Dan Bongino, a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent, transitioned from a supporter of President Obama to a leading conservative voice after entering politics. Initially praising Obama, Bongino evolved his stance during his political career, notably appearing on Infowars and promoting controversial views, including conspiracy theories about crises. He launched his podcast in 2015, establishing himself as a prominent figure in conservative media, while his previous praise for Obama contrasts sharply with his current persona.
"The president was a wonderful guy," Bongino said of Obama in 2011. "From what I saw he was a wonderful father and a wonderful man and he was very, very nice and very kind to me."
During one of his Infowars appearances, Bongino boosted the conspiracy theory that CIA agents were told to stand down during the terrorist attacks on the US Special Mission and Annex in Benghazi, Libya.
Bongino replied that Democrats aren't crisis managers but are instead 'crisis leveraging [and] using a national emotional crisis to get you to believe things that simply aren't true.'
A decade later Jones would be ordered by a court to liquidate his assets to pay the families of the victims of the shooting $1.5 billion.
