Tulsi Gabbard said on Fox News Thursday that former FBI Director James Comey knew exactly what he was doing when he used language that echoed mob-style threats.

Chair Michael Whatley said in a Sunday interview that there’s “no way” former FBI Director James Comey didn’t realize his “8647” social media post would be interpreted as a call for violence, as the former FBI director asserted when he took down the post hours later.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard went further, saying she believed Comey should be put behind bars for the post.
