‘Appalling’ liberal calls Dan Bongino’s wife his ‘token person of color’

Former U.S. Secret Service agent, author and candidate for Congress in Maryland’s 6th District was a guest on the Kojo Nnamdi Show on WAMU in Washington, DC today. On Twitter he was accused by a liberal listener of using his wife as “the token person of color in his life.”

Listening to @dbongino on @kojoshow is making me squirm. He doesn't seem to understand there are people that aren't white, wealthy, men.

Dan makes a lot of people squirm because unlike a lot of politicians he doesn’t automatically give answers to questions based on a false premise. You can see video of the show on YouTube.

@MiriamSavad @kojoshow ridiculous statement. My wife is a Hispanic immigrant.

.@dbongino @kojoshow hope that means you're at least conscious of her wellbeing, since you don't seem to understand women's health at all

@MiriamSavad interesting, considering I was raised by a single mother, have two daughters, and my entire operation is run by women.

True story. Most campaign leadership is female. 75%+ of our volunteers are women #Bongino2014 #MD06 @dbongino @MiriamSavad

.@dbongino does your wife know that you are using her as the token person of color in your life?

— Miriam Savad (@MiriamSavad) October 10, 2014

@MiriamSavad do you know that your statement is ignorant, misogynistic and questionably racist?
