Ben Shapiro has announced that his conservative outlet, the Daily Wire, cut 13 percent of staff this year.
Shapiro called the layoffs “truly sad” in a video released on social media Friday.
After a report about the layoffs came out Thursday, Shapiro admitted, “It’s true.”
“The Daily Wire laid off some 13 percent of our workforce since the beginning of the year. And that really sucked. It was truly sad because all those people are great,” he said.
The Daily Wire was co-founded by Shapiro in 2015. The outlet describes itself as “opinionated” and “noisy.”
The Independent has reached out to the Daily Wire for comment.
