Former FBI Director James Comey, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, said in a blistering op-ed for The New York Times that Trump's efforts to "exploit the radioactive energy of racism" are "more dangerous" than he realizes.
"America has long had a radioactive racist soup in the center of our national life. Donald Trump thinks he is stirring it for political benefit. He's actually doing something more dangerous," Comey wrote in the piece published Sunday.
Comey's comments come after a series of racist tweets from Trump last month aimed at lawmakers of color and in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, where a white supremacist killed at least 20 people in a shopping center -- one of two massacres by gunmen in the US in less than 24 hours. Earlier Sunday, Trump tweeted, "God bless the people of El Paso Texas. God bless the people of Dayton, Ohio," and, separately, ordered American flags to be flown at half-staff as "a mark of solemn respect" for the victims of the tragedies.

Thanks for the explanation.
Why this dickhead is still out there spouting his vile BS is way beyond my understanding...
This shows that Comey is out of touch. President Trump addressed the nation with his condolences Monday morning at 10 o’clock.
More than out of touch.
Boston Bomber, 9/11, a long list of others known to the FBI who failed in their duty
Their hatred is on display for all to witness, except the media turns a blind eye because they are engaged right along side them with their hatred.
CBS This Morning has turned into an attack Trump every segment show, unwatchable. Must be the new activist feminist running the news division.
Drop dead, James.
I soooo wanna see this clown go down HARD..
Guilty Parties tend to lash out just before they get caught.
What 8s dangerous my friend is lying about your fellow Americans who happen to possess 100 million guns. This crap is gonna explode very soon. And you lefties are finished. Never again !
So what is Comey’s interest in this matter? Did Comey’s FBI have a file on Dayton shooter Connor Betts after he was arrested and suspended for writing a hit list in his school bathroom? Did they fail to stop him just as they failed to stop other shooters already under FBI surveillance?
“but they’ll never experience any consequences despite...”
I keep hearing that and I wish it wasn’t sounding like a foregone conclusion. Say it ain’t so!
Trump owes nobody a thing but real justice.
