Brian Fallon, the press secretary for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, flatly rejected former FBI Director James Comey’s call to support Democrats in the 2018 midterm election.

In a terse tweet early Wednesday morning, Fallon said Democrats want nothing to do with him.

“Democrats don't want your endorsement, but thanks,” Fallon, now executive director of Demand Justice, tweeted.

Fallon was responding to a tweet from Comey in which he urged those who support American "values" to cast their ballots for Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.

“This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that ‘Ambition must ... counteract ambition.’ All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall,” Comey tweeted Tuesday evening. “Policy differences don’t matter right now. History has its eyes on us.”

Clinton and her allies have repeatedly blamed Comey for contributing to her 2016 election defeat because he announced the FBI was reopening its investigation into Clinton's unauthorized email server less than two weeks before the contest and closed it again just days before it took place.

Comey was fired by President Trump in May 2017. His tweet Tuesday followed Trump's controversial press conference performance in Helsinki alongside Russia President Vladimir Putin during which he appeared to take the word of his Russian counterpart over that of the U.S. intelligence community about Russian interference in the 2016 election. A day later, Trump said he misspoke when he claimed he did not see why Russia would have meddled in the electoral process.

Comey, who in April said the Republican Party "left me" after it embraced Trumpism, tweeted Monday that Trump had "sold out our nation on an international stage" and called on the president to "sit down with a serious journalist."
