'Not what 9-1-1 was designed for': Devin Nunes slammed for 'calling the police'

on protesting constituents

BOB BRIGHAM 14 AUG 2018 AT 16:25 ET

Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) was publicly called out for misusing 9-1-1 by beckoning police to shield him from constituents in his central valley congressional district.

“Clovis police were called and the building housing Congressman Devin Nunes’ office was locked during a rally for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security on Tuesday,” the Fresno Bee reported.


Constituents were also protesting Rep. Nunes using his position as chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) to protect President Donald Trump from congressional scrutiny.

“Nunes is a puppet for Trump,” argued Gene Roza of the California Alliance for Retired Americans. “We pay for [his office], we should have access to it.”

You know, the Republicans talk tough, but from what I can see, most of 'em are wimpy. Nunes. Trump. Trump...who has never faced a bullet, served in the military (a yella bellied draft dodger of a rich man), never been in a fight that I know of...but boy does he talk tough and encourage others to hit each other!

If that line doesn't go into someone's political ad, well...they're not very bright.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Think about it: He needed the police to protect him from the
people he took an oath to represent to the best of his ability.

They listen to big money lobbyists and then have their staffers, who have been hired from these same companies, draft up legislation that screws us.

Then, when they go home and face a big group of constituents justifiably angry at being screwed, they freak out.

The oligarchs are SCARED of us, people.

Keep resisting and VOTE BLUE in November.
