Ivey Gruber | Pop Culture Pandering: Comey’s “Swiftie” Strategy

Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, weighs in on James Comey’s latest media doings, where the former FBI Director went on Substack declaring himself a “Swiftie.” They discuss how Comey is attempting to use Taylor Swift’s cultural influence to pander to the left, framing his fandom as a way to bash Donald Trump while trying to remain appealing to younger and more progressive audiences. It’s another example of how politics and pop culture are being blended to manipulate public perception.
