An Instagram post from former FBI Director James Comey has drawn a massive backlash from the right, which is accusing him of calling for Donald Trump’s assassination.

Comey on Thursday posted a picture of seashells arranged on beach sand reading “8647.” He claimed that he came across the shells, already arranged, while taking a walk, and assumed that it was a political message. Conservatives immediately started attacking Comey, a critic of Trump who was fired by the president during his first term.

“Just James Comey casually calling for my dad to be murdered. This is who the Dem-Media worships. Demented!!!!” Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, wrote on X Thursday, pinning it to the top of his profile.

Far-right influencer Laura Loomer also freaked out in multiple X posts, claiming, “This is a call for the assassination of President Trump by the former FBI Director!” And on Fox News Thursday night, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called for Comey to be jailed, calling the post concerning in light of Trump surviving “two assassination attempts on his life.”

8647 spelled out in seashells on sand

But how dangerous was Comey’s post? According to Merriam-Webster, the verb “86” can mean “to eject, remove, or dismiss” a person. The “47” in the picture presumably means Trump, the 47th president of the United States. Though some use the term 86 to mean “to kill,” many also use it to simply mean to get rid of something.

Regardless of what Comey meant, conservatives are acting in bad faith when they call for his prosecution. The phrase was also used against Joe Biden, with conservatives selling “8646” merchandise. Trump’s own social media posts have far exceeded Comey’s post, such as his 2024 post of a video showing Biden hog-tied in the back of a pickup truck. All of this is just another case of the right crying wolf.

1747947947307.pngComey deserves all this smoke from Trump...instead of calling this liar out while in the FBI office, he stayed silent took notes and now here we are. I wish him well....NOT
 
There were 8646 T-shirts for sale when Joe was in office. We did not develop a dishonest fake outrage over them. First, we know that 86 means to push out or ban, not assassinate. We also know it is small time to wail about such things. Ignore them and they go away as bad ideas often do. This one offered a chance to go after Comey, too, and the right cannot pass up a useful phony outrage.

You cannot be backing 8647 as a call for murder? Comey is not like Trump.

lol.

I think people who are in or have been in a position to investigate people who make threats on others should avoid such appearances.

"backing" whatever... dude.

Comey should have thought a bit before making the post, then avoided such an appearance. That's my opinion on this. Do I think he should be "arrested" or something for "threatening the President"... No. But I do think he's made some poor choices.

This is true.

It needs to be apples to apples. Which leader of theirs are they supporting who posted an 8646 image somewhere? Saying, "some dudes made some t-shirts" is not the same thing at all. Nobody was upset about the 8647 t-shirts, or the libs of tiktok dancing to 8647 themed tiktoking posts, it was the person who chose to do this.

If Kash, as current head of the FBI went around wearing an 8646 t-shirt, you'd have a point. However, 8647 has been a thing since he won the election, probably would be a thing for the normal populace if Kamala had won, but you'd (royal you here, referencing leftists) be on here saying it was a threat to the "first black woman President"... and if the former head of the FBI put on one of the shirts to dance on tiktok you'd be nearly apoplectic...

Anyway, nobody is upset that 8647 is a thing, only the incredibly dumba$$ move by the former head of the FBI.

Interestingly, nobody has wondered why he isn't arrested in this thread... nobody is calling for his execution... He deleted the post, so there's that much.

It was a stupid thing to post, but I understand he was treated very unfairly and is free to do this stuff if he wants. It is more Trumpism, just coming from the left instead of the right.

He’s no “hero of the left”, they haven’t forgiven him for the Hillary nonsense.

LOL. That is WHY he's a hero of the left.

They say things like: "Even Comey says that nobody would have prosecuted"... and now, "See, even Comey hates Trump!"...

Yeah, he's a hero of the left.
