Comey Mixes Taylor Swift Obsession with Trump Hatred in One Wild New Video
“You see, Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago. … I’m in a family Swiftie group chat. I know all her music, and I listen to it on my headphones when I cut the grass.”
Former FBI Director James Comey released a stunning new anti-Trump video laced with anecdotes that expose his deep admiration — borderline obsession — for Taylor Swift on Sunday. It’s so bizarre and cringeworthy, you might mistake it for AI-generated. Unfortunately, it isn’t.
The video is so outrageous that one viewer wondered if Comey is laying the groundwork for an “insanity” defense in the event he is indicted for his role in weaponizing the FBI against President Donald Trump.
The 64-year-old begins by trashing Trump.
Donald Trump is still President and still humiliating America on a national stage, standing next to Vladimir Putin. It’s like a dream—a bad dream you can’t wake up from. But I don’t want to talk about that bad dream this week. I want to talk about a truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift.
Then, before our very eyes, the towering former top law enforcement officer morphs into a teenage girl.
Of course, I watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey Brothers. Of course, I watched the whole thing, although on YouTube, Patrice and I got kicked off for the last 15 minutes and finished it on her phone. But I watched it.
You see, Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago. I’ve been to a second, and I have helped financially support the attendance of a lot of family members at others. I’m in a family Swiftie group chat. I know all her music, and I listen to it on my headphones when I cut the grass. So yes, I have a favorite of hers—although honestly, for me, it’s a tie between All Too Well, 10 Minute Version, and Exile, featuring Bon Iver.
You’ll be embarrassed for him as he tells viewers that Swift’s music provided the Comey family with “a soundtrack, really.”
As he tries to appear relatable, Comey shares that he’s “struggle[d] with how to stand up to bullies without letting their meanness infect me and change me.” But through her music, he says, Swift has shown him a way to deal with it.
At my second Taylor Swift concert in Hartford, Connecticut, 14 years ago this summer, she sang a song about this topic, asking: ‘Why you gotta be so mean? And she spoke directly to the nasty people: I bet you got pushed around. Somebody made you cold. But the cycle ends right now, because you can’t lead me down that road.’
Next, he talks about the millions of “jerks” in America and claims that “there’s a stunning coarseness and ugliness in the Republican Party today.” While we must “stand up to jerks and defend what matters,” he adds, “we have to try to do that without becoming like them, which is what makes me think about Taylor Swift.”
It appears that everything makes him think about Taylor Swift.
He ends by thanking Swift and telling viewers to “Keep the faith.”
NEW: Former FBI Director and 'Swiftie' James Comey releases a 5-minute video talking about how Taylor Swift inspires him and how she helps him deal with Trump.

Needless to say, this video went viral.
Here are some of the reactions on social media.
Just when you thought nothing could get worse than the seashell story he drops this.

That’s actually an interesting perspective…is this a PSYOP by him to claim mental illness later to avoid prison? Good point. I guess we shall see…

AI?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE AI.
Because I’m not sure I can deal with the idea that America once entrusted the FBI to this lunatic traitor.

And of course, the memes have begun.

Cut the grass? Is this drug lingo?
Apparently, it’s about trimming hair
I figured it was some sort of lesbian code.
Ewwwww!
🤮
Yes. Street weed dealers regularly cut their product with cheaper fillers, such as ragweed or desert mistletoe.
I’m so old that to me “swiftie” refers to the brave swift-boat officers who told the truth about Kerry. Back when this singer was still in high school.
Ha ha. Comey is your age.
Hey, some others might resemble Milhouse’s remark.
The only adult males who listen to taylor swift music have teenage daughters who play it all the time, or else they are gay on the down low?
yes.
I’m just surprised he didn’t throw in that he listens to Swift while vaping
I find it telling and the tell is Comey has fantasies about being a teen pop idol, a mark of the pedophile.
Yep. What do you bet he used FBI resources to stalk her?
He’s a groomer. He pays for his family members to attend these puke shows.
The woman writes songs about all of her failed relationships, which are many.
Hmm . . . Does she really??

“Some of my best friends are young people!”
“How do you do, fellow kids?”
We live in a time where the official news becomes virtually indistinguishable from the Babylon Bee. For example, “Ten Telltale Signs of Dangerous Authoritarianism.”
“Someone you don’t like won an election because more people voted for him: This should never be allowed to happen in a democracy.”
“A super-hot actress did an ad for jeans: No one wants to live in a world where they have to look at attractive people.”
“Police trampling on the rights of hardworking carjackers and muggers: True freedom means never being arrested.”
The last one comes so close to reality that it suggests that we really do live in a simulation, and there’s a serious bug in the program.
“The things we do for TDS.”
Comey is, without a doubt, a doofus. An inept, evil doofus, but a doofus nevertheless.
swiftboating america~~ the lefty way
So Comey was always a teenage girl at heart. That may explain a lot.
It’s Jamie Comey Time, Jamie Comey Time!
what a pedo creepy cringeworthy goofy oddball you are.
Perhaps this will inspire TS to compose a new song about a former gov’t employee who is now a cocky unindicted felon. Sounds to me like real top-40 material.
Top 20-to-life, at least.
“Comey shares that he’s “struggle[d] with how to stand up to bullies without letting their meanness infect me and change me.” But through her music, he says, Swift has shown him a way to deal with it.”
Head of the FBI, folks. Needed Taylor Swift to help him learn to be a man when he was in his 50s and 60s. Says a lot.
“And she spoke directly to the nasty people: I bet you got pushed around. Somebody made you cold. But the cycle ends right now, because you can’t lead me down that road.”
That’s some straight up DEI rhyming, bro.
I’m embarrassed for him! 😁
Not me. As he’s describing this for the camera, I want to wedgie him.
Remember when all the RINOs and GOPe swore up and down that this clown was a ‘non-partisan straight shooter’?
Frankly this far leftist clown did more to destroy the left’s illusion of ‘non-partisan’ government than any single other person on the left.
I wonder how much time he spent with the Child Trafficking Group? Maybe they can’t release any of the work his daughter did because he has it all.
I have to wonder if Comey is trying to fake “crazy” in order to avoid prosecution…
A lot of people are saying that. 🤷♀️
The guy is a bo-tard.
I’ll bet he dances like she does.

“You’ll be embarrassed for him as he tells viewers that Swift’s music provided the Comey family with “a soundtrack, really.”
“Bad Choices in Men?”
The vile, greasy, subversive and malignantly narcissistic Comey wants to become “Creepy McCreepster,” to add to his soiled résumé containing an entry for “Thoroughly corrupt G-Man.”
He needs mental help.
How did this knucklehead every get to be director of fbi. Was he always like this or did he have a stroke or mental breakdown,
He seems like a person who is on the edge, to me. His eyes don’t match the smile on his face and comes across as deeply trouble. I agree with a previous poster that he needs some serious help.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he shows up dead, sooner rather than later.
It doesn’t look like he can take much more stress.
Tell us you’re on anti-depressants without saying so explicitly.
He’s circling the drain.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy /sarc.
Does he collect Beanie Babies and watch Peppa Pig?
So, think that Taylor Swift will be Comey’s Jody Foster?
Or will he just turn into Dr. Strangelove’s General Jack D. Ripper?
Or. Captain Queeg?
does he walk around with some marbles (his brains) talking about strawberries
i agree with above comments
either 1. he is laying ground work for crazy
2. ihe is a pedo n let the mask slip
