Devin Nunes’ Twitter Lawsuit Gets Hilariously Mocked on Twitter: ‘A Crybaby and a Hack’
Devin Nunes filed a massive $250 million lawsuit against Twitter and several users on the platform, including an account called “Devin Nunes’ Mom.”
According to the complaint, Nunes is claiming the social media site is “shadow banning” conservative users while publishing defamatory content, including the tweets from the parody account “Devin Nunes’ Mom.”
“Twitter shadow-banned Plaintiff in order to restrict his free speech and to amplify the abusive and hateful content published …,” the complaint reads.
Nunes is seeking wants $250 million in compensatory damages alone.
Yet, news of lawsuit backfired a bit for Nunes, because shortly after the story broke, Twitter started filling up with tweets mocking him — particularly some of the incredibly embarrassing content he’s taking issue with.
Rep. Ted Lieu suggested that if he wants Twitter to be nicer, he should “do better things.”
Oh look, here's Devin Nunes trying to silence free speech. Here's a thought: if you want better social media results, do better things. https://t.co/6BvSsrN60X

Mother Jones writer Timothy Murphy noted that “Devin Nunes’ complaint is a more devastating takedown of Devin Nunes than anything anyone has ever tweeted.”

Murphy and Lieu weren’t the only ones tweeting.
Here is just some of the mockery filling up Twitter on Monday evening:
Devin Nunes filed a $250 million Trumpian frivolous lawsuit over parody Twitter accounts that mocked him. He should sue himself because this parody of a lawsuit does an even better job doing that.

Devin Nunes suing twitter because someone made a post suggesting that he is the caboose of a human centipede is awesome and I hope the media covers it appropriately

Suing Twitter and Liz Mair for $200 million is exactly what I'd expect a ding dong like Devin Nunes to do. In the lawsuit he claims that Twitter's failure to police mean memes, among other things, caused him "extreme pain and suffering." GTFOOH, ding dong.

Devin Nunes is a crybaby and a hack. He's learned from, and is every bit as thin skinned as, his boss in the White House https://t.co/cD6YOuTJqs

Inspired by Devin Nunes’ brave lawsuit against Twitter, I will be suing my grandchildren seeking $250 million for not responding to my email forwards

4. Best line from the @DevinNunes complaint: "In her endless barrage of tweets, Devin Nunes’ Mom maliciously attacked every aspect of Nunes’ character, honesty, integrity, ethics and fitness to perform his duties as a United States Congressman."

there’s an actual line in devin nunes’ lawsuit against twitter that claims twitter trolls “falsely accused Mr. Nunes of having ‘herp-face’” and I think that’s neat
