Conservative commentator Ann Coulter has called to "disband" the FBI, arguing that the bureau isn't the same as it was under its first director, J. Edgar Hoover.
Coulter's comment came during an interview on "The Howie Carr Show" earlier this week after the host mentioned controversial FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok's affair with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
Strzok and Page have been the subject of conservative ire after private text messages between the pair surfaced showing critical comments about then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 that called him "disgusting" and "horrible."
"Wasnt it more than somewhat discouraged for FBI agents, especially those in counterintelligence, to get themselves into potentially blackmailable situations like, say, having an affair with a co-worker?" Carr asked Coulter.
"It's time to disband the FBI," Coulter responded. "This is not J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, which was so good that liberals are still hysterical over it."
