BREAKING: Trump just named biased and hyper-partisan Dan Bongino as the Deputy Director of the FBI.

Bongino has faced accusations of profiting off fear and outrage by selling merchandise, survivalist gear, and subscriptions to his shows while railing against “elitist grifters.”

Bongino has frequently been accused of promoting misinformation, particularly regarding:

- The 2020 Election: He has repeatedly pushed the false claim that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was "rigged" or "stolen."
- COVID-19 and Vaccines: Bongino has downplayed the severity of COVID-19 and spread skepticism about vaccines and pandemic-related policies.
- January 6th Insurrection: He has framed the Capitol riot as being exaggerated or manipulated by the media and Democrats to target conservatives.

HORRIBLE PICK for America
