Democrat Leaders In House And Senate Refuse To Condemn Comey’s Incitement Of Violence Against Trump
Democrats are not moved by former FBI Director James Comey’s beachcombing, social media post apparently calling for the assassination of President Trump. Try finding a Democrat condemning it.
In fact, The Federalist specifically asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar if they planned to condemn Comey’s post. No response.
Comey’s post was a photo of seashells in the sand set in the formation of numbers “86 47” captioned, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”
Of course, 47 is a nickname for President Donald Trump, the 47th president. There is a long tradition of referring to presidents by their number.
And as any beat cop knows, 86 is slang for “get rid of” or “assassinate.” They know, because law enforcement makes it a point to understand threatening language.
James Comey called for "47" to be "86’d" but then had the gall to pretend he didn’t know what 86 meant. You can’t be the Director of the FBI for 3+ years and pretend you didn’t know that a call to "86" someone is a call to kill them. You can’t credibly do that. Lock Comey up NOW! pic.twitter.com/WFeRRTMsZT
