As the Donald Trump campaign continues to fall out of
contention and its candidate continues to act even more erratically, his
surrogates have fallen under increasing pressure to explain away his
words and behavior. Further, when he essentially sold out his campaign
to extremist political site Breitbart this week, it seemed to send a
signal that he was giving up trying to win. That’s left his surrogates
high and dry, perhaps explaining why one of them completely lost his
mind and cursed out a reporter.
This is not the first time we’ve seen distressing behavior from
Donald Trump surrogate and losing Florida congressional candidate Dan
Bognino while on the media circuit. His appearance on CNN two weeks ago
was so embarrassing that host Don Lemon finally
blurted out at him “You should be ashamed of yourself.” But now Bongino’s demeanor while speaking to the media has deteriorated. Rapidly.
After an article in the Naples News pointed out that Dan Bongino was
being severely out-fundraised in his own congressional race and
highlighted the fact that most of Bongino’s money was mysteriously
coming from outside his district. This set him off to the point that for
some reason he got on the phone with a reporter from a different
publication, Marc Caputo of Politico, and ended up cursing him out with
one profane insult after another.
The Politico reporter
had warned
Dan Bongino in advance that the call was being recorded, making it fair
game when the news outlet turned around and posted a recording of
Bongino’s profane meltdown to YouTube for all to hear. You can listen to
