74. I'm pretty sure I've detected them (nunes especially) try to co-opt language

From witness testimony and keywords from the hearings to either rip out or dither the impact of the original occurrence of it in the proceedings.

We pretty well know that nunes doesn't have a sense of humor over the whole cow thing, due to his lawsuit that rendered an opinion that cows can't tweet.

So, I cannot take that milk sign as some sort of self-effacing joke about nunes. Imo, it's to redirect attention for words and topics that are damaging to the republicons.

(I'm left speculating whether someone like parscale or someone near him is helping coordinate the language borrowing and in cahoots with rw media. The curves of which would range from questionable ethics, but not illegal, to campaign finance violations, etc.)
