So here's what happened: James Comey posted something online that people thought was basically a political statement, but apparently he didn't realize it could be taken that way. Then things started to heat up because some people associated it with violence somehow, which is honestly kind of wild. I guess he really didn't want to get caught up in any drama or have his words twisted, so he took the post down.

From what I've seen, a lot of public figures are super careful about what they post these days, since people can get upset fast or take things way further than they meant. In this case, Comey said he was unaware the post could even get tied to violence, and honestly, with how quick the Internet is to jump on stuff, I can't really blame him for deleting it. It just goes to show, even if you're a big-shot former FBI guy like him, you can still accidentally start a mess online. It must be super stressful to always worry about how your words are gonna explode across social media. I feel like I'd just stop posting anything if it happened to me!
