James Comey tried to join in the FiveJobsIveHad fun on Twitter. It didn't go so well
Former FBI Director James Comey found himself facing a torrent of mocking tweets after he attempted to join in on the #FiveJobsIveHad Twitter trending topic Saturday morning.
Comey added his rather mystifying iteration shortly after before 9 a.m, telling his 1.2 million followers that he previously worked as a grocery store clerk, a vocal soloist for church weddings, a chemist, a strike replacement high school teacher, and, finally, “FBI Director, interrupted”—a reference to his 2016 ouster by President Donald Trump.
Many of the responses referenced those aspects of Comey’s political past. Others still picked up on the revelation that Comey provided labor during a teaching strike, calling him a “scab” for breaking through a picket line. The first photograph showed Comey standing seaside, gazing out into the blue ocean, with the accompanying text “Geologic time offers useful perspective.” A follow up showed a woodsier view and bore the caption, “...so many questions.”But, as Saturday’s foray into the online zeitgeist showed, he has a knack for bringing people with wildly different political views together—even if only for a brief moment.
