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.
That is why it is impossible to believe that Comey — once one of the highest law enforcement officers in the land, who was deeply involved with investigating the criminal underworld — was clueless about the meaning of 86, as he claimed in a follow-up post after his photo caused a stir.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down.”
OK, Boomer.
We are not even convinced that you didn’t make that sand art yourself, Mr. Comey. Don’t ask us to believe you were not sending an intentional message.
Where is the Democrat outrage? The left is usually hypersensitive to the smallest slights, and this is not small.
There have been two publicly known assassination attempts on President Trump’s life. One in which a bullet struck his head.
In April, the Department of Justice had Shawn Monper of Butler, Pennsylvania, arrested, accusing him of threatening to assault and murder Trump, other U.S. officials, and ICE agents. He said he had been buying a gun a month since Trump’s inauguration.
Tranard Dell, a Port Orange, Florida, man was imprisoned after allegedly threatening to kill Trump on X. He also reportedly threatened to kill a Secret Service officer when the officer contacted Dell about the threats on the president.
How are these social media threats different from what Comey did?
Chances are there are more nutjobs out there just waiting for a sign from someone like Comey. A man of Comey’s former position is well aware that there are unstable people who would respond to his not-so-innocent sea-shell messaging.
Comey knew exactly what he was doing, and so do the Democrats, all suddenly quiet as D.C. gutter rats.
If they can’t stop Trump with a fake Russian collusion, impeachments, threats of jail, sexual scandals, rioting in the street, the Covid pandemic, or an avalanche of legal challenges heard by hand-picked activist judges, they may think there is only one way to remove him for sure. Trump winning the election was an important battle. But we are still at war over the very soul of this country. That is why Comey’s post matters, and why he must be held accountable for it.
Democrats are fond of saying no one is above the law — except in this case.

The Democrats are the cringe element of our country.
Violence is all they got left. They are in for a rude awakening if they think they’re getting another “summer of love”.
What’s the last time anyone saw one democrat disparage another? That trait is Republican specialty.
Haven’t heard a peep from any Republican members.
The Left is hate.
DemocRats refuse to condemn it because they support it.
Democrats protect criminals, gang members, cartels, illegals, killers and rapists. They don’t protect elected official because they don’t believe in the concepts of a democracy. That’s just a word for them - nothing more. A word to use as a weapon of their hate.
Not in the least surprising. They are all in on it. All of them, with few to no exceptions. Only the rabid Leftist proles shout it out, and dumb-asses like Comey try to be clever and imply it, but they all want it done.
Pray for President Trump.
Well, in all fairness, DemonRATS are all a bunch of asskissers anyway. I imagine they enjoy kissing Comey’s ass than they do kissing Hakeem’s ass.
There’s a whole array of 8647 decals and bumper stickers available online. Sure would like to know if the DNC has bought any to hand out.
Of course. They all want trump dead.
Pussies begging for a civil right wing extremist war.
Q:what is the difference between a democrat and a liberal Republican? A: the spelling.
Why shouldn’t we be surprised?
Wonder if Comey was ever in contact with Routh?
Let’s be clear - the democRATS WANT him 86’ed.
After years of calling Trump “Hitler”, the Dems want some deranged mental midget to do it while they sit back and say they never wanted violence. Dems are pure evil.
The idyllic dreams of the “summer of love” all came crashing down when reality hit.
The failed policies of the dems.
So why do we pretend this will end peacefully. WTFU people!
