‘Go f*ck yourself you piece of sh*t!’: Florida GOP candidate angrily melts down at reporter

‘Go f*ck yourself you piece of sh*t!’: Florida GOP candidate angrily melts down at reporter

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/go-fck-yourself-you-piece-of-sht-florida-gop-candidate-angrily-melts-down-at-reporter/



After much hemming and hawing, Caputo got Bongino to admit that he wasn’t actually a registered voter in the district. Then Caputo really laid into him.

“So let’s see: You move down to Florida after losing two campaigns in Maryland; you say you’re going to stay in Maryland and fight; you tuck tail and run away to Florida; you go look to run in District 18, you see you’re not going to be able to win there; you try to run in District 19, you’re losing there,” he said. “You’re like a professional political candidate who loses.”

And with that Bongino completely unloaded on him.

“You’re a disgusting real piece of sh*t,” he snarled. “Go f*ck yourself, you piece of sh*t! You don’t know why I moved to Florida, motherf*cker! You shut your mouth, you f*cking coward!”

State of the art, factory custom, Scott Brown wanna-be. Nobody does poutrage like these narcisstic weenies which, given their content free "messages", drips with irony.

I wouldn't be surprised if the gains votes. The teabagger rank and file will love this.

You never can tell in Florida but I bet he's toast.

That was a great meltdown, and very typical. Get called on your bullshit and result to name calling. Time for plan B, dude

People like that were going to vote for him already. He loses because he only appeals to a fraction of the electorate. That fraction would vote for a repub like him even if Jesus were the democrat.

That doesn't excuse Bongino's blow-up necessarily, but from the very start of the interview Caputo is combative and rude. Bongino should have hung up within the first few minutes if you ask me.

Given some of the responses here, I wonder if people went beyond the headline and actually listened to the audio. If a Democrat or someone on the left had been treated like this, I'm sure many would be singing a different tune.

Did you follow the story or just listen to the audio?

Democrats put up with that kind of hostility from the corporate media every day.

And he's still losing

Good job on Mark Caputo getting him on tape, too
