WASHINGTON (AP) — California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, who was one of former President Donald Trump’s most devoted loyalists in Congress, is leaving the House at the end of this year to join Trump’s fledgling media company.

A statement Monday from the Trump Media & Technology group said Nunes would serve as chief executive officer, beginning in January 2022. The company is preparing to launch a social media platform intended to rival Twitter, which blocked Trump’s account in January following the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol.
“Devin understands that we must stop the liberal media and Big Tech from destroying the freedoms that make America great,” Trump said in a statement.
Nunes’ decision comes at a time when his political future appeared in possible jeopardy — draft maps released in the once-a-decade realignment of congressional districts suggested he would face a challenging reelection in the 2022 midterms. Those maps will not be finalized until later this month.
Nunes said in a statement: “The time has come to reopen the Internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship. The United States of America made the dream of the Internet a reality and it will be an American company that restores the dream.”
Good move , as it appears they’ll disfigure his district.
Much success and march forward to hopefully retake our country from the fraudulent criminals now in power both in Congress and Awful Office.
MAGA.
It seems Twitter realizes their huge mistake. The others Amazon, Facebook is very hard to start up a new company as a competitor. However Twitter is vulnerable for someone to start up, all they need is motivation. If Trump can be that motivator as his supporters will join and get it off the ground, it can be a real competition for Twitter and they will lose their lock on society.
Funny how Dempsey left (most probably fired) as head of Twitter, eventhough he founded the company. I bet there was fireworks in the boardroom when he pushed to throw Trump off, as many board members realized it was a mistake as per their profits and value of the company.
So he knows he will never be paid, right?
I don’t know if Nunes is the right guy but he is certainly very litigious. He files lawsuits as a reflex and loses most of them.
Isn’t Nunes the farmer who sued a cow and was thrown out of court?
Nunes helped spread Qanon antisemitic conspiracy theories. He’s crooked and in it for the gelt. Fumigate his office when he leaves Congress.
Thanks for your public service.
I hope you are prepared to have every investigator breathing down your throat. If you work for Trump they will racial profile you, and they will find a gottcha moment. You can no longer jay walk
