A supporter of Donald Trump, who voted for him three times, provoked a fierce reaction from Dan Bongino, formerly of the FBI, following his critique of the president’s government.
Evan Kilgore, who identifies as an “American Nationalist,” posed a question on X this past weekend:

“Who else believes that a potential second Trump Administration is utterly disappointing??”

Bongino, who previously hosted on Fox News and resumed podcasting after his departure from the FBI in January, retaliated.
“Did you ever NOTICE that the same people constantly talking about ‘noticing,’ never seem to notice all of the incredible things happening in the country right now?” he commented, in a quote-tweet of Kilgore’s message.

“It appears they operate with an agenda, one that certainly diverges from your own,” he proceeded. “I am unfamiliar with the deformed hobbit in the quoted post below, apart from stumbling upon his periodic ******** on my feed. Yet, you too have undoubtedly encountered this sort of rubbish on your feeds. It’s disingenuous, I assure you.”
Bongino, identified as a proponent of conspiracy theories, furthermore asserted that “no one expects genuine supporters of the movement to uncritically laud the administration, but facts hold significance.”
He proceeded to enumerate 16 “facts” for “the astroturf doomers who claim everything ‘sucks,’ while doing jack **** to fix anything themselves,” which included points like “now living in the safest United States in modern history” and “Iran’s nuclear threat has been disabled.”
“And this represents merely the initial year of the Trump 47 administration,” he concluded. “Therefore, pardon my language, but a massive F#%* YOU to the astroturf doomer crowd. I’m tired of your ********, I see exactly what you claim to ‘notice’ and not, and so do a posse of others.”
