Trump Slams Fox Over Interview With 'Sleazebag' Former FBI Chief James Comey

Name-caller-in-chief also ripped ‘Commiecast’ MSNBC.

By Mary Papenfuss

The name-caller-in-chief was at it again on Twitter Saturday, blasting Fox News for Sunday interviews with “sleazebag” former FBI Director James Comey and “shifty” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

Both men are being interviewed by Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” Donald Trump warned his favorite news network that it was trying “sooo hard to be politically correct.”

He cautioned that “only pro Trump Fox shows do well,” adding: “Rest are nothing.” He sniggered: “How’s Shep doing?” — referring to former Fox News host Shepard Smith, who frequently criticized Trump and left the network in October.

He wasn’t done with name-calling yet. He also lambasted “Commiecast” MSNBC.

(Judi Lynn, this is not aimed at you -
I just need to blow off some steam. )

In general, I'm SO SICK of people hanging on his every tweet. Who really gives a shit what he thinks? The guy popped his cork a LONG time ago, so why pay attention to a 73 year old toddler?

Newsflash: he's not going to change.

Think what would happen if, for say, 5 days, MSM would mention him ONLY if he did something actually worthy of coverage. If for 5 days, absolutely NO ONE responded to his tweets. If for 5 days, no one mentioned him in forums or on social media. Wouldn't that be glorious? He'd go apeshit because he thrives on the attention.

I guess the bottom line is to follow one of the oldest internet guidelines: don't feed the trolls.

And he is, indeed, an internet troll.

(Getting off my soapbox now - thanks for letting me vent. )

Shiff knows his stuff and did really well. And Wallace wasnt throught softballs at him. The Dems couldnt have a better person pushing impeachment.

Comey was meh. He didnt come across as very confident. My guess is he knows he's in for a rough ride in coming months.

in the Oval Office of the White House. Among #45's lack of redeeming qualities is gratitude.

He can't tolerate anyone who is less than 100% loyal, no matter what they may have done for him in the past.

They attack Comey relentlessly so that people won't be able to grasp that it was Comey who got Trump elected.
