Fox guest blames Dems for botched test of Hawaii missile alert system: It's a 'butt dial' from a 'blue state'

Fox News pundit Dan Bongino, a former NYPD officer, suggested on Sunday that Democrats were to blame for a failed test of Hawaii's emergency missile notification system.


Over the weekend, Hawaii Emergency Management Agency sent out an alert advising residents to "take shelter." After 911 operators were overwhelmed with calls, the Hawaii government corrected the state, admitting that it had been a false alarm.

On Sunday, the hosts of Fox & Friends accused Democrats of blaming President Donald Trump for the mistake because two actors, Jim Carrey and Jamie Lee Curtis, noted on Twitter that Trump's leadership had made the world more dangerous.

"This is an amazing story," Bongino opined. "You have one of the bluest states in the country, Hawaii, run exclusively by Democrats, right? And a largely state-run system, this warning system, and basically you have the equivalent of a butt dial that could have nearly set off a nuclear event."

"This is Trump's fault?" he continued. "Number one for Hollywood, either they are really this stupid and they believe that Trump had something to do with this. Or secondly, they're lying because they have TDS -- Trump derangement syndrome -- to manipulate people and just destroying their business model even further."
