Former FBI Director James Comey appeared to call for the assassination of President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday, but his outburst is just one in a long line of far-left lunatics whose extreme rhetoric has laid the groundwork for violence — and assassination attempts — against conservative political figures.
The social media featured a seashell arrangement of the numbers “8647” — a clear reference to the numbers “86” meaning “to get rid of,” and “47,” the presidency number of Trump’s second term in office.
The Trump administration said it was taking the threat seriously, and the dopey former FBI chief then 1) claimed that he stumbled across the message on the beach instead of make the formation himself, which is almost certainly untrue, and 2) that he genuinely had no idea that ’86’ is associated with violence — again, hard to believe.
As Ed Martin, former acting U.S. attorney for D.C., put it: “From Schumer Whirlwind to Comey 86 you get Butler or worse … their plan is killing: they are a clear and present danger.”
In 2020, then-Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., threatened Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, should Roe v. Wade be overturned.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind,
and you will pay the price,” Schumer bleated to a crowd of angry people in 2020.
By May of 2022, more than a month before the official decision came down, someone leaked a draft of the would-be Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that would overturn Roe.
And sure enough, by early June, there was someone apparently willing to heed Schumer’s call. A California man admitted he traveled all the way from Los Angeles to Kavanaugh’s Montgomery County, Maryland, home “with the intent to kill the Supreme Court Justice.” Thankfully, he never had the chance.
