Conservative heavyweight Ben Shapiro is brushing off the latest media-fueled panic about cracks in the MAGA movement, insisting talk of a Republican collapse over Iran is wildly overblown.

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Shapiro took direct aim at critics like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, who have publicly attacked Donald Trump over the ongoing Iran conflict.

Despite breathless speculation from the press, Shapiro made clear he sees no real threat to Republican unity.

“I don’t think it’s a major issue for the Republican base,” he said flatly, defending Trump’s aggressive pushback against dissenters. “I think the president is exactly right to call this out for what it is, which is people who have fringe audiences — large numbers, but fringe audiences in terms of the broader overall Republican audiences.”

That blunt assessment comes as Trump himself unloaded on his former allies, branding them “NUT JOBS” with “Low IQs” in a fiery social media broadside that also targeted figures like Alex Jones and Candace Owens.

But according to Shapiro, the numbers tell the real story—and it’s one of overwhelming loyalty to Trump.

“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,” he noted, pointing to data he says undercuts the narrative of a fractured base.

He doubled down by citing a survey from J.L. Partners showing just 6% of Republicans siding with Carlson and Kelly on foreign policy.

For Shapiro, the idea that media personalities could derail Republican momentum heading into the midterms isn’t just unlikely—it’s absurd.

“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,” he said. “And the attempt to turn this into a referendum on the midterm elections, number one, ignores the fact there are a lot of other factors in midterm elections and number two, we’ll go through about a thousands news cycles between now and November when the election actually takes place.”

Meanwhile, Trump’s critics have only intensified their rhetoric.

Carlson blasted the conflict as “absolutely disgusting and evil,” arguing it is being “waged” solely for Israel’s benefit. Kelly echoed that frustration, calling the military effort “Israel’s war” and suggesting figures like Shapiro and Mark Levin were among its most enthusiastic backers.

She also took a swipe at Trump’s recent ceasefire arrangement, warning it sounded “very much like surrender.”

Still, if Shapiro’s read is correct, the Republican base isn’t buying the rebellion narrative—and Trump remains firmly in command of his party as the political calendar marches toward November.
