'Don't look away': James Comey says Trump supporters must pay attention to his tweets

We know a lot more about James Comey now that Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report has been released, but if Comey hadn’t been fired, we’d never have known what a weird, sanctimonious guy he is. His tweets aren’t nearly as bad as John Brennan’s, but he’s working at it.

Someone somewhere (maybe Christopher Steele) told Comey that President Trump’s supporters don’t pay attention to his tweets. They do, but certainly not to the extent that the mainstream media does; how many segments of his show has CNN’s Brian Stelter devoted to Trump’s tweets and even his typos?

As if Comey were someone you’d take advice from, on Saturday night he urged Trump supporters not to look away from his Twitter feed and ask themselves if that’s who they want their kids to be. Maybe not, but they certainly don’t want their kids to be little James Comeys either.

I often hear Trump supporters say they don’t pay attention to his tweets. But you must. And ask yourselves whether they reflect the values you want in a president and in America. What he tweets matters. Is that who you are? Is that who you want your kids to be? Don’t look away.

I struggle to believe Trump supporters speak to you or even carry on conversations regarding their attitude about Trump's tweets within earshot of you.

It's one of the less ambitious lies he's told this year.

I'm sure not one to listen to a sanctimonious, virtue signalling ex FBI director who has been caught in multiple lies, to save his self-righteous face.

Yep, that ain't me.

Please, go snap a selfie staring wistfully into the night. https://t.co/yd590tdoui

Not only untrustworthy but incompetent when it comes to doing the work of FBI director, legally and ethically, and morally, and honestly. So the guy who is supposed to stop crooks is a crook, and conspired with crooks. Put that on your resume and you can be put in charge of DNC.

Yes, I want him to have DIRECT access to the public without the bias filter of the propaganda media. The intelligence agencies have been just as bad as they've continually lied to the US citizens about, well, basically everything, every time they're summoned up to answer.

Looking straight forward eye to eye and ready to do it all over again. YES, he is what I want for me, my kids and grandkids thank you. #Trump2020LandslideVictory

His tweets remind us he is far superior to the elected sell-outs — those who’ve cheated their countrymen. He stands for our Republic and no Globalist or puppet master. He is gritty. And we love him. Yes. My children will know to never apologize for putting our Constitution first.

I would rather have them read his tweets than take advice from a dirty cop

You again? Do you never learn?

I love his tweets, especially when he trashes swamp creatures like you

— Allen (@AllenPneuma19) December 28, 2019

I love his tweets. Lord knows our children were not safe with you as head of the @FBI You need to be in prison already. You have done so much damage to our great country I don't know if can be repaired.

— Terri (@Intuition412) December 29, 2019

Yes Jimmy they do. His tweets represent the promises he made and the promises he’s kept, starting with you.

I'd rather have a patriotic president who is rough over a smooth-talking swamp creature.

How many times does the IG have to rip your leadership of the FBI before you retire from public life?

— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) December 29, 2019

No, they don’t reflect the values I want. Neither do people running the government that lie on warrants to keep illegal investigations going.

— Douglas Karr (@douglaskarr) December 28, 2019

What I don't want my kids to be is smug, arrogant and dishonest, willing to deceive and ignore or participate in wrongdoing in order to have things their way. Sound familiar Mr. Comey? You are far from perfect in your glass house. This President has more humility than you do.

— Jen (@Jen31731920) December 29, 2019

You lied to Congress under oath quit getting so caught up with Tweets bro.

— ALX ?? (@alx) December 29, 2019

I read his tweets. President Trump is transparent. He is human & loves America. Comey does not have a moral compass. Comey hurt America. Comey the criminal not yet indicted. Thank Trump for firing Comey. His only mistake was not doing it sooner.@realDonaldTrump

— Rita (@_Rita19) December 29, 2019

James Comey…the moral compass of America. lol

— Your Basic Clown (@YourBasicClown) December 29, 2019

Mr. Comey is just trying to push this phony moral persona to try to sway people when the truth of his corruption comes to light. It won't work.

— Suzanne Sutton (@suzanne429) December 29, 2019

You belong in Prison, and Lord willing you will be soon.

You are a traitor and the damage you did to the FBI and this country is beyond criminal.

When Durham report drops, should we look away?
