On Monday, the supposedly bipartisan women's march tweeted out a happy birthday message to an actual honest to goodness terrorist, Asada Shakur. There's an image of her, and it says it's a drawing of Asada Shakur against a pink and purple background, and above her head are the words, a woman's place is in the struggle. It says, happy birthday to the revolutionary Asada Shakur. Today's sign of resistance in Asada's honor is by Malonius Funk.

The tweet came complete with a picture of Shakur with the slogan is in the struggle pasted at the top. In May 1973, Shakur was wounded in a shootout with state troopers on the New Jersey turnpike. One trooper was killed execution style. She was convicted of the murder and then sentenced to life in prison. She'd also participated in a bunch of bank robberies, apparently.

In 1979, she escaped from prison and then finally fled to Cuba where she has been living. She is still on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist list. There's a $2 million dollar reward on her head. As David French points out at National Review, all told from 1970 to 1984, the BLA, the Black Liberation Army, was responsible for four bombings,

four hijackings, 32 violent armed confrontations in the U.S. 16 of those involved

confrontations with law enforcement officers who were killed. In other words, by every

reasonable contemporary definition of terrorism, Shakur was a violent terrorist who belonged to a

violent terrorist organization. Now, Shakur has become a hero to leftist

because she rejects the morality of Western civilization.

She was a member of that Black Liberation Army,

a more violent splinter from the Black Panther Party.

In Cuba, she wrote a trite autobiography

in which she made claims like this.

Quote, they call us bandits.

Yet every time most black people pick up our paychecks,

we are being robbed.

Every time we walk into a store in our neighborhood, we are being held up, and every time we pay our rent, the landlord sticks a gun into our ribs. The rulers of this country and their flunkies have committed some of the most brutal, vicious crimes in history. They are the bandits. They are the murderers, and they should be treated as such. This is pretty vile stuff, but it's cheered by the far left, brought up on Howard's Inn and trained to see America as the enemy. No wonder Linda Sarsour is welcomed with open arms by the Women's March. By the way, the Women's March has now written a full explanation of their happy birthday message. It is not helpful. They tweeted, Women's March is a nonviolent movement. We have never and will never use violence to achieve our goals. The far right is threatened by our movement and by our solidarity with other movements. Our power, your success, scares the far right. They continue to try to divide us. Today's attacks on Asada Shakur, the latest example. Here's a brief refresher on who Asada Shakur is and why we consider her a feminist figure. Asada Shakur is a civil rights leader who used her leadership position to challenge sexism within the black liberation movement.

Her resistance tactics were different from ours.

That does not mean that we do not respect her anti-sexism work.

I look forward to the Women's March defending Osama bin Laden on anti-Islamophobia grounds.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All righty.

So, everything is awful.
