To the surprise of few, Comey explained why he no longer considers himself a Republican:
Comey on leaving GOP: " I feel like the Republican party left me and people like me."

That’s what he said:
.@Comey to @TheView: "I used to think that at the heart of being a conservative…was first that character matters and second that values matter most of all. And I don't know where that is today in the Republican Party." https://t.co/XBjdKc1XeO pic.twitter.com/s0vrhAtSVN

Comey pinned much of the blame on Trump:
Former FBI Dir. James @Comey says "the Republican party left me and people like me": "I'm just not comfortable being part of it": "The sticking by [Trump] reflects an abandonment of what I thought were the core principals of the Republican party." https://t.co/f8u2wc159S pic.twitter.com/u42ECWoLw3

And remember, he prided himself on not being political. *Eye roll*
He sounds a lot like a politician
