James Comer accused James Comey of trying to ‘Jizz up a coup’ against Trump, and got some really spunky reactions
In case you missed it, the former head of the F.B.I., James Comey, is in hot water over a now-deleted Instagram post that spelt out ’86 47′ in shells – 86 being a hospitality expression meaning to remove a dish from availability, or to bar a customer from the restaurant.
Comey was questioned by the Secret Service and widely accused by Republicans of calling for the assassination of Donald Trump – the 47th President of the USA.
I trust everyone is clocking what former FBI Dir James Comey is implying here (posted to Instagram at roughly 3:30 PM EST today) because it ain't good.
This is 100% a plea for someone to murder Trump. pic.twitter.com/m3GuPJRSh1

I absolutely cannot understand a man with a career background in American intelligence and national security being so ridiculously STUPID and cavalier about a message that means 86=Kill 47=47th President AKA "kill the president". What an utter and complete turnip you are @Comey… pic.twitter.com/tUIIreiXmN

There was also an element of hypocrisy – of course.
MAGA is outraged at James Comey putting shells in the sand that read "86 47" but cheered MAGA people who violently attacked the Capitol on Jan 6 in the service of Trump and had pick up trucks with these images: pic.twitter.com/qAiGw7lQR2

We don’t remember any MAGA outrage about that.
People have been trying to bring the discourse down a notch or fifty, reminding everyone of the actual meaning. This sums it up.
When I used to 86 people when I was a bartender, I didn’t kill them, I just cut them off and kicked them out. I’m behind Comey, let’s 86 47!

Kentucky congressman James Comer – yes, it can be a bit confusing at times – brought a whole new dimension to the issue with his hot take on Fox News.

In case that turn of phrase came across as a bit odd to you, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Here’s Grok’s explanation.
The phrase "jizz up" is not standard English and likely a slang term or error. It may be a crude twist on "jazz up," meaning to make something more exciting, but "jizz" refers to semen, adding a vulgar connotation. In the context of James Comer's Fox News comment, it seems to…

I would love to see the reaction on Jamie Raskin‘s face, if a reporter asked him if he was jizzing up a coup.

Unreal.
Comer can’t even stick the landing on a fake scandal—
