James Comey sparked outrage with a suspicious social media post just days before President Trump’s overseas trip. The former FBI director posted a photo of seashells arranged as “8647” – widely interpreted as “86 Trump, the 47th president.” Conservatives blasted it as a veiled assassination threat, while Comey claimed innocence.
Comey shamelessly blamed his wife for the post during a softball interview with Stephen Colbert. The “Late Show” host laughed off serious questions, helping Comey spin the story as a harmless mistake. Colbert didn’t press Comey about his long history of anti-Trump bias or the ongoing Secret Service investigation.
Republican leaders immediately demanded consequences. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called it “a death threat,” while Donald Trump Jr. warned about Democrat-backed violence. Former intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard stated: “Comey belongs in prison for this.” The White House confirmed federal authorities are investigating.
Comey’s weak excuse – that he “didn’t realize” the numbers’ violent meaning – defies belief. As FBI director, he knew code words and threat patterns. His sudden post deletion and groveling apology prove guilt. Meanwhile, Colbert’s audience cheered this dangerous rhetoric instead of condemning it.
The liberal media stays silent while a former top law enforcer openly threatens a sitting president. Where’s the outrage over political violence now? Democrats spent years pretending to care about “dangerous speech” – until it targets their enemies.
Stephen Colbert’s role in this scandal exposes media corruption. He gave Comey a platform to lie instead of challenging him. This isn’t comedy – it’s propaganda meant to normalize hatred against conservatives. Real journalists would’ve grilled Comey, not coddled him.
Americans see the double standard. If a conservative posted “86 Biden,” they’d be jailed immediately. But Comey gets TV interviews and book promotions. The left protects their own while weaponizing government against patriots.
President Trump deserves protection from deep state operators like Comey. Every American who values free elections should demand Comey’s arrest. The radical left won’t stop until we stop them – through votes, voices, and unapologetic patriotism.
