Excerpt:
Dan Bongino, a former U.S. Secret Service agent who is the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Maryland, discusses his run for office during an interview at his campaign headquarters in Severna Park, Md. on Oct. 2, 2012.
Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent turned author, is controversial simply because his former gig doesn't usually lead to the current one.
After protecting American presidents for 12 years, Bongino left the service and penned "Life Inside the Bubble," which points fingers at an overzealous federal government and is critical of the Obama administration. That being said, Bongino will still defend President Obama -- against a birther.
"Yeah, unfortunately, it's not true," Bongino said when an audience member confronted him Monday at the Heritage Foundation and insisted President Obama was born outside the U.S. "Listen, the President of the United States was born -- the President of the United States was born in the United States -- I can't argue with you about that," he continued, during a midday talk at the conservative think tank about his book.
