Former FBI Director James Comey urged people to vote on Tuesday during the midterm elections—and it didn’t go over well.
“Voted. Now going out to knock on doors to urge everyone to vote. Should be fun,” the former FBI director wrote on Twitter.
Since being fired by President Donald Trump and subsequently being at the center of much controversy, Comey has become more vocal about his desire for people to vote.
In an op-ed published in the New York Times on Tuesday, the former FBI director asked people to vote today to “uphold our nation’s values,” and he criticized the political climate in the country.
“I feel the giant stirring. The awakening is slow, but it is underway. Torches and death in Charlottesville. Children in cages at the border. The lying, misogyny, racism and attacks on the rule of law from our president,” he wrote. “These things poke the giant. It takes time, but the American people are stirring. They always do. And when they awaken, these fevers break very quickly.”
In July, the former FBI director urged people to vote for Democrats during today’s midterm election, arguing that Republicans in Congress had “proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that ‘Ambition must … counteract ambition.”
However, for all of his urging, Comey did not find much love online.
Some people made jokes about his infamous letter regarding Hillary Clinton just ahead of the 2016 election:
Matthew Gertz:
If James Comey knocks on your door, please remind him that a lot of this shit is his fault.
(Knock knock) "Hey you're that assh-" "I know, I know, I'm sorry, please go fix my mistake":

my dream - we win big and my every response will be “we won, now STFU”
Still a lying, seditious Weasel.
Yes - Me too.
I can’t believe this pompous @ss was actually the head of our FBI. Complete loser. Kinda guy you’d love to beat up in school, because he was probably a big pus*y.
Most of his buddies should be felons and not allowed to vote.
“Dunking on”?
“Torches and death in Charlottesville. Children in cages at the border. The lying, misogyny, racism and attacks on the rule of law from our president,” he wrote.
Torches and death in Charlottesville. Children in cages at the border. The lying, misogyny, racism and attacks on the rule of law...
And that’s JUST Friday Night!!!
What a Freaking Jerk.
Yep - unbelievable
“Dunking on”?
I suspect that’s related to tea bagging.
In order to demonstrate how above politics you are its a great strategy to rebrand yourself into a model of hyper partisanship. It’s 5 dimensional chess move that most linear thinkers wouldn’t think of but Comey sees it clearly.
Everyone should vote against the party that “Corrupt Comey” supports.
Everyone in a position of authority is in rebellion, an Obama synchophant — "resist". In fact, many Federal agencies are not under the control of President Trump, except on paper. The State Department is totally in rebellion. Homeland Security is another. The CIA is another.
*moron. ;^)
Yeah - it’s a bit of FR tribal humor
