The hometown newspaper of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), The Fresno Bee, has endorsed the congressmans democratic opponent in 2020.
Nunes, who represents the 22nd Congressional District which includes Tulare and Fresno counties, was accused by The Bee of obsessively defending President Donald Trump rather than supporting the people he is tasked with serving.
The Bee writes: Nunes did not respond to The Bees multiple invitations for an interview, just the same as two years ago. Per its policy, The Bee will not recommend anyone who refuses to be interviewed by the Editorial Board. That is not the primary reason the board will not support him, however, Rather, it is Nunes ongoing defense of President Trump to the detriment of the 22nd District. Nunes would rather appear on Fox News shows than ensure people in Tulare and Fresno counties have clean water, affordable health insurance, and job prospect.

various frivolous lawsuits highlighting his personal dishonesty, including that he listed himself on ballots as a "farmer."
I notice that an uncle still owns a dairy farm in Tulare County, which may have helped shield him from local disapproval of his family farm being moved to Iowa over a decade ago, but all this just puts it right up front again. Of course, a majority of these people have a proven high tolerance for traitorous activities and personal betrayals by their representative.

and Trump butt licker.
