Washington (CNN)Former FBI Director James Comey called Thursday for the removal of Confederate statues in Virginia's capital in the wake of blackface scandals involving top statewide elected officials, in an op-ed for The Washington Post.

"Expressing bipartisan horror at blackface photos is essential, but removing the statues would show all of America that Virginia really has changed," Comey writes. "There is no doubt that Virginia's leaders need to be held accountable for their personal history, but every Virginia leader is responsible for the racist symbols that still loom over our lives," Comey writes.

Another NY born Yankee reared in NJ, Chicago educated,and a part of the left wants to further destroy the South. The South is a threat to the progressives as they are the last cohesive group of people left in the US.

Sure, but I’m figuring a job would occupy his time profitably and give him less of a chance to be a PITA.

Gotcha Southside. What ticks my a$$ is he’s an attorney and thats why Obama put him in the position to pull off the big con. Comey had no law enforcement experience.

Why is he still talking?

To keep his name in the news in order to sell his book... and to sell his book because there's always a remote chance he could be brought to justice. What would he be doing differently if he were a mole for a foreign government?

Well, the best way to avoid prosecution is to run as a Democrat candidate for President.
