Democrat Calls For Assassination And Insurrection

Jesse Watters: James Comey ‘Obviously’ Trying to Put a Hit Out on Trump.

Friday on FNC’s “The Five,” co-host Jesse Watters said that former FBI Director James Comey’s “86 47” social media post was “obviously” an attempt to put a hit out on President Donald Trump.

Watters said, “I don’t know if he made it or not. He obviously was trying to put a hit out on Trump, got caught, deleted it, and he’s got a book out. Oh, what a coincidence. Any cop, any prosecutor knows the code for homicide. Eight. Six isn’t just a mafia slang, it’s a military slang. 86TO, and a rotary phone. He was a marine. He obviously knew what he was doing here. And he’s not just any old FBI director, Martha. He tried to frame this guy for treason. Remember, he spied on his campaign He got caught, got fired, leaked, and then ran away from Durham so he wouldn’t have to ask, answer any questions.”

He added, “He just called Trump a dangerous threat to the country. Who should be punished for the things he says. Now, I don’t know if this guy wants attention for the book. And by the way, the book is about right wing extremists who launch a terror attack in Manhattan. Or if he wants to be arrested because his life sucks, he’s lost all his respect. No one likes him, and he’s probably dying and goading the administration to put him in handcuffs, because that’s all he really has. Any more going for him. This man has set the Democrats back again. Everybody with common sense knows what this guy meant.”

Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said that while he had a low opinion of former FBI Director James Comey, he could go either way if Comey’s “86 47” since-deleted social media post was a “simple mistake” or an effort to inspire a coup or insurrection.

“What do you think when you look at this?” fill-in host Jason Chaffetz asked. “Do you think that this was just some accident that the former FBI director didn’t know what he was posting up about Donald Trump being obviously number 47?”

“My opinion of Comey is so bad, I don’t know that I could give a fair and balanced answer to that question, Jason,” Comer replied. “Everything that he was involved in that I was involved in investigating — there were mistakes made. There were lies told. There was incompetence everywhere demonstrated at every step of the way.

“So, my confidence level in James Comey is so low, I could see that he made a simple mistake,” he continued. “But it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that was intentional and they were trying to [gin] up some type of coup or some type of insurrection, as Jamie Raskin would say. They’re losing their mind over Trump’s success securing the border.”
