On Friday, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace wagged a finger at former FBI Director James Comey over some observations about President Trump in Comey's new book that he found to be "bitchy." Wallace has not yet read Comey's forthcoming book, A Higher Loyalty, but he reported that the excerpts that have been released have Washington, D.C., buzzing.

Wallace, though, didn't approve. "Comey goes out of his way to say the president isn't as tall as he thought he was, he checked out the size of his hands the first time they shook hands, that he noticed the president seemed to have little white half-moons under his eyes, maybe he had suntan goggles that he wore," he said.

While President Trump has certainly never been one to hold back from making such observations of his own, Wallace added: "You know, I think one can argue that by getting into the political food fight, that James Comey has done more damage to his own reputation than he has to President Trump's."
