Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said Wednesday it was “deeply irresponsible” for President Donald Trump to falsely and prematurely claim a re-election victory.
“No, Trump has not already won the election, and it is deeply irresponsible for him to say he has,” Shapiro tweeted early Wednesday morning as votes were still being counted in a handful of crucial swing states.
As of Wednesday late morning, the race between incumbent Republican Trump and Democratic nominee Biden was still too close to call.
Shapiro trended on Twitter as conservatives criticized him and some on the left indicated they couldn’t even believe they were agreeing with him.
