Former FBI Director James Comey hit back at President Trump for revoking former CIA Director John Brennans security clearance, saying Trump is sending a message that he will punish people who disagree with him and reward those who praise him.
Comey said in a statement posted to Twitter on Wednesday evening that in a democracy security clearances should not be used as pawns in a petty political game to distract voters from even bigger problems.
The former FBI director also criticized Trump for praising despots and dictators like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and [North Korean leader] Kim Jong Un and attacking people like a war hero like [Sen.] John McCain [R-Ariz.], members of our countrys free press, and devoted public servants like John Brennan.
American voters must not shrug off or be distracted from the terrible behaviors of his president, who lies to the American people every day, encourages racism, is a misogynist, and always puts his own interests above those of the United State of America, Comey wrote.
