Bongino served full -time in the NYPD from 1997 to 1999 before joining the secret services.
He left in 2011 to pursue a political career, presenting himself to the Senate as a republican in Maryland in 2012. At the time, his opinion on his former employer was still very positive.
“The president was a wonderful guy,” said Bongino about Obama in 2011. “From what I saw, he was a wonderful father and a wonderful man and he was very, very nice and very nice with me.” In a memory published in 2013, Bongino added that Obama was “one of the groups of men for whom I would have had a pleasure to sacrifice my life”.
Aptly at the same time, however, Bongino began to take his first steps on a path that would ultimately lead him to become one of the largest podcasters in the United States.
In 2013, he appeared on Infowars, where he spoke to Alex Jones then recent in the Sandy Hook primary school. After Jones said that it is “so exaggerated to what extent the Democrats have become authoritarian”, with regard to the shots of the response school, Bongino replied that the Democrats are not [and] Use a national emotional crisis to make you believe things that are simply not true. »»
A decade later, Jones would be ordered by a court to liquidate his assets to pay the families of the victims of the $ 1.5 billion shooting.
Bongino made several appearances on Jones Show in the perspective of his second inclination of the failed congress in 2014, which this time lost against the outgoing Democratic representative John Delaney in the 6th district of the Maryland Congress.
During one of his infowar appearances, Bongino stimulated conspiracy theory that CIA agents were invited to withdraw during terrorist attacks against the Special American Mission and annex to Benghazi, Libya.
Bongino started his own podcast, Dan Bongino’s showIn 2015, and a year later made his third attempt to win a siege at the Congress, this time in the 19th Congress district in Florida. Just a week before the vote, Bongino was registered with a merger by speaking to a politico journalist, whom he called “A real piece of disgusting shit. “”
In 2018, Bongino received his own 30 -minute show on the National Rifle Association station, Nratv. Bongino used his program to permanently hammer the work carried out by a special lawyer – and the former director of the FBI – Robert Mueller, who was investigating Trump and allegations that Russia interfered with the 2016 elections.
Bongino pushed the conspiracy theory that the Trump campaign was spied on, a situation he nicknamed “Spygate” and called “the greatest scandal in American history”.
During a program, discussing the perspective against the appointment of the Brett Supreme Court Kavanaugh, Bongino said: “My whole life is at the moment is to have Libs. That’s it. Libs… have been shown through this abomination of Kavanaugh of a process like a pure unnecessary bad. »»
His solid defense of Trump drew the attention of Fox producers, who reserved him hundreds of times during this period, and it seems that at this stage, Trump took note of Bongino.
