Fired FBI director James Comey said he felt like everybody hated him during and following the 2016 presidential campaign.

In an interview with ABC that aired Sunday, Comey said Hillary Clinton fans acted like he was trying to knife the female presidential candidate when he reopened the investigation into her emails, while those vying for a Trump presidency felt Comey was trying to save Clinton.

“I was out to get her,” Comey said when illustrating Democrats' perspective. “And it's an illustration of our polarization here that you’ve got the Trump camp, which I guess thinks I was trying to save Hillary Clinton.”

“It sucked. I walked around vaguely sick to my stomach, feeling beaten down. That's the way I felt. I felt like I was totally alone, that everybody hated me. And that there wasn't a way out because it really was the right thing to do,” Comey said in his first interview since being fired last year.

Comey’s book, A Higher Loyalty, will be released Tuesday, where he says he outlines his time under former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and his short time under President Trump.
