James Comey warns Democrats against socialism: 'Please, please don't lose your minds'
Fox News ^ | 7-22-18 | Samuel Chamberlain

Former FBI Director James Comey waded back into the political fray on Twitter Sunday, warning Democrats not to "rush to the socialist left" in upcoming elections.

"Democrats, please, please don’t lose your minds," Comey wrote. "This president and his Republican Party are counting on you to do exactly that. America's great middle wants sensible, balanced, ethical leadership."

Democrats, please, please don’t lose your minds and rush to the socialist left. This president and his Republican Party are counting on you to do exactly that. America’s great middle wants sensible, balanced, ethical leadership.— James Comey (@Comey) July 22, 2018

Last week, Comey urged voters to back Democrats in November's midterm elections, tweeting that Republicans had proven "incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that 'Ambition must … counteract ambition.'"

This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that “Ambition must ... counteract ambition.” All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall. Policy differences don’t matter right now. History has its eyes on us.— James Comey (@Comey) July 18, 2018

Comey's latest tweet appeared to be a response to the rise of New York City congressional candidate Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old former bartender who defeated House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley in a primary last month.

Since then Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as a star of the so-called "democratic socialist" movement, having made several media appearances and campaigned with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in support of primary challengers.

The Democratic Socialists of America has endorsed 42 candidates for office at the federal, state and local levels in 20 states --including Florida, Hawaii, Kansas and Michigan.

"Please, please don't lose your minds."

It's far too late to worry about that, Jimmy. They lost them a long time ago.

You might as well have begged The Manson Family not to lose their minds. How far would you have gotten?

Nothing like talking down to people. That's what makes Comey such a DA.

Saint Comey does it to everyone.

And now, a word from the curtains:

"Please, please don't lose your minds"

The curtains have spoken!

>>The Democratic Socialists of America has endorsed 42 candidates for office at the federal, state and local levels in 20 states —including Florida, Hawaii, Kansas and Michigan.

The national organization seems to have only endorsed 13. I looked them up to see if any were around here.

From http://electoral.dsausa.org/our-endorsements/

The 13 candidates that DSA national has endorsed so far are:

Julia Salazar, New York State Senate, District 18

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, US Congress, New York’s 14th District

Jovanka Beckles, California State Assembly, District 15

Geneviéve Jones-Wright, San Diego County District Attorney

Gayle McLaughlin, California Lieutenant Governor

Summer Lee, Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 34

Sara Innamorato, Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 21

Kareem Kandil, Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 30

Zellie Thomas, Paterson City Council New Jersey

Kaniela Ing, U.S. Congress for Hawaii’s 1st Congressional District

Brandy Brooks, Montgomery County Council Maryland

Danielle Meitiv, Montgomery County Council Maryland

Chris Wilhelm, Montgomery County Council Maryland

Montgomery County is adjacent to DC and is full of government workers. More reason to drain the swamp, cut the size of the Federal bureaucracy, and move more of what’s left out of DC.

“James Comey warns Democrats against socialism: ‘Please, please don’t lose your minds’”

Comey follows up with...

“At least not yet. We can go full socialist after we’ve impeached Trump!”

Sorry, Comey. Crony socialism is firmly embedded in the minds of a lot of young folks.

Actually, what he meant was, STFU - The voters should not find this out until AFTER the election. i.e. He is an Insane, not a Crazy.

Yes, that was/is his intent.

But Trump is not your normal President. He fights back.

Comey is not worried about America.
He is only worried about the votes.
