201cThe Ford Theatre Hour\u201d\u00a0opposite Jack Lemmon and Jack Albertson.<\/p>\n While Crowley has acted in numerous TV shows and movies in her long career, it has been awhile since she has been seen on screen. Her last onscreen role was in the\u00a02012 in the film \u201cMont Reve.\u201d<\/p>\n Crowley is survived by her husband, her children, five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n Watch the video below to see Crowley perform with Dean Martin on The Dean Martin Show in 1970.<\/p>\n The final chapter of Liam Deane\u2019s life is cloaked in shadows\u2014rumors, unanswered questions, and eerie coincidences that refuse to fade.<\/p>\n Behind prison walls, whispers circulate that his death was no random outbreak of inmate violence, but the culmination of a silent code: a ruthless, unspoken pact among prisoners to exact vengeance on those guilty of crimes against children.<\/p>\n Others suspect something darker\u2014a calculated act, perhaps even tacitly permitted by the very system meant to keep order. What truly transpired in those dim corridors may never fully come to light.<\/p>\n Liam Deane, just 22, from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, was convicted of a crime so harrowing it shook his community to its core: the murder of his newborn daughter, Luna, who was barely two days old.<\/p>\n The grim trial exposed a horrific, unprovoked act of violence against an innocent soul, leaving the public reeling. The raw details ignited fierce debates on the perils of unchecked rage, the vulnerability of infants in fragile homes, and the heartbreaking fallout when emotional turmoil spirals out of control.<\/p>\n Weeks after sentencing, Deane\u2019s life was abruptly ended by another inmate in an act many viewed as prison justice\u2014a brutal reminder of the deadly consequences awaiting those branded with such offenses behind bars.<\/p>\n The echoes of this tragedy linger deeply\u2014not only in the minds of law enforcement, medical teams, and legal officials, but also within the hearts of the wider Wakefield community who watched the nightmare unfold. It stands as a stark testament to how swiftly innocence can be shattered, and how quickly vengeance can claim a life.<\/p>\n For the people affected, the intertwined fates of baby Luna and her father symbolize a profound and painful reckoning. Their story calls urgently for reflection on mental health support, the management of destructive emotions, and the critical need for stronger safety nets for vulnerable new parents under psychological strain.<\/p>\n Closing Reflection<\/p>\n From this and other stories, a clear and troubling pattern emerges: when emotional fragility, unchecked fury, or entrenched conflict collide with crisis, lives can unravel in devastating ways. Whether within close-knit communities, fractured families, or behind prison bars, the message is urgent\u2014prevention is vital. We need better mental health resources, open dialogue, and protective systems focused on those most at risk. These tragedies leave behind more than sorrow\u2014they leave pressing questions and crucial lessons that demand action before history repeats its darkest chapters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ben Shapiro\u2019s argument, as presented in the clip, focused on three key areas of criticism against Omar: her past statements, her general attitude towards terrorism, and the perceived \u201cdouble standard\u201d from the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
