A statement on the relaunch promised “a renewed focus on Washington insights, behind-the-scenes details from his time in government, and a message of hope and resilience in the conservative movement.”

Bongino’s return to the public square from got a rapid reaction from The Washington Post which may have liked him better when his microphone was in the “off position.”

According the article, Bongino “stoked ‘deep state’ conspiracy theories. Now they’re coming back to haunt him”.

The Post contended that Bongino “is returning to an audience in rebellion. Many online have pilloried him for not exposing the conspiracies or jailing the villains he had once decried in hundreds of tweets and Rumble streams.”

That audience including the Post are no doubt curious to hear the story Bongino could not address while in the bowels of the “Deep State.”

“Bongino’s return is great for public discourse and great for Rumble,” the company’s CEO, Chris Pavlovski, told The Post in a statement, noting that Bongino’s show was the platform’s top live stream before he entered the FBI.

Bongino shifted his focus to Rumble after he was suspended from some larger online platforms for posts related to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol and what critics termed lies and convoluted narratives conceived by the Covid overlords.

In a post to X on Jan. 12, Bongino shared a collage of headlines about the FBI from the past year with a caption that read, in part: “It’s been a busy year. So much to talk about when I return to podcasting.”
