Dan Bongino Screams at ‘Clearly Insane’ Fox News Guest in Nuts Segment: ‘I’m Afraid of Idiots!’

 

Laura Ingraham is off tonight, and decided to hand the reins of her show over to Jesse Watters, who presided over the messiest, loudest, most futile clusterfuck of a debate we’ve seen in a while.

Watters got things off to a sensible start by asking one of his guests, civil rights attorney Leo Terrell, about the latest comments from “Crooked Hillary.”

Terrell replied by taking aim at fellow panelist Dan Bongino: “Dan’s afraid of Donald Trump, and Dan will not admit that Donald Trump has said racist comments the last three years. Isn’t that true Dan?”

“You’re a liar! You’re a liar! You’re lying on this show!” Bongino replied.

“Has Donald Trump said anything racist, Dan?” Terrell pressed.

“No!” Bongino replied confidently. “The answer is no and you’re a liar!”

“Because Muslims are not banned from the United States,” Bongino explained, in apparent reference to Trump’s 2016 pledge to ban Muslims from the United States.

The two proceeded to shout at each other for a while until Watters separated the two and accused Terrell of “divisiveness.”

“Donald Trump is bringing us all together,” said fellow panelist Star Parker, earnestly.

Terrell challenged Bongino and Parker to answer if Trump has ever said anything racist, to which Parker replied: “Actually I’m going to say yes.” She then proceeded to argue that Trump has fixed inner cities.

“You’re an apologist,” Terrell shot back.

Bongino took aim at the Fox News booker who invited Terrell on the show: “Leo is clearly insane, I don’t know how he managed to bypass the booker, this guy’s out of his mind, I’m sorry.”

“There has never been an allegation that Donald Trump was a racist until he ran for president as a Republican,” Bongino said, making for what might be the most ill-informed remark of this entire wretched segment. “Leo is nuts, he’s race-baiting people on this show,” Bongino added, ending the block.

Well, Ingraham’s producers apparently thought that segment was worth bringing back for a second round, this time focused on Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar‘s controversial comments about Israel that have been decried as anti-Semitic.

After Parker brought up Louis Farrakhan‘s support of Omar, Terrell fired back by accusing Parker of resorting to “talking points.”

“Keep quiet for a minute, let her talk!” Bongino cried.

“Dan’s afraid of Trump’s Twitter account,” Terrell said.

“I’m 6’1″, 230 pounds, I’m not afraid of much,” Bongino protested. “And certainly not your garbage!”

“Why does Dan yell?” Terrell asked. “You’re afraid of Trump.”

“I’m afraid of idiots!” Bongino claimed.

“Leo, I think you’d be a little afraid of Dan if you met him face to face,” Watters said.

“He probably would,” Bongino muttered.
