When describing the relationship between celebrities and former FBI Director James Comey, the answer is: it’s complicated.
On Tuesday evening, President Trump shocked the nation by firing the Bureau leader after a recommendation from the Attorney General and Deputy AG. Yet, many celebrities pointed out the suspicious timing of the termination, noting that Trump is currently under FBI investigation.
However, the stars have not always aligned with Comey. After the election, many actually called for the FBI Director’s dismissal, assuming that his Oct. 28 letter to Congress had helped to reduce trust in Hillary Clinton and pave the way for Donald Trump’s victory.
Actor George Takei and comedian Chelsea Handler were both quick to make the connection.
Other stars brought Russia into the conversation.
Some used Trump’s latest political move to generally denounce him and his administration.
