Conservatives are being criticized for previously defending the "86 46" slogan as a call for President Biden's impeachment, while simultaneously accusing former FBI Director James Comey of calling for President Donald Trump's assassination after he posted an "86 47" image in a since-deleted Instagram post.

On Thursday, Comey posted a photo of seashells arranged to read "86 47," leading to significant backlash after MAGA supporters claimed he was calling for Trump's assassination. The former FBI director apologized in a follow-up social media post, adding that he assumed it was a political message but "didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence."
