Watch James Comey Fanboy Over Taylor Swift For 5 Minutes While Ripping Trump

So Comey melded those two passions into a video on Substack Sunday that has gone viral. (Watch it below.)

Comey notes in the clip that Trump “is still president and still humiliating America.” But he’d rather talk about a “truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift.”

He says he watched her interview with the Kelce brothers recently and boasts, “Taylor Swift and I go way back.” Meaning he went to his first Swift concert 15 years ago. Now he funds the attendance of others at her pricey shows and belongs to a family Swifties group chat, he notes.

Comey does criticize Trump, who fired him in 2017 and whose Justice Department just last month fired Comey’s daughter Maurene, who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein. But all roads lead to Swift in the footage.

“Of course we need to stand up to jerks and defend what matters,” Comey says, adding:

“But I think we have try to do that without becoming like them, which is what makes me think about Taylor Swift. She’s made clear that she sees Donald Trump for what he is. And, last year, she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake of electing him. Of course, we’re now living with the consequences of that mistake, but while our elderly makeup-covered president is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still ‘hot,’ and declaring that he can’t stand her, what’s she doing? Living her best life, producing great music, and, as she urged all of us to do during the podcast, not giving the jerks power over her mind.”

You know dude’s a fanboy when he can turn one of her songs into a life lesson.

“At my second Taylor Swift concert in Hartford Connecticut 14 years ago this summer, she sang a song about this topic asking, ‘Why you gotta be so mean?’ And she spoke directly to the nasty people: ‘I bet you got pushed around. Somebody made you cold. But the cycle ends right now cause you can’t lead me down that road,’” Comey says, reciting the “Mean” lyrics. “Nobody should have that power over us. Thank you, Taylor Swift. Keep the faith.”

But one defender opined eloquently on X: “If quoting Taylor Swift helps James Comey reflect on leadership and resilience, so be it. What’s actually mind blowing isn’t his music taste, it’s that people prefer mocking him over grappling with the damage Trump and his allies inflicted on democratic institutions.”
