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.”

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.

Miriam had nothing to say after that.
Turns out @dbongino's wife, @bongino, is just as awesome as he is. 🙂

Yep. Paula Bongino immigrated to the United States from Colombia, legally became a citizen and is now a successful business owner.

Boom.
Update 8:23 PM October 10:
"@MiriamSavad: .@dbongino does your wife know that you are using her as the token person of color in your life?"
What's your damn problem?
