Everyone’s dunking on James Comey’s get-out-the-vote tweet

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":

"I feel the giant stirring. The awakening is slow, but it is underway... 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."

Dude, where were you? It already happened. Just two years ago....

If I opened my door in answer to a knock and found this sycophantic lying dork there, I'd slam it in his face.

Because voting for Democrats is more likely to save him from prosecution.

Hard to believe that somebody that obtuse (or disingenuous) could ever rise to a position of authority in a law enforcement organization.

ONE death of a morbidly obese woman who died of cardiac arrest in Charlottesville, and they fetishize it on and on and on. But the FIVE police officers slaughtered by a BLM racist in DALLAS? Forgotten! Even though it was immediately preceded by racist flame throwing by Obama and Holder in Ferguson and Baltimore. Leftist media: like it never even happened!

What was the deal with that anyway? He knew Trump was gonna win so he wanted to give him a reason not to fire him?

Him being former FBI, I would like for Comey to do a no-knock campaign and see how it goes.
