Tur and Shapiro were slated as guests to discuss the controversy surrounding Caitlyn Jenner receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. During a heated back-and-forth on the topic of genetics and trangenderism, Shapiro referred to Tur, who is transgender, as “Sir.”
This struck a nerve for Tur, who then placed a hand on Shapiro’s neck and said, “You cut that out now, or you’ll go home in an ambulance.”
