“The schools were just canceled out here in California, which is way overkill,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) said during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “It’s possible kids could’ve went back to school in two weeks to four weeks but they just canceled the rest of the schools.”

Saying he was “optimistic” about efforts to combat the coronavirus outbreak, the GOP lawmaker indicated that he disagreed with President Donald Trump’s decision to extend social distancing guidelines to April 30.

“I don’t believe we can wait until the end of April,” Nunes told Ingraham. “I just don’t know of any economy that’s ever survived where you unplug the entire economy and expect things to go back and be normal.”

The Republican’s flippant attitude about the pandemic landed him in hot water several weeks ago after he suggested people spend time in pubs and restaurants despite public health officials’ warnings that doing so would exacerbate the devastating outbreak.

1. The only bigger idiots than Nunes, are his constituents.

I can only hope they get tired of their relatives dying.

[Chipper Chat]

2. How his district elected this total dumbass is beyond me.

[not fooled]

39. And re-elected

they keep going back to the poisoned well.

The dumb, red part of California.

[Croney]

3. "It's possible kids could've went back to school"

Who is it that should go back to school?

[PatSeg]

10. My reaction as well

Someone definitely needs to go back to school.

[KSNY]

29. Wow...that is dumb. If only he could have gone to school and learned something...

[forgotmylogin]

40. Yeah, you first Cow-boy.

If he thinks it's safe, he should be among them and try teaching some classes.

[Walleye]

4. Could've went? Aaak! Sounds like he should've went back to school.

These are the people who want to make English the official language. Gets on my nerves. Maybe we need to give grammar tests to republicans.

[Harker]

15. Is our children learning? n/t

[trusty elf]

22. Rarely is the question asked.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. You were kinder to him than I would have been. I would have put him in with the bull.

[denem]

13. The love boat

[captain queeg]

6. That doesn't sound right that dumbfuck must have not finished 6th grade

[Paladin]

7. Way-fuck yourself and shut up, Nunes. (nt)

[MineralMan]

8. Go kiss a cow, Nunes. Right under its tail.

[MyOwnPeace]

12. Now THERE'S a visual!

[MineralMan]

33. LOL! I worked sometimes in a milking barn

at a local dairy when I was in high school. My normal job was delivering milk in the early morning, but I sometimes filled in in the milking barn. I became quite used to the hinder end of cows. As a source of sour-smelling gaseous emanations, they are pretty much unsurpassed.

It put me right off drinking milk, that work did.

[marble falls]

32. Nunes keeps his lips saved for what's under Donnie's tail.

[MineralMan]

34. That's not his tail, Devin...

[marble falls]

35. Devin isn't the brightest calf in the herd.

[MineralMan]

36. No, indeed...

[tanyev]

9. Interesting choice of words, Devin.

[eppur_se_muova]

41. Wasn't it, though.

Sigmund Freud must be raising his eyebrows in his grave.

[CaptYossarian]

11. What the hell does he care? His party wants to close ALL public schools!

Where else will the next generation of slaves come from otherwise?

That's why Cruella DeVos was picked in the first place.

Strength through incompetence. (Paraphrasing old Nazi propaganda.)

[Canoe52]

14. Devin, your cow is loose again, better go find it.

[EarlG]

16. "Way overkill"

Sounds like a pretty good description of the Republicans' coronavirus policy.

[bronxiteforever]

21. +1

[winetourdriver01]

17. Nunes

Fresno- What can you say?

[beachbumbob]

18. lol, what an idiot

[rurallib]

19. Another Trumper jenius!

[mtngirl47]

20. Let's just hope that Karma really is a bitch

and all of these idiots get theirs!

[Cirque du So-What]

23. ...

[DBoon]

24. Nunes is bitter because he needs to wait another year to complete 3rd grade

nt

[Sloumeau]

25. Is Nunes the stupidest man in America? :) nt

[ProfessorGAC]

27. He's In The Running!

But, it's a crowded field!

[Laelth]

26. Money over people.

It’s the Republican way!



-Laelth

[gademocrat7]

28. What an insufferable prick.

[SWBTATTReg]

30. Alright. Then why isn't Nunes getting out in public, eh? Where are his appearances in public ...

since he's so willing to volunteer others to go out and put themselves possibly in harm's way?

Idiot. He's dumber than the cows and a traitor to boot. His time will come, when he's hauled in front of a court and charged w/ high treason. Going behind Congress' back to report to his daddy (trump) on what Congress was doing. No telling what else he's done illegally.

[la-trucker]

31. Nunes the clown

The more he speaks the more idiotic he comes across

[Mickju]

37. What an ignorant, uneducated fuck he is!

Just another Republican who deserves to be hated.

[Cozmo]

38. Once again Nunes uses his stupidity to garner publicity

Without it, who would pay any attention to him?

[Eyeball_Kid]

42. FEMA is sending 85 refrigerator trucks to New York to serve as an expanded morgue. Oh, wait...

Am I responding to a post about Nunes commenting that closing schools is going way too far in combating the pandemic???

Maybe Death Spiral Devin can tell us how school kids don't transmit the virus and are safe in schools and at home.

Fuckin' idiot.

[Javaman]

43. dumb fuck, says what? nt

[onecaliberal]

44. The dumb fuck doesn't even live in California

[Marrah_Goodman]

45. That POS can go F%& himself with a cactus

I have zero tolerance and a boatload of rage towards these people.

[poli-junkie]

46. What a tool.

[Marcuse]
