Former FBI Director James Comey called the Republican Party “white supremacist adjacent” on MSNBC.

Comey was interviewed over the weekend by MSNBC host and former Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

“One of the things that is happening now is that the Trump administration, of course, is testing the system in ways it hasn’t been tested before,” Psaki claimed. “In the law enforcement sense, do you think there are laws that should be put in place that would help better manage this, that aren’t in place now? I mean, are we equipped? Is the law enforcement system and the legal system equipped to deal with what we are seeing now?”

“Probably there could be changes at the margins, but in the main we have the tools; there are cultural impediments to doing this work,” Comey answered. “Let’s say you work in the FBI; you know that one of the two political parties is — let me put it nicely— white supremacist adjacent, at a minimum. And so why would you wanna throw your career on that side of the line and be summoned to Capitol Hill to be asked why you’re pursuing these innocent groups. And so we have a cultural impediment to working it effectively that should get more attention than it does.”

In April 2019, Comey accused President Trump of “stirring” racism for his own political benefit, writing in the New York Times, “America has long had a radioactive racist soup in the center of our national life. Donald Trump thinks he is stirring it for political benefit. He’s actually doing something more dangerous.” He addressed Trump directly, saying, “You must stop trying to unleash and exploit the radioactive energy of racism.”

James Comey says the Republican Party are White supremacists.

He also called to ass*ssinate Trump.

He’s demonizing an entire group and calling for violence.

Comey also attacked the GOP by accusing the party of ignoring principles, although he followed by suggesting — without any irony at all and ignoring the actions of the Biden presidency, that a Democratic president might implement investigations of the GOP. He stated, “I know Republicans these days aren’t big in thinking about principle or precedent; they’re gonna be deeply sorry that disappears because someday there’ll be a Democratic president and there will be investigations of Republican office holders. If I’m them (sic), I sure would want these career people in place making sure that it’s done in the right way.”

President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin has “gone absolutely CRAZY” and is focused on taking Ukraine rather than ending the war.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump warned that Putin’s ambition would wreck Russia while also criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” Trump posted.

“He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!” Trump continued.

Hours earlier, when Trump was asked by a reporter what he intended to do about Putin, Trump responded: “We’ll see what we’re going to do. What, am I going to tell you? You’re the fake news, aren’t you? You’re totally fake.”

“I don’t like what Putin is doing, not even a little bit,” Trump added. “He’s killing people. And something happened to this guy, and I don’t like it.”

Trump also lashed out at Zelensky on Sunday, chiding the Ukrainian president for his rhetoric around the war.

“President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop,” said Trump.

“This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not ‘Trump’s,’ I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred,” he added.

Trump and Putin spoke on the phone for two hours last week. Afterward, Trump posted to Truth Social that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine would “immediately start.” Days later, the Kremlin said that no peace talks had been scheduled.

The week prior, Putin skipped peace talks with Zelensky that were set to take place in Turkey. Trump said at the time that “nothing’s going to happen until Putin and I get together” and suggested that Putin’s absence at the talks was due to Trump himself not attending.

Trump has suggested that peace talks could take place in the Vatican and be moderated by Pope Leo. While Italy and the pope have agreed to host the talks, the Kremlin dismissed the proposal.

“Many people are fantasizing about when and where it will take place. We don’t have any ideas right now,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday. “But imagine the Vatican as a venue for negotiations. It would be a bit inelegant for Orthodox countries to use a Catholic platform to discuss issues on how to remove the root causes.”
