Former FBI Director James Comey has endorsed Joe Biden for President.
However the Biden campaign appears to have no interest in accepting it.
Comey tweeted:
Voted in first Dem primary to support party dedicated to restoring values in WH.
I agree with @amyklobuchar: We need candidate who cares about all Americans and will restore decency, dignity to the office.
There is a reason Trump fears @joebiden and roots for Bernie. #Biden2020
Biden Campaign rapid response director Andrew Bates did pretty much the opposite of welcome the endorsement.
Bates tweeted:
Yes, customer service? I just received a package that I very much did not order. How can I return it, free of charge?
OUCH.
UPDATE: Looks like Bates is now walking the brutal rejection back.
He has since amended the tweet with:
I forgot the #1 rule of politics, which is that if you talk about anyone or anything related to 2016, common sense goes out the window. It was meant to be a lighthearted joke – not a rejection. We appreciate the vote of anyone repelled by Donald Trump.
