Devin Nunes Attacks Democrats For Supposedly Hijacking Intelligence Committee In 2017 Preventing Him From Looking Into China; Forgets He Was Head Of Committee Then

He's about as stupid as they come.

If you ask me, California Representative Devin Nunes is perhaps one of the most annoying members of Donald Trump’s party of minions in Congress. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all awful in their own special way. But something about Nunes is just like nails on a chalkboard to me.

I think it may have something to do with the numerous times Nunes brought up the alleged “Trump Nudes” during those impeachment hearings that I had to watch.

But despite my personal overwhelming disdain for the guy, there’s no denying that he’s just an idiot.

Evidently, Devin didn’t feel as though he humiliated himself thoroughly enough during his dear leader’s public impeachment hearings and the aftermath that ensued from there. He had to come back to Fox News for another bite as we wade our way through a literal pandemic.

On a segment with Fox personality Laura Ingraham, the California Rep. went into a rant about the Democrats, saying that they hijacked the Intelligence Committee back in 2017 and ultimately prevented him from looking into China.

“The House Intelligence Committee, the Republicans, have been running an investigation into China since 2011,” Nunes declared during the Skype interview with Fox. “We continued that all through 2015 and 16, and then lo and behold Donald Trump was elected and we were continuing it into 2017. That’s when the Democrats decided they wanted to play like the Russian nesting dolls all the time.”

“We convened a series of hearings, but the Democrats hijacked the hearings,” Nunes continued. “They blew the whole thing apart.”

First things first: Nunes’ little declaration there isn’t much more than Trump-fueled word salad to begin with. But you know what makes this hissy fit of his really rich?

Nunes seemed to forget the fact that in 2017, when the Democrats supposedly hijacked the Intelligence Committee’s investigation, he was literally the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. He controlled the whole thing. He was the “boss,” if you will — from 2015 to 2019.

If the Democrats “hijacked” an investigation, it was under Nunes’ own control.

It’s funny how these people always seem to manage to bite themselves in the butt.
