yahoo news | Dan Bongino descends into online 'crash out' after being shamed in public by undefined

Former FBI Deputy Director **Dan Bongino** became the target of widespread online mockery on Monday after he repeatedly posted and shared dozens of social‑media messages ridiculing a small group that had confronted him over the weekend about his handling of the FBI’s investigation into **Jeffrey Epstein**. During a public event on Saturday, three individuals—including prominent “stop‑the‑steal” activist **Ivan Raiklin**—accosted Bongino, shouted a homophobic slur at him and called him a “protector” of people associated with Epstein. In response, Bongino flooded his X (formerly Twitter) account with at least 35 posts, many of them altered AI‑generated images that dressed the trio in pink dresses, women’s fitness apparel, or tight black‑leather fetish wear.

The posts quickly drew criticism from other self‑described MAGA supporters. One user, “SeverianoNessus,” wrote that the trio “called out Dan Bongino for all of his lies … and Dan of course had a crash out over it,” while another, “SmithGreg1983,” mocked the former official for “crashing out so hard with his reposts.” A third commentator, “Janet,” expressed a mix of schadenfreude and pity, saying Bongino looked “deflated and sick” when confronted and that he should have known “what he was getting into when he accepted the position at the FBI.”

Bongino’s online backlash reflects broader anger among MAGA supporters after his resignation from the FBI earlier this year. Although he once promoted conspiracy theories about Epstein, he later signed a memo concluding that Epstein’s death was a suicide and that no evidence existed to prosecute alleged co‑conspirators. The episode adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding Epstein’s case and the political fallout for figures like Bongino who were once tied to the investigation.
