After recently suing Twitter and an imaginary cow, Rep. Devin Nunes has now filed a $150 million lawsuit against McClatchy, a company that owns dozens of news outlets across the country, including the Sacramento Bee and the Fresno Bee.
Nunes’ lawsuit highlights the Fresno Bee’s now-viral story titled “A yacht, cocaine, prostitutes: Winery partly owned by Nunes sued after fundraiser event”.
Try as he might to wield lawsuits to make difficult stories and social media critiques vanish from the internet, Nunes is succeeding in giving these stories and characters new life with his legal actions.
The Twitter hashtag “#YachtCocaineProstitutes” began trending soon after news of the congressman’s latest lawsuit broke.
