Democrats have taken more- and
stranger- positions on former FBI Director James Comey than are possible in a
frisky game of naked Twister.
Comey was evil incarnate to the
left when, just three days before the election, he intimated that there was
much more to the Clinton email scandal than was then known. Democrats called
him a Republican lackey, and viewed him as an incompetent, partisan clown who
should be removed from office immediately, if not summarily executed.
But then, after he apparently
started pushing for a more aggressive, in-depth investigation of possible Trump
administration ties to the Russians, he became a more sympathetic figure to
liberals. Maybe he really was a decent, non-partisan man, struggling to do a
difficult job well.
And then Trump fired him.
He instantaneously became the most
competent and beloved figure in our nations modern political history, one who
was the tragic victim of a madman desperately trying to cover up another one of
his budding administration’s numerous scandals.
How did he go from being seen as a
vile, sinister, Hillary-hating hack to being thought of as essentially a
combination of George Washington and Mahatma Gandhi? And in less time than it
takes Nancy Pelosi to recall who the current President is, at that?
It had nothing to do with Jeff
Comey, of course. He didn’t change much in the past few months. It was simply
that Trump fired him. When Trump hires
someone, or is even thinking of doing so, the left instantaneously and blindly
assumes that person must at least be related
to Lucifer.
Yet, if Trump somehow had the opportunity to fire Charles Manson, Manson would immediately
be seen as a great man, unfairly brutalized by an unbalanced, mean-spirited, homicide-a-phobe.
Poor Anthony Weiner. If only he
would have been in the Trump administration. Trump would’ve fired him and, voilà, he’d have gone from
disgusting scumbag to benign victim.
