Ex-FBI Director James Comey had another anti-Trump seashell moment prior to his Thursday Instagram post that showed seashells arranged to show the numbers "86 47," a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to incite a "hit" against the 47th president.
Comey posted a photo of a single larger seashell that was painted blue with the words "Vote Harris" on it in October 2024. "Saw this at the beach," the ex-FBI chief captioned the post. "Ariel understands the assignment," he added, apparently a reference to the main character of Disney's "The Little Mermaid."
Comey's propensity to post images of political messages on the beach has gotten him into some hot water after the Secret Service said it was sending agents to investigate and interview Comey.
