[generalinformation]

Arguably the man that single-handedly Brought this monster into our lives🤷🏿

[AmusedMackerel-umvf]

I hope the black community is paying attention to the US Supreme Court is doing in South Carolina to stop blacks from having another seat. All Republicans voted in favor of this!

WHY WONT ANYONE CALL HIM OUT OVER 2016?!?!

[Wayondon]

James, you are largely responsible for this nightmare. Go hide somewhere.

And J D Vance wants to be the "Don". He acts like a bootlicker wanta be

[SaarinkuCastilho]

This guy does not deserve air time or recognition of any type. He is the reason we got the orange dude, that his legacy.

Thank you Comey for allowing his power to come to fruition. Can't stand comey, always be known as the man that most likely gave us trump for prez. Always going to get a down vote when he's on.

[DanielMcSweeney-yq]

You, sir, are the reason he still with us... we haven't forgotten.

[fredericrike]

James, why then, did you choose to reopen the case vs HRC?

[johnwright]

So many like him showed lack of moral fibre. It's time for real change.

[WAREHOUSE]

This is your fault Comey! Trump was President because of what you did! Just go away! You have much for which to atone!

[jenniferlastella]

He’s got balls when you consider his part in helping trump get elected. He ruined his career for a common criminal. He gets no sympathy from me - he knew better.

[annanderson]

We have to deal with tfg because of Comey! He was the beginning of the end!

[chrise.]

As a Sicilian, leave the Mafia out of the Trump nightmare. He is no Godfather!

[billybob]

This guy handed us Trump when he attempted to narrow Hillary's landslide. Not even Trump himself expected to win.

[carolwarchol]

He is largely responsible for the situation we are in. He should be ashamed to show his face publicly.

He put us in this mess & stuck us with this POS.

He's right, but I still hate this dude for 2016
