Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett evaluates the federal indictment of former FBI Director James Comey for an alleged threatening social media post on ‘Hannity.’
The chair of theCalifornia Republican Partyand other conservatives on social media are calling for the vice mayor of Los Altos, California, Larry Lang, to resign after he posted "86 47" on social media multiple times, including in response to one of the state Republican Party's Facebook posts.
The now-deleted posts, screenshots of which were shared by the California Republican Party and reviewed by Fox News Digital, show that at some point this week Lang updated his Facebook "cover photo" so it was the same image of a "86 47" seashell formation reading that resulted in former FBI DirectorJames Comeygetting indicted in federal court last month for threats against the president.
Meanwhile, Lang also commented "86 47" on a post shared by the California Republican Party earlier this week on Facebook. The clip included a news segment featuring California GOP Chairperson Corrin Rankin talking about a recent debate between California's current gubernatorial candidates. She argued during the segment that Democrats in the state "have no solutions," adding that Californians are ready for new leadership after 16 years of Democratic Party rule in the state.
"This death threat directed atDonald Trumpis unacceptable. Either this elected 'leader' is completely unaware of recent events, or he is somehow fueling the violence that erodes our political system," Rankin said Friday in a post on X that included calls for Lang to resign. "Los Altos deserves leaders who unite the community and focus on solutions."

The California GOP also echoed Rankin's remarks, pleading with Democrats to "stop advocating for the death of Donald Trump and Republicans."
When reached for comment about the "86 47" posts, Lang's email address returned an automatic response indicating he was "traveling" until May 4. His Facebook "cover photo" indicated it had been changed Friday.
Lang is the vice mayor of the Los AltosCity Counciland also sits on over half-a-dozen regional boards of directors. Fox News Digital also reached out to city council members in Los Altos for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
