While Republican Hill staffers mostly stayed quiet following President Trump's firing of FBI director James Comey, Democratic aides took to Twitter this week to express outrage and poke fun.
Here's a sampling of tweets from the left side of the aisle:
Lauren Miller, digital director to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.):
When you turn on @ktla to watch the Comey chase & instead find they're covering a bear on the loose, & it's way more exciting television.
Gilbert Gallegos, deputy district director and communications director to Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.):
Leave it to #LA news to show a slow-speed freeway scene of former FBI Director Comey driving where? to In and Out Burger?
Ryan Uyehara, legislative assistant to Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.):
Dems: Comey should've been fired if Clinton won. Shouldn't be now.
GOP: Comey shouldn't have been fired if Clinton had won. Should be now.
Josh Stewart, communications director to Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio):
What does Popovich think about Comey?
Stuart Perelmuter, press aide to Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.):
The real reason for Comey firing. Once he realized he would not create jobs in coal or manufacturing, Trump created a job opening in the FBI
