Conservative commentator Dan Bongino leveled Montel Williams in a social media war of words, ending with an epic “bye now” to punctuate his takedown.
The radio show host and former Secret Service agent took on Williams after he was engaged in a separate exchange with The Bulwark’s “token lib” Molly Jong-Fast who, in her coverage of last week’s CPAC event, mocked conservative radio host John Batchelor who is battling cancer.
Bongino responded to Jong-Fast in several tweets after she came under intense backlash for her comments in a tweet she eventually deleted.
I had to see you get destroyed for poking fun at a cancer victim. You’re a sad, sorry human being and a dope to boot. You didn’t even know who John Batchelor was while being paid to cover a conservative conference. What an imbecile!

He called her out as an “imbecile” in the back and forth that led to a comment from Williams.
Imbecile ?? https://t.co/e5kCKXUGNy

The former television talk show host set himself up for a losing battle, although Jong-Fast and other clueless liberals cheered him on.
Dear Dan: such a tough guy you are that you even blocked my publicist ??.

Bongino replied simply – at first.

But Williams pressed on, boldly stepping off the precipice as he delivered a bewildering attack on Bongino.
Let’s not get this twisted, Dan – you were a so-so secret service agent who has gone carpet bagging around the country trying to run for Congress and failing. You are now the token black guy who yells and screams stupid shit on Fox to please the master like a minstrel.

Jong-Fast applauded the tweet, apparently missing the absurdity of Williams slamming the former Secret Service agent as “the token black guy” on Fox News.
Bongino, no doubt echoing the thoughts of many, asked if the 62-year-old former daytime talk show host could “get any dumber” while setting the record straight on some things.
1) I’m not black, I’m Italian. Seriously, can you get any dumber?
2) You’re not even a “has been” you’re a “never was.” Attacking my work in the Secret Service is disgraceful, even for you. I’ll wait for your apology. ?? pic.twitter.com/uT3L7d7HFZ— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) March 3, 2019
The 44-year-old former member of the New York City Police Department shared his “outstanding” score from a Secret Service performance review, calling Williams out as a “never was.”
True – I have a degree in engineering from the Naval Academy (you don’t), have a bunch of Emmy awards from my show (you have zero), and I earn more in a week than you will this year. I’m winning. @MollyJongFast

Williams could not leave well enough alone and mocked Bongino as a “touch” guy in need of a safe space.
You’ll be waiting some time then. Would you like a blanket while you wait in your safe space since you’re such a touch guy?
— Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) March 3, 2019
Bongino finished him off.
You’re embarrassed. But you’re probably used to that. After all, you are Montel Williams. And no, you can’t come on my show. Bye now.
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) March 3, 2019
Williams did not apologize or remove his tweet calling Bongino a “token black guy,” but only doubled down on his campaign of insult and bullying.
Dan: I GET MORE OUT OF WALKING MY DOG ON PERISCOPE THAN I WOULD ON YOUR SHOW. SO I DONT CARE. AGAIN THERE IS NO PROFESSIONAL METRIC IN WHICH YOU CAN COMPETE WITH ME.
— Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) March 3, 2019
But many Twitter users gave Bongino a virtual standing ovation.
Since it’s Montel’s thing to tweet a bunch of obnoxious bullshit and then delete everything, I saved this tweet for when he deletes it, where he just called @dbongino a “token black guy”. pic.twitter.com/mnaCKul7CF

For the record Montel Williams just called @dbongino a “token black guy” for defending cancer suffering John Batchelor against childish snark. Class act https://t.co/0eyPdzUlWi

Ha! Monty, have you taken inventory of your career lately?! I think you are living in the past
— FairnessMatters’18 (@Jakejory) March 4, 2019
It’s about being a decent human. Montel, you obviously have many accomplishments and I’m thankful for your service but, what happened to you? You’re so bitter.

@dbongino don’t worry about someone so irrelevant as @Montel_Williams . He tries to use you to acquire relevancy. #MAGA
