He has lost two sponsors since he made the controversial comments.
Right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro is being criticised for comments he made at the annual March for Life anti-abortion rally in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
The well-known radio host had this to say at the event:
“And the truth is that no pro-life person on earth would kill baby Hitler, because baby Hitler wasn’t Hitler, adult Hitler was Hitler. Baby Hitler was a baby.
“What you presumably want to do with baby Hitler is take baby Hitler out of baby Hitler’s house and move baby Hitler into a better house where he would not grow up to be Hitler, right? That’s the idea.”

The hashtag #BabyHitler began trending on Twitter not long after the comments on Friday afternoon, with many people criticising Shapiro’s comments.
Since then, a number of Shapiro’s podcasts sponsors, have disassociated themselves with the 25-year-old.
Calm, a relaxation and meditation app, are the second company to remove their sponsorship since Shapiro’s comments.
Speaking to The Hill, they said: “We do not align with this message. We’re pulling our sponsorship.”
