Dan Bongino Returns to X by Trading Brutal Insults with Ex-Lawmaker Matt Gaetz

Dan Bongino and Matt Gaetz traded insults on X after Gaetz used the AI chatbot Grok to highlight Bongino's three failed congressional campaigns, sparking a prolonged feud.

  • On Monday, Dan Bongino fired off insults on X, and Matt Gaetz replied Tuesday, sparking a profanity-filled feud that lasted through the afternoon.
  • Gaetz tagged Grok to ask about Bongino's record, recounting his three unsuccessful congressional bids and posting a cheeky video alongside Tuesday morning barbs.
  • Bongino leveled personal accusations referencing committee findings, accusing Gaetz of nepotism and attending 'shady parties' while using vivid taunts and profanity on X.
  • After several hours of exchanges, Dan Bongino, former deputy FBI director, did not reply to Matt Gaetz, former Florida representative's final admission that he is `a d***`, and the spat wound down on X.
  • The spat spotlighted lingering controversies around both men, renewing scrutiny of Dan Bongino's FBI tenure amid the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and Matt Gaetz's ethics probe that ended his AG nomination last year.
