"True American Patriot" Nunes begs for money: "I have become a constant target of attack"
Conservative, Central Valley Rep. Devin Nunes seeks money in Bay Area
https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Conservative-Central-Valley-Rep-Devin-Nunes-13309024.php
Bay Area Republicans have become part of a Central Valley congressional race, with GOP Rep. Devin Nunes of Tulare bombarding them with a fund-raising mailer, complete with his full-color picture on the envelope.
***
Nunes, who as head of the House Intelligence Committee has been a staunch ally of President Trump, opened his letter with the president’s endorsement, something not often seen even among Republican candidates in a state where Hillary Clinton received 62 percent of the vote in 2016.
But it was different in Nunes’ 22nd Congressional District, where Trump had a 52 percent to 42 percent margin, suggesting voters there want to know that the president believes Nunes is “a true American Patriot, the like of which we rarely see in our modern day world.”

“I have become a constant target of attack for the political establishment, the mainstream media, far-left special interest groups and the extreme left-wing of the Democratic Party,” he wrote. “I have a closeup view of the left’s freakish coalition — the powerful public employee unions, radical environmental organizations, myriad far-left groups and other bizarre elements that comprise the left-wing power structure.”
