MSNBC's Hayes Blasts 'Conspiracy Theorist' Shapiro's Iran Criticism

"The conspiracy theorists who broke the story about President Obama hugging his radical professor are comparing President Obama’s diplomacy to appeasing the Nazis."

On Monday evening, MSNBC host Chris Hayes, who has been touting President Obama’s disastrous Iran deal, cited TruthRevolt Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro’s criticism of the deal while labeling Shapiro a “conspiracy theorist”:

Over at Breitbart, the conspiracy theorists who broke the story about President Obama hugging his radical professor [video of Shapiro saying “this is a clean bust”] are comparing President Obama’s diplomacy to appeasing the Nazis.

Hayes neglects to mention what exactly was conspiratorial about reporting that President Obama was close with radical professor Derrick Bell during his Harvard Law School days.

Hayes’ entire segment seems to be cribbed from a Media Matters report on conservative reaction to the Iran deal. As to the comparison to Neville Chamberlain’s Munich Agreement of 1938, in which the west appeased Hitler by granting him the right to annex the Sudetenland, that comparison has now been made by figures ranging from Shapiro to Fox News’ Charles Krauthammer to the Wall Street Journal’s Bret Stephens – and for good reason.
