When asked by a Fresno Bee reporter if he planned to hold any public town halls during this election cycle, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) lashed out viciously, calling the paper a “joke” to be raising these issues.

“I actually feel bad for the people who work at the Bee because sadly it’s become just a left-wing rag,” Nunes continued. “It’s unfortunate that we’re in this situation but when the paper just becomes regurgitating Democratic talking points, it’s no longer a news outlet that’s being fair or objective.”

He added that he had held “educational forums” over the years, never answering the journalist’s question.

1. How is that stooge a Congressman in the first place?

How stupid is the voting population of that district?

[cntrfthrs]

25. as stupid as those

who voted for trump.

30. How stupid is the voting population of that district?

I have a few buddies that live in asshole's district, and not everyone there is a tReasonous, ignorant knuckle dragging idiot like Nunes is.

3. Yeah, that oughta help that little turd's poll numbers. He thinks he's hot stuff now.

I hope they bury him in November and we never hear from that little shit again--except for his indictments.

[33taw]

7. His district is solid red as of now.

[catbyte]

10. His poll numbers are dropping.

He's leading 50-45% over Janz, but 538 moved his district from "Safely" Republican to "Likely", so there is a chance. Granted, the Democrats would have to have a very good night to flip it, but it's not impossible.

14. This is encouraging news! Thanks for posting.

The sneaky, weasel Nunez is getting VERY bad press right now, so hopefully that will help erode his numbers.

I am SO looking forward to Democrats taking back the House and Adam Schiff becoming the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Frosting on the cake will be if Nunes gets booted from Congress!

There aren't words for how much I detest this treasonous bastard.

[sprinkleeninow]

31. "A-dam!" "A-dam!" 😍

He's the object of my infatuation. Well, one of them guys! But he numéro un. 🤗

Thanks or the link!

4. Translation

"I am very guilty of something, so you are a left-wing rag."

[DBoon]

13. actual translation

Я очень виноват в чем-то, так что вы левая тряпка.

[PatSeg]

15. Yeah!

He always has that hostage look about him, perpetual fear in his eyes. Putin must be so pleased with himself.

[Freethinker65]

5. So I take that as a "no"

[NCDem47]

6. Such disdain for your local paper!

Acting like a boss on the national stage with a big “F” you” to his constituents. Guess the only safe space for him out of alllllll the media outlets is Fox, maybe Sinclair, WSJ, right-wing radio and fringe websites.

[Scarsdale]

8. Give him a break.

All the hustling between meetings, and the WH at night has him worn to a frazzle. He has to report to Orange Ass after each meeting with his gop "friends". He looks sneaky, no wonder tRump chose him as his leaker. He is trying to hide the fact that his business partner is Russian. He likely received a lump sum form the Russians for his "Pac".

[Achilleaze]

9. Dumb move to pick a pointless fight with a printing press

Nunes should just man up and actually have a meeting with the people he "claims" to represent. But he's a republican, so no one expecting any honorable action whatsoever.

[PearliePoo2]

11. Back in January, The Fresno Bee editorial called him "Trump's Stooge"(and of course they're correct)

Nunes has hated the paper since then.

Of all the Rethug bastards I want to see kicked to the curb, Devin "fucking" Nunes is at the top of my list.

I'm sending another donation next week (my payday) to Andrew Janz!

VOTE! Send money if you can.

[sprinkleeninow]

32. Well, dang! Andrew's a looker as well.

[Hold up ever'body. Adding him to my list.] 😉

Now then, I will send some dough his way!
Appreciate the heads up and link.

On the East Coast, but Ima rootin' for him and y'all.

12. Putin Instructed Him

That's how you answer the press when you are a treasonous weasel.

Apologies to real weasels.

[Orsino]

16. A smart bull charges the matador, and not the cape.

Nunes is pretty much all cape.

[Vinca]

17. This guy has to be indicted for the obstruction he's causing.

[RandomAccess]

21. Response: "So's my President."

[bluestarone]

22. If you can't win any other way

Go after the press!!!! What a dumb fuck he is!!!

[elias7]

24. Left wing equals fact gathering & clarification

[babylonsister]

26. Thin-skinned?

Suck it up.

[tonyt53]

27. Wonder where he got his playbook? I wonder.

[onecaliberal]

28. The Bee is owned by McClatchy. They are balanced most of the time.

The editorial page is pathetic. That asshole Nunes has protestors outside his Clovis office every damn day. He’s a traitorous POS. The stupidity of the people here never ceases to amaze me though.

[RockRaven]

29. Imma let you finish...

but is there *ANY* other newspaper of note in Devin's district beside the Fresno Bee? What else is there? The Clovis Roundup? The Tulare Advance-Register? The Visalia Times-Delta? GTFO you clown.

A joke? A left-wing rag? Maybe so, maybe not, but at least it isn't a geocities blog or a sharpie-written cardboard sign you traitorous cowardly morally-defunct moron.

[sarcasmo]

33. Guess the answer is no.
