Florida Man 'Lieutenant Dan,' Who Rode Out Hurricane Milton in a Boat, Drops N-Word During Kick Live Stream

Joseph Malinowski, the man known as Lieutenant Dan, dropped the N-word during a Kick livestream where he was giving viewers an explanation about where he puts people who have done him wrong.

A video surfaced online showing Malinowski hopping on Kick to chat with his fans, and while speaking on letting people back into his life, the man let the n-word fly freely from his mouth. According to people who were viewing the livestream, Kick ended it shortly after Malinowski dropped the n-word.

"If you want to get back in my good graces, it's going to take time and a lot of work. It's going to be hard," said Malinowski. "Cause once I cut you off, you're done n***a...sorry. Alright, that's it, you're done."

Malinowski went viral recently for refusing to leave his 20-foot boat while Hurricane Milton was expected to ravage several parts of Florida. His decision to brave the hurricane made him go viral on TikTok, earning him the 'Lieutenant Dan' nickname (from Forrest Gump) for resembling the character, including the missing leg.

It's worth noting that while Malinowski is in the spotlight, he has a checkered past with a lengthy criminal record, including arrests for hitting a police officer and allegedly trying to set a woman on fire, according to the New York Post. He's also reportedly been hit with charges in the past including drug possession, attempted breaking and entering and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Hurricane Milton came through to do its damage, and Malinowski made it out alive alongside his boat. Malinowski spoke with Fox 13's Kevin O'Donnell and claimed the hurricane wasn't as bad as he originally thought.
