Former FBI Director James Comey bashed President Donald Trump and said Americans should vote on Tuesday to uphold our nation’s values.
In a column published by The New York Times, Comey cited the “lying, misogyny, racism and attacks on the rule of law from our president.”
Although he referred to Trump in the column, Comey never mentioned him by name.
“I’ve been traveling around the United States for six months speaking about ethical leadership,” Comey said. “Nearly every place I go, I hear some version of this question: ‘Are we going to be OK?’
“What the questioner means is, given the current leadership of our country and the ugly undercurrent on which it thrives, is America as we know it going to survive? Yes, is the answer I give, without hesitation. We will recover.”
Comey said it takes time, but he believes things are starting to change in the U.S.
“I feel the giant stirring,” he said. “The awakening is slow, but it is underway.”
And he added: “Every American should be speaking about our nation’s values. Every American should be voting those values, which are far more important than even the most passionate policy differences. The history of America consoles us, but also calls us to action.”
