5 Cartoons That Perfectly Capture Washington's Mixed Reactions to Comey's Firing

After months of teetering on the edge, James Comey has finally fallen. On Tuesday, the White House announced that President Trump had fired the (now former) FBI director.

While it’s hard to determine what actually happened with so many narratives being thrown around (the why changes depending on who you ask and at what time) one thing is for certain: the news sent the Left and the mainstream media into a full blown meltdown. 

Democrats who once demanded Comey be fired are now outraged that Trump has done so. Some in the media have even labeled the incident today’s Watergate, a “full-blown constitutional”crisis, and the “Tuesday night massacre.”

As liberals continue their latest freakout, check out these five cartoons that perfectly capture Washington's mixed reactions to Comey’s firing. 

Yikes. Nice shot, Mr. President?
