MSNBC's Capehart Dismisses Comey's '8647'—A 'Pseudo Controversy'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/18/2025 2:54:31 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Snorting "seriously, come on," on Saturday's edition of MSNBC'S The Weekend, co-host Jonathan Capehart dismissed former FBI Director James Comey's posting of a photo of "8647" as a "pseudo controversy."

Right! After all, in taking down the post, Comey claimed "I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me."

Of course he didn't realize it! After all, who would expect the former top federal crime fighter to be familiar with . . . criminal code?

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

What would Capehart be saying if Kash Patel posted 8644?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Shocking. This is big news.

A hardcore, sissified Leftie defends Comey.

I can't wrap my mind around this.;-)

The Far Left kooks don’t have any “Pseudo Controversies”. ROTFL! Everything they do is controversial. Morons.

These are the same people that demonize everything President Trump does, and protected President Biden from any criticism, now telling us that it is just a “psedudo Controversy’.

Just shut up already, you (MSNBC) are nothing but the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.

The dhimmicrap mouthpieces are circling the wagons for this a$$clown Comey.
He should be in prison, next to Killery, Zero, and SloJo.

Lies, lies, and more lies. It’s like a contest with the rabid left. I won’t even say “far left” because it’s all far left, very far indeed. Who can tell the best ever whopper. Let’s see: “The border is secure”. “Bidenomics is working!”. “President Biden is sharp as a tack”. “Our allies have great respect for our country!” “China is not our enemy”. “You must get vaxxed!”. “The virus came from a wet market”.
I could go on, and on, and on till next Sunday.

Criticism for the ‘pseudo’ media is by now the national sport in America!

It's ironic that when a Republican does or says something that's totally innocuous, the Dims will twist it around, "read between the lines", and call it a dog whistle for something nefarious.

However, when a Democrat does or says something that is blatantly obvious, their sycophants come out of the woodwork to claim it was misinterpreted or the person "misspoke".

This latest round of gaslighting is “Let’s Go Brandon” writ large.

They sure wouldn’t have if it had said 8646 while biden was president.

Or if harris had *won* the election.

Just imagine if a prominent Republican had done something like that when Obama or Biden was President?

I'm sure democrats and the MSM would have said it was no big deal./s

nobody gets it. this isn’t some rube out in the sticks or a moronic celebrity. it’s the former head of the FBI revealing his lack of integrity and shameless political animus toward the office of the President of our country. Bongino is right. Comey has lathered still more shame and distasteful baggage on himself, and the Bureau.
