By John Q. Hosedrinker As the news broke that former Republican FBI director James Comey backs Kamala Harris for president, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of frustration and anger wash over me. This is the same man who, in my opinion, played a significant role in the chaos and devastation that has unfolded in our country since 2016. Comey may be trying to make amends now, but the damage has been done, and it’s irreversible.
I vividly remember the events leading up to the 2016 election, the infamous October surprise where Comey reopened the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. This move, based on flimsy evidence and done at a critical moment in the election, undoubtedly had an impact on the outcome. It’s difficult to forget the repercussions of that decision, the rise of Trump, and the subsequent harm that has befallen our nation.
The fact that Comey now publicly endorses Harris feels like a slap in the face to those who have suffered under the Trump administration. It’s hard to take his support seriously when his actions in the past have had such negative consequences. While I believe in forgiveness and redemption, some mistakes are too grave to be forgiven, and Comey’s role in the 2016 election is one of them.
It’s frustrating to see someone who had a hand in creating the mess we’re in now try to wash their hands clean by backing a new candidate. The damage caused by Comey’s actions runs deep, affecting countless lives and shaping the trajectory of our country in a harmful way. It’s hard to see how his endorsement of Harris changes any of that.
In my view, Comey’s attempt at redemption falls flat. He may want to distance himself from the chaos he helped create, but the reality is that his actions have had far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. While some may choose to forgive and forget, I find it difficult to do so when the scars of the past are still so raw.
In conclusion, Comey’s support for Harris may be well-intentioned, but it doesn’t erase the damage he has caused. The wounds inflicted by his actions in 2016 are still fresh, and it’s hard to see how his endorsement changes anything. As we move forward, it’s crucial to remember the past and hold those responsible for their actions, no matter how they try to rewrite their own narrative.
