Well, well, well.
ABC News has finally – just an hour ago/a day after it was news – put out an article about former FBI Director james comey’s “8647” instagram post.
Here is how it starts/how the article is framed:
President Donald Trump lashed out Friday against ex-FBI director James Comey over an Instagram post that contained an image that top Trump officials claimed was a threat.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Comey showed a photo of “8647” written in seashells in sand, with the caption “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”
Some far-right allies of Trump, including Laura Loomer, have alleged that Comey is calling for violence against the president.
To “86” something, however, has fairly broad interpretations as a slang term — and can simply mean to nix or “get rid”of’ something, according to Merriam-Webster.
Comey says he figured the message in the shells placement was political, but said he didn’t realize it called for violence against Trump.
There you have it. The idea that to “86” someone means to kill them – which I have known since I was a pre-teen – is nothing more than a concoction of “some far-right allies of Trump, including Laura Loomer”.
How can you possibly believe a thing that comes out of ABC’s newsroom?
And the other two, CBS and NBC are only marginally better; maybe not even that much.
