Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has responded to accusations by Andrew Tate that he has ‘short man syndrome’, saying he has a different “version of masculinity”.

Andrew Tate on Piers Morgan Uncensored alleged Ben Shapiro was a ‘warmonger’ and had ‘short man syndrome’ because he was ‘always calling for other people’s men to go and die in some way’.

“I’m not sure what to make of that,” Mr Shapiro told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

“I mean, I guess that you know, if your version of manhood is walking around shirtless smoking cigars in Romania, then I guess you can have that – that’s ok.

“Sure, my version of masculinity is a little bit different – it’s being married with four children and raising a family in a solid community, but I guess to each his own.”
