On Thursday, a former U.S. Secret Service agent who is running for a House seat and has written a book about his life in the Service cancelled his prescheduled appearance on MSNBC's Bashir Live because of Martin Bashir's suggestion that someone should defecate and urinate in former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's mouth.
Dan Bongino, who was a Secret Service agent under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, told Breitbart News that his appearance to speak on Bashir's program about his book, Life Inside the Bubble, "was booked in advance of his unfortunate comments," and he could not in good faith appear on the program.
"In light of these comments I felt it only appropriate to cancel my appearance on the show. Governor Palin took a principled chance on me during my U.S. Senate campaign when few would," Bongino told Breitbart News. "She put herself out there for me, risking her political capital, and chose to endorse me because she believed in me.
"In a political arena filled with bad actors it was refreshing to know that Governor Palin was willing to fight for the underdog. She deserves better than the treatment she received by Mr. Bashir and I cannot, in good faith, appear on the show, regardless of the number of books it may or may not sell."

Now THIS man symbolizes integrity God bless him he has my full support as well
Thanks for posting this number. It doesn't hurt to try.
Thanks for the ping! Good for Bongino!!
He was on the Mark Levin show yesterday. I loved him. Little by little we are putting people in place that loves our country and respect the US Constitution.
Thank you for telling me! I’ll be sure to listen to Mark’s rewinde today!
Thank you, dearest Jane Long.
I’d just cut to the chase, be completely non-partisan and thoroughly objective about this and fire MSNBC.
Trying to cull a herd that’s got Hoof and Mouth is a waste of time. You just drive ‘em all off into a ditch, then burn and bury the carcasses.
Thanks onyx.
MSNBC clearly doesn’t need to make money, but it can’t keep having this happen. And NBC had Sarah cancel an interview with Lauer, a rebuff which *will* leave a mark.
Roger that. Even numbskulls get the message sometimes.
You’re right.
I’m so happy she canceled her interview with that horrid Matt Lauer!
It would be funny if it wasn't pathetic.
Dear MSNBC:
What are you people, five?
Maybe the giant douche-nozzle known as Martin Bashir should be cancelled by MSNBC. Then he can go pick his nose in a rubber room.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Principle and honor exist and will win the day. GOD’S Speed Mr Bongino!
He’s from Pakistan — which ought tell you something about how he views women, generally ...
Yep. I think we’ll probably purchase his book, too. - Bashir went too far; I think he underestimated the respect real people have for Sarah Palin. What he did from his ivory tower of power was not okay and shows what kind of man he is.
