Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was the butt of the joke online Monday, after it was revealed he was suing Twitter and several parody accounts on the social networking site.

The California Congressman was ridiculed as a “snowflake” for claiming the accounts @DevinNunesMom and @DevinCow caused him “extreme pain and suffering.”

Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti noted that Nunes’ lawsuit probably won’t end well, but in the meantime, he’ll be mocked by more people on Twitter than the two accounts he is suing.

This lawsuit is not going to end well for Devin Nunes, but by the time it goes away, no one will care about it anymore.

But for now, at least some outlets (like Fox News) are taking it seriously and giving it coverage. No one should do so without offering some context. https://t.co/k7fSlfz9Za

Parody and satire are covered under the First Amendment and slander laws, or President Donald Trump would likely have sued Saturday Night Live long ago. The Nunes Mom account plainly identifies itself as a parody account, complying with the Twitter terms of service. The Cow account does not identify itself as a parody account, though presumably, users know it isn’t real since cows don’t tweet.

It isn’t clear how Nunes will prove “pain and suffering,” because he was still reelected in 2018. The complaint doesn’t talk about any money he’s been forced to spend to protect himself against the parody accounts. It also doesn’t describe if he’s been forced to take anti-depressants or attend therapy to deal with this “extreme pain and suffering.”

What isn’t funny is one of the women behind the account is now going to be forced to fork over hefty sums of cash until the lawsuit is dismissed.

Guys, I’m declining comment on this for now but DEVIN NUNES IS SUING ME. If you’d like to contribute to cover my legal expenses please donate here: https://t.co/zcYqrHn6OH

No Republican can ever call a liberal a "snowflake" ever again. This is the definition of snowflakism https://t.co/aH8ASfiEe0

Devin Nunes' complaint is a more devastating takedown of Devin Nunes than anything anyone has ever tweeted

Devin Nunes suing his own parody accounts is a pretty excellent self-own. https://t.co/pUyisVJkCE

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

Devin Nunes is a stupid fucking idiot. this has been a public service announcement

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’ attorney . . . does not seem too preoccupied with the difference between provable statements of fact and hyperbole or insult.

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 is the child we wish we could've aborted after getting fucked by Russia that one night in November 2016.

The complaint Devin Nunes filed against Twitter users actually defines the word "taint" in a legal context by referencing Urban Dictionary 🤣: https://t.co/cLqkqQc8fb pic.twitter.com/0jDIBbeXMY

Maybe Devin Nunes should examine why those around him seem to have such a low opinion of him?

"Like Devin Nunes’ Mom, Devin Nunes’ cow engaged a vicious defamation campaign against Nunes that lasted over a year."
