Dan Bongino, who announced a podcast after leaving his role as deputy FBI director, responded to online accusations that he is a “traitor” who received $6 million from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. That’s not “even remotely true,” he said.

When one exposes the liberal agenda, the “demon savages” scream back about the Jews, he wrote.

“Of course, none of what’s included below in this pile of human waste’s post is even remotely true,” he said. “Demon savages are so moronic they don’t realize campaign finance records are public.”

Luc Jasmin III, who has drawn endorsements from CAIR and the governor of Washington, trailed 211 votes behind Natalie Poulson, the Republican.
No injuries were reported. Separately, Israeli soldiers shot dead two terrorists who posed a threat.
“Vandalizing the World War II Memorial is an outrageous insult to all who served and Holocaust survivors, as well as all Americans and the values for which our country stands,” Sara J. Bloomfield, director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, told JNS.
“We will keep litigating until we get to the truth,” Randy Mastro told JNS, after oral arguments in New York County Supreme Court. “I’m sure the court will hear us when these procedural issues are behind us.”
