Ben Shapiro: Trump ‘deeply irresponsible’ to say he’s won
Jewish conservative icon Ben Shapiro broke ranks with the Trump administration in a tweet Wednesday morning, calling the president’s claim of an early electoral victory “deeply irresponsible.”
No, Trump has not already won the election, and it is deeply irresponsible for him to say he has.

Shapiro, a right-wing pundit and radio host had announced that he would be voting for the president’s re-election last month.
Despite not voting for him in 2016, Shapiro has largely backed the president throughout his administration.
