Dan Bongino: 'Apparently, Condemning Irma Looters Makes You Racist'

[Banacek]

Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino blasted critics who he said labeled him a racist for previously condemning looters in Florida.

"Apparently... discussing looting now makes you a racist," he said.

Bongino, who lives in Florida, said those who are burglarizing stores during Hurricane Irma are "hack, phony frauds who have no lives."

He said the political left makes excuses for looters during natural disasters because their livelihoods are "based off clickbait."

Bongino said that, if people can market their side of an issue by declaring the other side racist, "some idiot is going to click on [their] article."

He said that the left and some in the media speak as if they understand the looters because it is a way to blame capitalism for something.

Paraphrasing scholar Thomas Sowell, Bongino said sympathizers see it as "not the criminals fault - it's society's fault. If we were a little more socialist and Communist, or better planners, we wouldn't have this problem."

There are no racial connotations of race in any of the above defined nouns or verbs. I might opine that in most languages that have ever existed on the Earth the definitions cited above would be accurate.

(a) If the shoe fits (video footage) wear it.

I never said there was any racial connotation to the term looter. I was just pointing out that I saw some photos on facebook that were of white looters.
