Wray called threats circulating online against federal agents and the Justice Department “deplorable and dangerous”
The director of the FBI had strong words Wednesday for supporters of former President Donald Trump who have been using violent rhetoric in the wake of his agency's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
Christopher Wray, who was appointed as the agency’s director in 2017 by Trump, called threats circulating online against federal agents and the Justice Department “deplorable and dangerous.”
“I’m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,” Wray said. “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.”
Wray made the remarks following a news conference during a long-planned visit to the agency’s field office in Omaha, Nebraska, where he discussed the FBI's focus on cybersecurity. He declined to answer questions about the hours-long search Monday by FBI agents of Trump's Palm Beach, Florida resort.
It has been easy to find the threats and a call to arms in those corners of the internet favored by right-wing extremists since Trump himself announced the search of his Florida home. Reactions included the ubiquitous “Lock and load” and calls for federal agents and even U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to be assassinated.
On Gab — a social media site popular with white supremacists and antisemites — one poster going by the name of Stephen said he was awaiting “the call” to mount an armed revolution.

May you reap what you sow.
"Law enforcement" -- yeah, that's what they were.
What did Wray have to say about the play about the assassination of Trump? Probably celebrated like all of his commie buddies.
“I’m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,” Wray said. “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.”
BLM? ring a bell there Pol Pot?
“Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.”
Wray seems to think Biden won an election and has a mandate?
What threats? With the threat of Team FBI Goon showing up at your house, who’d be stupid enough to threaten one of them.
Probably laughed, and giggled, got tingles up his legs.
They are trying to provoke violence. That will be used to justify what they plan to do. Don’t fall into their trap.
Listen Chrissy, we won’t shoot them, we are going to FIRE them….and you.
Those Trump supporters! They’re so MEAN! I bet Wray wants to hit them with his purse!
So now we are deplorable and dangerous.
But Antifa is just an idea.....
This guy really is a POS!
Very selective memory with this one!
Holy smokes! They really are using all the magic words on conservatives! Deplorable, dangerous, white supremacist, antisemite, maybe they can dream up some more.
Does this idiot remember Fast & Furious? Waco? Steven Hatfill? Ruby Ridge? Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping? Crossfire Hurricane, Hunter Bidens Laptop? Server in the bathroom for Hillary.gov?

Threats against officers of the law is illegal. Arrest someone.
