“I heard some jackass here on FR call Bongino a liar and a clown earlier this week.”
There’s definitely at least one Bongino hater here. I posted a few pieces of info that DB had received from his pals still in SS. I got replies that Dan is a this, a that, a something else — all of it very derogatory.
As if this poster is more in the know than Dan. Really...
You know, I wouldn’t care if that person came out and said “Dan Bongino is wrong about XYZ, and here is why...”
Everyone is allowed to look at an issue and analyze it on their own and opine on it.
In this case the Freeper in question first called Bongino a clown, an ad hominem attack and nothing more. And then he called him a liar.
People are wrong all the time, at all levels, on important things, but that does not make them “liars”. It makes them “wrong”.
I listen to Dan Bongino nearly every day. And I don’t agree with him on everything. But I respect his opinions, because it is clear to me he thinks them through, and doesn’t blather on and shoot from the hip.
But calling someone a liar when they may be simply wrong is a contemptuous thing, it insinuates intent to mislead, when in Bongino’s case, it was nothing of the sort.
This fat-assed keyboard warrior had his panties in a twist about the early narrative on the George Floyd death, where he said the Secret Service and the NYPD when he was there didn’t authorize or teach that restraining hold, which may or may not be true. But to say Bongino was “lying” when he said that ticked me off.
