Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino lashed out at right-wing podcaster Candace Owens for an upcoming broadcast that was expected to suggest Erika Kirk was linked to the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk."I don't know what to call it," Bongino said on his Tuesday podcast. "Some production Candace Owens is putting together, an investigative series. ... This just can't be what this movement is. And if it is, I don't want any part of it.""No human being deserves this," he continued. "I can't any longer look at this like this is some form of infighting. This is not part of any movement that I want to be part of."Bongino became emotional as he recalled Charlie Kirk's death."Erika didn't choose this, man," he said. "Then you got to go through this. Then you got a bunch of you know, absolute ... lunatics sending her emails. You did it! Comments, tweets."The former FBI official insisted that Owens and others who blamed Erika Kirk "deserve to feel the little licks of the flames of hell on every inch of your body.""If there's an afterlife, oh, and I believe there is, I believe in the second creation," he remarked. "I don't pretend to be the judge and jury, but I know you're not in it. ... Some people, and that is a majority of us, hate your guts. We don't want you. You were the spawn of Satan. I promise your parents, alive or dead, are looking at you now in horror that they spawned a demon. Your last name will live in infamy. Your kids will deny knowing you. I don't want anything to do with you.""Just go away," he added. "I know you can't because you have to spread your cancer everywhere."
