"Shapiro stated, 'I don't think it's a major issue for the Republican base. I think the president is exactly right to call this out for what it is, which is people who have fringe audiences.'"
"'Multiple polls have shown over the course of the last month and a half that the president has 80-90% support inside the Republican party for his actions in Iran,' Shapiro noted."
"'I think the idea that these folks are going to be able to undermine broad scale support for a war that will reach its terminus sometime in the next couple of months, I think that's insane,' Shapiro added."
"'The attempt to turn this into a referendum on the midterm elections... ignores the fact there are a lot of other factors in midterm elections,' Shapiro explained."
Ben Shapiro dismissed concerns that Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly's criticism of President Trump regarding the Iran war would harm Republicans in the midterm elections. He stated that these commentators have fringe audiences and emphasized Trump's strong support within the Republican party, citing polls showing 80-90% backing for Trump's actions in Iran. Shapiro argued that the notion of these commentators undermining broad support for the war is irrational and noted that many factors will influence the midterm elections, not just this issue.
