Trump FBI pick Dan Bongino gets cold reception from his MAGA fans after leaving admin
Dan Bongino, the Trump FBI official who recently left the administration, got a chilly reception from his own fans, who accused him of posting like a "tween girl" and refusing to see the concerns of the common man.
Bongino made headlines when the administration announced noted child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein had killed himself and didn't lead a criminal ring of pedophiles, despite the fact that Bongino was helping lead the FBI and had personally promoted conspiracy theories about Epstein. Recently, he announced his departure from the law enforcement agency.
On Saturday, Bongino took to X, where he attacked fellow conservatives, writing, "Genuinely comical watching bad comedians and black-pillers flex, and then go live, and no one shows up."
"A microphone and a camera are only powerful if there are ears and eyes to hear and see on the other end," the ex-official added. "Friends don’t let friends fall for bullshit digital astroturfing chumps. Have a great weekend!"
It appears that Bongino was referencing libertarian comedian Dave Smith. According to Redacted, Smith "just eviscerated after Bongino threatened to go after people who question the administration on Epstein and more."
"Funny how questioning power was fine when he did it, but now it's off-limits," the news source wrote.
Fellow MAGA allies were quick to dismiss Bongino and his post-administration behavior.
Robert P. Murphy, a Christian economist, replied directly to Bongino, writing, "
