MAGA world erupted in fury on Thursday night over a social media post from former FBI Director James Comey, claiming that his image of seashells spelling out the numbers “8647” constituted a “threat” on President Donald Trump’s life.
Yet, while the Trump administration is investigating Comey and members of the president’s cabinet are even saying he “should be behind bars,” many of the same people raging that this was a call for assassination had previously used the same term to refer to their political opponents – including Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, just last year, Gaetz proudly tweeted that he’d “now 86’d” former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, former Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and Sen. Mitch McConnell from their leadership posts, adding that “better days are ahead for the Republican Party.”
“I was speaking in the past tense about things that had already happened,” Gaetz said. “Comey was putting out a call for future action. These are distinct.”
“During Biden's presidency, MAGA sold ‘8646’ t-shirts and bumper stickers and decals. No one thought that meant they were calling for Biden to be killed,” he noted, adding an eBay link to an “8646 In Distressed US Flag Anti Biden Decal Bumper Sticker” for sale.
