For the past two weeks, the Trump administration has been slammed for a supposedly tepid response to anti-Semitic attacks on cemeteries and threats to

Jewish community centers. Trump himself was smashed over and over for suggesting that the threats might be coming from left-wing provocateurs attempting to cast a shadow on his administration.

He was widely mocked for such an assertion. Pretty much everyone on the left assumed that the JCC threats had to be coming from Trump

supporters, including The Intercept, a left-wing publication that headline just two days ago.

Trump can't accept his allies are targeting Jews, so he blames his opponents.

And now it turns out that the culprit, at one point, worked for the Intercept.

On Friday, a Missouri man named Duan Thompson was arrested for making

multiple threats to JCC's across the country in order to harass his ex-girlfriend. Thompson

is suspected of being a copycat of hearing about the JCC phone calls and then conducting

his own campaign of phone terrorism. According to the FBI, Thompson dated a Jewish woman. After

their relationship ended, he sent defamatory emails and faxes to her employer. He then stalked her. After that, he made, quote, at least eight JCC threats nationwide as part of his campaign against his ex-girlfriend. He then tried to blame the woman in order to have her prosecuted. He tweeted, quote, no any good lawyers need to stop this nasty racist, hashtag white girl I I dated who sent a bomb threat in my name

and wants me to be raped in jail, unquote. So here's what we know about Thompson. He's a left-wing

reporter who made up material while working at the Intercept. He was fired in February

2016 for fabricating quotes in his stories and creating, quote, fake email accounts that he used

to impersonate people, one of which was a Gmail account in the name of the editor-in-chief of the publication.

He says he voted for Bernie Sanders. Thompson, who is black, tweeted just two weeks ago that Trump was attempting to, quote, remove black people from the south side of Chicago. Naturally, folks on the right are triumphantly pointing out the irony. The guy behind the JCC threats isn't a Trump backer, but a left-wing fake news guy who hates Trump, who for weeks the left stated, when for weeks left-stated, this had to be an outgrowth of Trumpian anti-Semitism. But let's be fair for a second. The guy sounds like a complete nut job, not just a left-wing or gone to ride. According to the FBI, this was all designed to act out some sort of personal vendetta against an old girlfriend who was Jewish. The Jews were only involved insofar as they could be used as a tool against her. It doesn't make the guy's contact any less egregious or anti-Semitic, but it doesn't really seem to connect to an ideology so much as a desire to hurt somebody he knew by using anti-Semitism. Furthermore, there's still another suspect out there. Dozens of JCCs have been called, and this terrorist was a copycat.

But, but, this is evidence that while the left-wing media constantly accuses the right of jumping to conclusions about terrorism and ignoring right-wing terror involvement,

the left has a major blind spot for its own extremists.

And you just know that Trump's Twitter feed this morning will be totally epic. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro show. Okay, so we'll talk a little bit more about that story. I also want to talk about these Yemen raids and what we know about them and why exactly it's ridiculous the way that the Democrats are treating this whole thing. But first, I want to say thank you to our advertisers over at zeal.com, Z-E-E-E-L.com. So I first have to tell you a story about Zeal that actually happened the past week. So my sister, who lives in a major East Coast City, she was having serious... She woke up in the morning. She was having serious neck trouble, like so much so that she was basically on the verge of tears. and just really excruciating. So she called my parents, and my parents were very sweet. They immediately went to zeal.com, and they booked her a masseuse for that same day. The masseuse came over and fixed her right up. She was as good as new as soon as the masseuse left. That's what Zeal.com does for you. They have five-star top-quality massage, and it comes to your house. It's not very expensive,

and you can schedule it, and they come directly to you. They bring the table, they bring the, they bring the sense, they bring the masseuse, they bring it directly to you, zeal.com. And if you love a good massage, we don't have time to schedule it at the spa, and you don't want to wait for two weeks and you just want it right now,

then you need to go to zeal.com.

They cost on average 20 to 50% less
