Russian Diplomat Mocks Comey Firing: "Was He Fired? You Are Kidding!"

As Washington, D.C. is still reeling from the firing of FBI Director James Comey, you have to know the Russians must be tickled pink.

I'm certain it's just coincidence that Russia’s top diplomat just happened to be visiting the State Department today.

As Secretary of State Rex Tillerson introduced Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, a reporter asked whether the firing of the FBI Director would "cast a shadow" over the diplomatic talks.

With mock surprise, Lavrov responded, "Was he fired? You are kidding, you are kidding," then smiled as he turned to leave the room.

I wonder when Putin told President Trump to fire Comey...?

Watch below.
