Ben Shapiro appears to forget Trump is a Republican during rant about Obama

I don't follow this man but I have seen a few things he has said. I would presume he either forgot that Trump is a Republican or he felt Trump was not a MAJOR Republican at the time. There was some doubt among the electorate whether Trump was really a Democrat or Republican. He has claimed to be both over time. There is nothing wrong with changing party affiliation in and of itself but it did lend some confusion about where he really stood

Thank you for the morning chuckle.

I think on the merits Shipiro is correct. It wasn't the Republican Congress openly challenging Obama's Presidency it was Trump as a fringe politician at the time and to my knowledge his political affiliation at the time of the birtherism comments was still open to question he did not claim to be Republican until he officially filed for his campaign. When he did that it was another controversy, was Trump really a Republican or just claiming to be one in order to run on the Republican ticket. So there is a big difference here. Trump could be largely ignored by Obama while in office. Democratic Congress with all the BS about impeachment and lawsuits, etc is actually impeding the ability of the Trump administration to get things done and in a way is openly subverting and undermining a free and fair election that took place. Which won't really matter one way or another after 2020 election.
