Mediaite reports:
Fox News contributor Dan Bongino had a very on-brand Twitter meltdown Thursday after a reporter tweeted that the New York Times added an asterisk to his new book on their best seller list.
That asterisk, known as a “dagger,” noted that Bongino’s latest pro-Trump hagiography is the benefactor of a bulk sale.
Much to the outrage of the author and thrice-failed congressional candidate, Young Turks host John Iadarola noted that the Times added such an asterisk to Bongino’s Exonerated.
Dan Bongino’s new book debuted at #12, with the dagger symbol indicating that the only way it got there was bulk purchases, likely by right-wing think tanks.
It’s a “best seller” by only the most artificial, dishonest, and technical definition. pic.twitter.com/NtSkp3VJpt

You’re a zero, a liar, a fraud, and a disgrace to your family, friends (if you have any), your neighbors, your parents and planet earth. It’s garbage like you that makes the world worse. You’re the reason sane people revile liberals and their love affair with lying.

Take it up with the list. They put the dagger there, not me.
Also, can we agree that it’s pretty sad that you temporarily unblock people to whine at them before blocking them once again?

Proving what a lying, piece of human garbage you are, I will write you a check for $10,000 tomorrow if you can provide evidence that our 46,000+ sales in just a few months were due to “bulk sales.” You can’t, because you’re a liar. And that’s what sleazy liberals do, they lie. pic.twitter.com/ANetnHcPtJ

Also, you’re a chump and a coward. Yes, I called you that. Me. And you’ll have to do nothing but sit back and take it, because that’s the life of a chump and a coward. Accuse and then run away, like a chump.
