FULL TITLE: Resistance Torches Devin Nunes’ Family After He Dared To Expose Intel Agencies’ Collusion With Democrats
Devin Nunes is precisely why we know anything about Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee's dishonest and bizarre activities. No wonder he’s a huge Democrat target.
More than 200 miles south of Sacramento, the seat of California politics, lies the city of Tulare. Home to 60,000 Californians, it’s nestled in the San Joaquin Valley, a division of the Central Valley below the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
With its economy focused mostly on agriculture and dairy and its location smack between northern and southern California, Tulare prides itself on being the “core” of California’s agricultural industry.
Another aspect of Tulare lends it additional significance. It is the hometown to California Rep. Devin Nunes, the current chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and the author of the “Nunes memo,” a four-page document released in February detailing alleged surveillance abuses committed by the U.S. government.
Before the release of the memo, Nunes had been vocal in his skepticism towards federal agencies and their handling of potential election interference during the 2016 election. His criticisms earned him a litany of nicknames from those opposed to his attacks on federal agencies, such as “Trump’s political stooge” who is simply “doing dirty work” to shield Trump, or simply a “presidential fig-leaf holder.”

How did he “torch” them?
?
Yes, I know what he done, get to the facts a little quicker, rambling Federalist!
It is an article about how Nunes and his family are being torched by the left wing activists aided by papers like the Fresno Bee
Just like the headline says
Resistance Torches Devin Nunes’ Family...
Here it is:
Last month, Gerald Nunes, Devin’s uncle, was accused of “harass[ing]” the video crew of Devin’s Democratic opponent, Andrew Janz, while Janz’s team was shooting a campaign video. The Janz team originally started shooting the video on land Gerald owned, although he had not given the crew permission to do so.
Nunes’s 98-year-old grandmother also received an unannounced visit from a Fresno Bee reporter.
Gerald confronted the crew and asked them to leave his property, and a member of the irrigation district later called the police. The crew then moved to land nearby that Gerald rents. The result of this staged filming fiasco targeting Nunes’ uncle? Janz posted a tweet accusing Devin Nunes of “send[ing] one of his relatives to stop” Janz’s team from filming and referring to Nunes and his relatives as “triggered snowflakes.”
Of all the land in Fresno and Tulare counties, Janz chose land occupied by Nunes’ family as the ideal location to shoot his commercial. Mere happenstance? Unlikely. But surely a perfect opportunity for resistance-type figures to harangue Nunes’ family members, then frame Nunes as responsible.
Nunes’ uncle isn’t the only one whom political activists have pestered. His 98-year-old grandmother also received an unannounced visit from a Fresno Bee reporter.
Meanwhile, Nunes’ wife, a public school teacher in Visalia, also has been targeted. Her emails were recently released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) due to a request from an individual in Los Angeles. Nunes’ Chief of Staff Anthony Ratekin stated, “A left-wing group used the information [from the FOIA] to file a frivolous ethics complaint against Rep. Nunes based on a willful misreading and blatant misrepresentation of the information.”
The group, Campaign for Accountability, refused to comment on whether they had collaborated with the LA individual who filed the FOIA, even when this writer contacted them several times regarding the matter. The ethics complaint is filled with sheer speculation and innuendo accusing Nunes of financial improprieties.
Torched means harassed? I thought it meant set on fire, hence my opening the thread.
I am actually expecting to hear, any day now, about horrible acts of violence by Left wing fruit bats against conservative and normal Americans.
At least your (The Federalist) title made me look.
Not only is the word choice inappropriate, but overall it’s a horribly written article.
I was in too big a hurry to click though and wondered if they actually lit them on fire like they do in South Africa.
Besides, six paragraphs without a thesis? That’s getting really old, too. They should know better since English composition 101. They’re all illiterate!
The Left shows how pathetic their thinking is. So many times they use the fraudulent fallacy of guilt-by-association to smear their target. It is an easy way to create a smear. Too bad for them that those who see this tactic know how phony it is.
Being picky about the choice of a word in a headline when our guy is getting trashed in nasty ways is petty
I have deep respect for what Representative Nunes has done. He’s a courageous and hard working man. Maybe the wrongful treatment that his family members received will be better presented in another article.
