Benny Johnson (1987–) is an American neoconservative commentator. He formerly worked for Buzzfeed until he was exposed for plagiarism, and now works for Turning Point USA. Johnson is infamous for his douchy persona and self centered arrogance.
Much like his other fellow neoconservative pundits such as Steven Crowder and Will Witt, his content is only meant as partisan click-baiting meant to generate outrage. One example of this is his god awful Parler series, The Left Can't Meme, which is nothing but Johnson reacting to memes mocking liberals. Ironically, the series shows how the right can't meme and how repetitive they are, such as overusing the screaming lib meme.[2][3][4]
Gay cruise[edit]
Perhaps one of Johnson's most infamous and hilarious moments was when he complained about getting a gay cruise as (not realizing that it was an Adsense ad).[5]
Intolerance[edit]
On June, Johnson was whining about how corporations (in this case chick fila) are "woke" because they used D.E.I.'s (which they use to appeal to sell their products to minorities rather than actually caring about minorities), and that "tolerance is not a christian virtue".[6]
The Left Can't Meme[edit]
Another of Johnson's highlights is the awful Parler show "The Left can't meme". The show is basically the most generic and stale memes that rightwingers would come up with. This includes screaming angry libs, Elon Musk, Trump, and anything that would be MAGA ass-kissing.
Stopped Clock[edit]
At the very least, Johnson has disavowed and condemned white supremacist commentator Nick Fuentes. However, Johnson still tried to paint Fuentes as a leftist.[7]
