According to the show’s description, “Dan Bongino exposes bias in the media and lies pushed by politicians and the left.” During his show on Saturday, Bongino — a former NYPD police officer and former member of the Secret Service — aired a segment focusing on his analysis of Democrat influence on how cities are governed. “Inner cities run exclusively and monopolistically by garbage Democrat politicians,” Bongino said during his show, “who don’t give a damn about people. They’re the ones who ran these economies in these inner cities into the ground” (via The Daily Beast). While mayoral offices are actually positions that need to be voted on, and not bought, it’s hard to understand the argument that Democrats are “monopolizing.” Regardless, Bongino believes Democrat mayors are also the reason so many major cities are ranked as the “unhealthiest” places to live.
The only problem is, the graphic he was using as his source was showing the healthiest cities in the U.S. to live, not the unhealthiest. In a split-screen, viewers saw Bongino speaking on one side and a map with major cities pointed out in it. Underneath, the chyron read: “Dems create problems while promising to fix them.”
