On Friday, Dan Bongino revealed the real reason behind his recent departure from Fox News.
Bongino's appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show was his first post-Fox interview.
Speaking with Megyn Kelly, the ex-Fox News host and MAGA favorite attempted to put the rumors about his resignation to bed.
As Mediaite reports:
“I think a lot of people think this may be some kind of anti-Trump thing. I gotta say — that wasn't my case,” Bongino said.
“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 fingers. It's just stupid,” he clarified in the discussion.
He explained that the real reason he walked away from the network was because of differences in vision. “I negotiate my own deals. I don't have an agent. I do my own business deals. I don't need any, I do my own business.”
Bongino emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance with young children at home, but his weekend show made balancing work and family difficult.
“It's hard — so I couldn't do it. And I said, ‘I'm sorry, that's not gonna work out.' So I definitely was not fired,” Bongino said.
