Conservative commentator Dan Bongino issued a scathing critique of the Democratic Party and its supporters, accusing them of employing “old-fashioned communist tactics” to suppress information and stifle dissent.

In a series of recent social media posts, Bongino asserted that when Democrats label something “misinformation,” it often indicates that the information is actually true and should prompt further scrutiny.

“When communist Democrats and their authoritarian media allies say something is ‘misinformation,’ that’s code for TRUTH,” Bongino wrote. He urged his supporters to double down on questioning every time they hear the term, alleging something is being hidden.

Bongino further criticized the Democratic Party, saying it had strayed from its roots, particularly those associated with former President John F. Kennedy. “Here’s the hard truth: Liberals own the Democratic Party, and JFK’s party is dead,” he said.

He added that current leaders would resort to extreme measures, including imprisoning people with opposing views, if given the chance.

The commentator’s remarks come as the 2024 elections approach, with high tensions between political parties. Bongino warned his audience that a Democratic victory could lead to a further erosion of freedoms, suggesting that Americans might one day look back at the country before what he described as “tyrants burn it down.”

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and outspoken conservative spokesperson, has frequently criticized the Democratic Party and mainstream media, often challenging their portrayal of political events and policies. His latest comments reflect growing concerns among right-wing commentators about the role of misinformation labels in public discourse.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Two men have been charged with manslaughter following a brutal assault in a supermarket parking lot that left a 38-year-old man dead, police said.

Manuel Perez, 49, and Francisco Corocoj, 25, both of 180 West 135th Street in Manhattan, were charged with first-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. The charges stem from an incident that occurred on September 18, 2024 in the parking lot of a Shop Rite supermarket at 1080 McDonald Avenue in the 66th Precinct.

According to police, around 7 p.m., the two victims, a 42-year-old man and a 38-year-old man, were sleeping in the parking lot when they were attacked by two individuals armed with metal pipes and a baseball bat. The attackers repeatedly hit the victims, seriously injuring them.

The 42-year-old victim suffered cuts and bruises to his head and body and was transported to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was treated and released in stable condition. The 38-year-old victim, who suffered from internal bleeding, was also taken to Maimonides, where he was later pronounced dead on October 2. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.

The New York Police Department is now seeking the public’s help in locating those wanted in this case as the investigation remains ongoing.
