Newsmax said that Ben Shapiro is a "black conservative".

The far-right network Newsmax struggled to come up with a list of Black conservatives Wednesday during a report about Black conservatives.

The list of those included were former Sheriff David Clarke, Herman Cain, Ben Shapiro and Ben Carson. Herman Cain died in 2020 of COVID-19 and Ben Shapiro is white.

Host Greg Kelly explained away Shapiro by saying, "Of course, Ben Shapiro, not Black but one of the heroes of the movement."
