Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is sharing his concerns about the “media morons” he claims are distorting the truth about American safety.
Bongino, who stepped down from his position earlier this month after serving in his role for less than a year, went on a tangent about the media while being interviewed by Fox News on Thursday, accusing the media of having a double standard when it comes to reporting on public safety.
The topic came up while discussing a recent report from Axios, claiming that according to the Council on Criminal Justice, the U.S. murder rate has reached its lowest level since 1900.
However, Fox News claimed that violent crime was already falling to a two-decade low during former President Joe Biden’s final year in office.
“Well, there’s a thousand excuses as to why President Trump and his administration didn’t do it,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “Meanwhile, I lived it. I know what we did and didn’t do for these (expletive).”
Bongino then cited a New York Times article, which included interviews with several current and former employees who accused Director of the FBI Kash Patel of making America less safe.
“Do you dipwads even read your own headlines?” Bongino said. “Are you that stupid?
“These are these media morons — people who’ve never spent a day wearing a badge. Never kicked in a door. Never arrested some child predator or some bank robber or some gang member. These morons don’t know anything about the safety status of the country," Bongino said.
Bongino said the media is a “big, full diaper,” adding that he is “tired of these idiots.”
“What freaking country are these morons living in?” Bongino asked. “I mean, what are they looking at? Are they missing this stuff? These are not small items. That isn’t even — forget — I haven’t even gotten to Maduro being out of power, the Cuban leadership’s crapping their pants, we may acquire portions of Greenland."
Hannity then commented by saying that the “real Dan Bongino is back,” observing he was more restrained when he held a government title.
“We’ve been friends for a long time,” Hannity said. “I kind of like the real Dan being back, unfiltered.”
