"NRA TV" just shown Trump's bud Dan Bongino the door. Womp Womp.
BONGI-NO-MORE
Dan Bongino Out at NRATV
Trump loves the guy. But the gun rights group is downsizing its media operation and his show appears to be a casualty of those plans.

The National Rifle Association’s media arm has dropped pro-Trump firebrand Dan Bongino from its lineup of conservative commentators, two sources with knowledge of the decision told The Daily Beast.
Bongino’s stand-alone show, “We Stand,” had started only last year.
An NRA spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. Bongino initially did not respond to numerous inquiries, but after publication he tweeted that news of his show’s demise was “fake news,” and promised to elaborate on his podcast.
He subsequently confirmed that “We Stand” is, in fact, ending, but suggested that the decision not to renew the show was his, not the network’s—a characterization questioned by one source familiar with the organization’s decision.
Evidence that his show was ending first came over the weekend, when he removed “NRATV host” from the bio on his Twitter account. Additionally, a little noticed Fox News broadcast referred to Bongino as a “Former NRATV Contributor” several weeks ago.
