Former FBI Director James Comey was clearly teed off at Fox News after his hearing with lawmakers today. After calling out Republicans’ “fear of Fox News,” he very directly told a Fox News reporter that people who watch her network believe “nonsense.”

Catherine Herridge, after Comey’s swipe at Fox News, made a point of saying, “I have a question, from Fox News, in fact.” She proceeded to confront him about his handling of Michael Flynn‘s interview, which he defended.

Herridge also asked him about the FBI’s reputation taking “a big hit,” asking him if he shares the responsibility for that.

Comey answered by saying this:

“No. The FBI’s reputation has taken a big hit because the President of the United States, with his acolytes, has lied about it constantly, and in the face of those lies, a whole lot of good people who watch your network believe that nonsense! That’s a tragedy. That will be undone eventually, but that damage has nothing to do with me.”
