‘A Bunch Of Savages’: Dan Bongino Rips Into Protesters Who Hope Wounded Deputies Will Die

Former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent Dan Bongino made it clear Sunday that he had no patience for protesters who hoped wounded deputies would die.

Bongino joined “Fox & Friends” to discuss two Los Angeles County deputies who were shot in their vehicle, both of whom were reportedly wounded. Following the shooting, protesters blocked the emergency room entrance and exit of the hospital and chanted, “We hope they die.” (RELATED: ‘You Refuted Your Own Point’: Dan Bongino Fires Back At Donna Brazile Over Russian Bounty Reports)

“You have a bunch of savages and that’s what they are,” Bongino began. “Can we just put aside all the nuance for a moment and just be honest? You have savages. They aren’t animals because I have a dog now and my dog knows right and wrong so you have savages that show up at the hospital while the mother of a 6-year-old is fighting for her life for the very act of showing up and protecting your community, is shot and nearly killed, and they’re screaming that we want her dead or whatever kind of savagery?”

Bongino went on to argue that even in a country that values free speech and free expression, there were some ideas that weren’t worth hearing.

“We should hear people out,” he explained, adding, “You know what, you’re not worth hearing. You’re a loser, okay? If your idea is oh, we should hear out, we should give communism another try, you know we should bring racially segregated dorms back, that’s worth hearing. We should bring back the idea of defunding the police, you’re not worth hearing. You’re filth. Your ideas are crap. You’re crap. You’re garbage, and you’re not worth hearing out.”

Bongino concluded that the protesters were lucky that they lived in a country where they had the right to say whatever they wanted, but argued that there was no point in “negotiating” with the protesters.

President Donald Trump also weighed in on the wounded deputies Sunday morning, calling for a swift trial and the death penalty for the shooter if the deputies didn’t make it.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
