The Spin

Republican narrative

Dan Bongino is a patriotic veteran officer who knows the FBI should fight crime and protect America. After years of reporting on the FBI's rapid decay, culminating in the raid of a former president's home for political reasons, he now has the opportunity to rid the agency of its corrupt agents and restore its original mission of fighting real crime.

Democratic narrative

Bongino is the furthest thing from a nonpartisan actor. Not only has he said his "entire life" is "about owning the libs," but he's called for the outright dissolution of the very agency he's been tapped to help run. He's also made a career out of pushing election and COVID conspiracy theories. Bongino is a professional partisan whose far-right beliefs will now become FBI policy.
