Conservative commentator Dan bongino is sharing details about what led him to part ways with Fox News.
During an interview with journalist Megyn Kelly that aired on Friday, Bongino discussed Fox News and its decision to abruptly fire host Tucker Carlson.
He argued the network should explain the move because “I think a lot of people think this may be some kind of anti-Trump thing.”
And that led him to speak about his own departure as he said, “I gotta say — that wasn’t my case.”
“My deal with Fox, I haven’t told this story anywhere else… I was not targeted. My show, they were dying to re-up, we negotiated for an entire year. So I can’t tell you like, ‘Oh, Fox got rid of me,’ because they didn’t. The liberal jerk wads are gonna go, ‘Oh Dan bongino was fired.’ I just give them the middle finger. It’s just stupid,” he continued.

Bongino shared he had a different vision for his weekend show on the network than the executives there did:
“They wanted the show. I just had a different vision for my role at the network and that’s OK. I’m not the Saturday guy, Megyn, I’m sorry I can’t work six days a week. I’ve got young kids and I’m not working six days a week. And even though we recorded the show on Friday, you know, the inside baseball of Fox, what happens when there’s breaking news? Which, with Trump out there is all the time — you gotta be on.”
