Devin Nunes Calls Colbert's Jokes About Him A 'Danger' In This Country

Devin Nunes Calls Colbert's Jokes About Him A 'Danger' In This Country
Mary Papenfuss, HuffPost March 3, 2018

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said Saturday that Stephen Colbert’s jokes about him are a “danger” in this country.

“This is the danger that we have in this country,” Nunes said when Fox News’ Neil Cavuto asked how he felt about the jokes.

“The left controls not only the universities in this country, but they also control Hollywood in this country, and the mainstream media, so conservatives in this country are under attack ... they attack people who are trying to get to the truth,” the head of the House Intelligence Committee added.

I think the Dumpster fire in-charge is washing away some of the BS lies of the reich wing.

His BS is just too too much.

He's a fuckin nutbag, its plain to see. Of course the hardcore racist Putin loving freeper base will never turn on Twitler no matter what he does or says.

Stephen Colbert takes a special joy in knowing that he's getting under the skin of the subject of his joke. I love Colbert.

He's placed himself in a suit of shining armor and dreams of saving the world, apparently.

Down, down, Devin. You are still wet behind the ears and probably a few other places, as well.

The universities, msm, ARE NOT controlled by the Liberals. But you are just gaslighting the Faux news viewers.

Oh and Devin, you are trying your hardest to bury the truth. Just ask your co-chair Adam!!!

Their "complicity" isn't based on principle. It's based on covering their asses.

Colbert's going to have a field day with this one.

Nunes saying that conservatives are "trying to get to the truth" is like saying the Titanic hit an iceberg was because it wanted to remove the danger the iceberg posed to shipping lanes.

When a right-winger says "the left controls not only the universities in this country, but they also control Hollywood in this country, and the mainstream media...", substitute "Jews" for "the left".

The JBS has become the modern Republican Party.
