No, he did not, stupid.
He spread a claim. That's not a lie.
"One of the most prominent backers of that claim..."
"Backing" a claim, in and of itself, is not a "lie", per se.
"I was paid in the past, Sean, for my OPINIONS..."
Opinions, you stupid fuck, are not lies, unless you KNOW the information
you're divulging is, in fact, not true.
Did he KNOW either way?
How do YOU know, either way?
You don't.
Bongino was expressing an OPINION. I guess we shouldn't expect anything less
from a liberal, who treats all Conservative OPINIONS as lies, while NOT doing
the same with theirs.
"Some liberal critics have been braying for years that the conservative press
is full of hacks who will say anything in order to froth up their audience,
regardless of truth."
What fucking hypocritical shit THAT is.
Faggocrite loses again.
Most conservative critics have been braying for years that the OVERWHELMINGLY
LIBERAL press is full of hacks who will say anything in order to froth up
their audience, regardless of truth.
Braying? The truth, is that the liberal press lies every second of every day,
and to deflect THAT truth away from themselves, is to accuse the opposition of
doing the same.
There is no comparison. The press is overwhelmingly left-wing liberal, so the
vast majority of lying is coming from the left.
"And yet, here Bongino is, blithely admitting that in his case, the critics
are right: He was saying things he didn't have evidence for and maybe didn't
even believe."
See? Even The Shatlantic doesn't even know if Bongino KNEW, so YOU don't know
either, faggot.
Piss off, TDS sufferer.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
