'Absolutely Outrageous': Celebrities React to Comey Firing

The firing of FBI Director James Comey has infuriated many Hollywood celebrities.

Comey was fired by President Donald Trump on Tuesday for his handling of the agency’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, according to the Washington Post, stunning news considering Trump benefitted from the Clinton investigation during the campaign.
