A parody Twitter account pretending to be an unhappy cow living on one of Devin Nunes’ farms attacked the Republican as a “treasonous cowpoke” and “udder-ly worthless” during the 2018 campaign. Now Nunes wants $250 million in damages from Twitter.

A parody Twitter account purporting to be owned by an unhappy cow living on one of Rep. Devin Nunes’ Iowa farms attacked the California Republican as a “treasonous cowpoke” and “udder-ly worthless” during the 2018 campaign.

Among other things, Nunes, from Tulare, cited a variety of tweets that used crude humor to accuse him of criminal behavior, including soliciting prostitutes. But if Nunes hoped his lawsuit would intimidate his trollers into silence, the move may have backfired. Twitter has indicated in the past that parody accounts do not violate its rules as long as the profile or user name states that the account does not belong to the person it’s satirizing. The company has denied a political bias but has not commented specifically on Nunes’ suit.

Awe... poor DevinNunes 😢... Tell Trump to get the Russians to explain it to u 👸🏻❄️ 🙄 📣HEY EVERYONE...CARFUL DEVIN DISCOVERED THERE’S TOLLS ON TWITTER 🤦🏽‍♂️

Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find DEVIN NUNEZ THE COW.

GOP has Mad Cow Disease because DEVIN NUNEZ is hurt.

Devin constituents should be proud! first lawsuit on a cow! JUSTICE! P.S. NO COLLUSION! :}

CowTrumps is in solidarity with all parody

GunReformRyan 😂😂😂😂

snicker

Algorithms have been designed to censor political speech. That’s all I want to see along with Nunes. I’m also losing followers and likes due to the algorithms. DevinNunes

Hilarious

Sue the leftists into bankruptcy.

I followed them yesterday!!

I have no doubt Trump told him to file this lawsuit. Trump is his handler. Think its funny GOP thinks they are singled out to be made fun of, but if they actually acted like decent human beings it wouldn't happen. That is the problem. DevinNunes

Idiot

All of you commenting should be afraid that our constitutional rights are being taken away from Americans little by little. Twitter is taking away our 1st amendment right. PAY ATTENTION WAKE UP!!

Bad headline, but I expect nothing less from this 'news' source. Is that the only reason why he's suing? For being 'mocked'?

What a fucking baby

Is Twitter being mean to little Devin? Well Devin, you’ll just have to play by yourself.

Loooool. Mooooo

Celebrity laws prevail.

'Musicals on the Stars' book is hot. Order via Xlibris, Amazon and/or Barnes and Nobles.

Snowflake.

He should just Moo-ve on

This is Udderly ridiculous!

What a thin skin this guy has can you say wussy. These are the same people who insult war veterans, people of color, different religions but can't take the heat then get out of politics.

more LIEs from the liberal media Nunes is suing Twitter for trying to interfere in elections by censoring conservatives while allowing Liberals to malign conservatives via fake accounts FakeNewsMedia

Hi

Yay, more news about me!!!!!!!!

I know how about not getting on Twitter or if you won't do that block them, idiot. Just after some fast money, just like Trump, sue happy.

Best thing he can do for the parody accounts - giving them global coverage and free advertising. $250million dollars coz they hurt his feelings?

Just send personal letters to this dude expressing your opinion. Person to person. No public expression.

Any predictions on how long it will take for this case to be thrown out of court?

Where is the family dairy, California? Not in California that's for sure. Devin is a fraud.

Poor snowflake. If he doesn’t like the heat, he should stay out of the kitchen. Politics is a dirty game, and he’s part of the filth. If he stayed out, nobody would even know his idiotic name. You copy, DevinNunes ? 🐒

Wow LastWeekTonight is going to have a field day a week from Sunday with this TreasonousIdiot DevinNunes

Yeah Dennis gave America so many things to criticize him about his behavior is despicable we need to get this man out of office as soon as humanly possible vote him out he is dishonest a liar not good for America he only cares about His self

What in the hell is wrong with this man Dennis Nunez? If Dennis ever needed to sue anybody he should sue him self for being such a hypocritical bastard running to the White House to report everything to Donald Trump when he was supposedly trying to investigate him hypocrite

Obscurantism

🇨🇦🇨🇦😱😱😂😂 You need to have a sense of humor...

Breaking: Devin’s 🐄 just filed a sexual harassment complaint.

“So far it’s mainly just drawn followers to the accounts” Oh, no, no, no. This entire Nunes moo-vement has been udder-ly a-moo-sing! This udder nonsense by DevinNunes’ law suits has provided confir-moo-tion that he’s a cow pie! DevinCow

Public shaming I approve of 🤙🏽

Just when you think this man could not be any more of an idiot! He is such a weasel! Californians, please vote him out!

Go after them Devin!!! I hope you prevail!!!!

The Nunes effect

Someone is badly in need of money?

He really is a jackass....those in his district who reelected him should be embarrassed. He has given cover to DJT and his antics & now he's acting like a child...given his idol's tweets he needs to man up

“The Free Speech Party”

oufenix Did the old orange bull put Nunes up to his latest stunt. If Nunes isn’t more careful with his admiration of Trump, it’s going to put him back in the dairy shoveling cow muck. The dairy barn is more suitable for Devin than D.C..

Awwwwwww poor baby got his feelings hurt 😢

😂

And spawned many more. 😂

Keep him out of Washington...

😆😂👏🏻

It's interesting...

What a drama Queen.

🐄❤🐄❤🐄❤🐄❤🐄

Can the American people or California's 22nd Congressional District voters bring legal action for not representing them, why is he on twitter.

He also has a thousand new trolls. “That’sWhatDevinNunes’MomSaid” and many others.

🤔

Follow DevinCow CowAnon
