Shirts with the saying on them started being sold online by various outlets after [President Donald Trump fired the former FBI director](http://time.com/4773873/james-comey-fired-whats-next/) back in May. Jimmy Kimmel said in May he was selling “Comey is my homey” shirts after delivering an opening-monologue about the firing. He said at the time he would use some of the money to send “a very nasty letter directly to the Oval Office.” At least a dozen people were seen wearing the shirt at the annual FBI event for employees and their families, [HuffPost reported](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/fbi-comey-my-homey-shirts-family-day%5Fus%5F5956f33de4b05c37bb7e8532), citing social media posts.
