Former FBI director and longtime Republican James Comey has urged Americans to vote for Democrats in November.
“This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that ‘Ambition must … counteract ambition,’” Comey tweeted on Tuesday, quoting The Federalist
Papers. “All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall.”
“History has its eyes on us,” he concluded.
Comey’s tweet comes as tensions continue to boil over in Washington following President Donald Trump’s recent remarks in Helsinki, where he met Monday with Russian leader
Vladimir Putin. During an extraordinary press briefing after the meeting, the president repeatedly rejected the conclusions of U.S. intelligence agencies, refusing to condemn Russia for
interfering in the 2016 American election.
“They said they think it’s Russia,” Trump said of his intelligence officials. “I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russia. I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.”
He also said he held “both countries responsible” for poor diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia, saying, “I think we’re all to blame.”
Comey, who has repeatedly criticized Trump and his policies since being fired by the president in May 2017, took to Twitter on Monday to condemn Trump’s performance in Finland and
called on “patriots” to “stand up and reject the behavior of this president.”
The lawyer later accused the president of selling “out our nation on an international stage.”

In before Trump blows his absolute nut about this.
Good on you though, Comey. We need to get people out there to vote out these crooks.
Traitor! I knew there was collusion! It was all a ploy by Crooked Hillary!

In all seriousness good on him, I'm glad he understands what's at stake here and is sticking by his guns about it.
I'm between Warren or Bernie tbh. I'm afraid for gun rights but I'm much more afraid for this country if we elect another crook like Trump.
There's been a few Repubs leaving the party and going independent or joining the Dems like Joe Scarborough.
It's sad how rare it is to see someone who values country and democracy over party and religion.
I agree, but the DNC is going to do their damnedest to make sure we don't have any of those crazy "progressives" winning.
America sucks.
I'm in complete agreement. It's just sad to see there isn't a sensible conservative option in the US, so Comey has to be blunt about which party has a foot in reality.
The DNC brass voted to limit the power of superdelegates, we'll see if the full committee goes the same way in August.
I've kind of forgotten that true Republicans are Republicans not because they hate democrats but because they have actual disagreements in policy. When you actually care about policy and not tribal warfare it's easy to say "yeah vote for the other guys please" because policy differences are the least important thing right now.
Republicans (at least the elected officials) lately have just been the party of protecting Trump.
He's talking about Midterms, not sure what Bernie, Warren, and the DNC have to do with November's elections.
And Trump won't sign any gun regulations even with a Democratic Congress.
I'd say that any sane Republican would say the same. Let the other team take the wheel while you try to flush out the corrupt assholes currently in power.
I think after the 2018 elections, there's going to be an impeachment. They're just holding out until then so they can keep their jobs afterwards
Not sure. To many republicans, nothing is more important than abortion. Trump may be in Putin's pockets, but as far as many Republicans are concerned, the Democrats have legalized the systematic murder of millions of babies
Same reason my dude.
I'm willing to give up my WASR collection if it means my son can not live in a shithole
White babies, as they clearly don't give a shit about the pregnant immigrants (any immigrant really)
White Upper-Class Cis-Het babies
because god help them if they're ever unable afford food, medicine, a sex-change operation, or want to marry someone of the same gender
White babies up until the time they are born, then they couldn't give a shit.
