Nunes: It's ok for protestors to call Congressman Lewis the n-word. Utterly vile.

What a goddamned hypocrite. It's all good until he's criticized. What a lowlife. Thanks for nothing, CA-22.




BREAKING: Video of Devin Nunes defending protestors who yelled the "n-word" at Congressman John Lewis: "I think people have every right to say what they want. If they wanna smear someone, they can do it." Dug up by @TheDemCoalition. Nunes is an awful man.

.... but for you it is like getting biffed in the head with cotton candy.

Nunes will sue you if you look at him funny.
Fascists should be able to bounce a brick off your head without suffering any repercussions.

Just a small critique....let's keep quotes restricted to their traditional usage. Even if we know he was thinking much worse.

That's running against Nunes.

I rarely ever give to out of state candidates but I'll make an exception.

Rather like goldfish, in fact. Did a federal judge not rule that a person's utterances in public are as good as testimony in many cases?

Seems like "it's OK to say what you want" runs counter to his position in the ridiculous lawsuit contention that he has apparently dropped.
