Controversial Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is being challenged by a Democrat in the 2020 election, the San Joaquin Valley Sun reports.

“Nunes drew his first challenger when Amir Daryoush Rezvani Sarabi, who simply goes by Dary Rezvani, filed paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission on Friday,” The Sun said.

Rezvani was born and raised in Fresno before attending Fresno City College and California State University, Fresno.

“Dary is no stranger to the burden of student loans, the perils of an unstable healthcare system, or a tax system that hurts local businesses while turning a blind eye to the corporations erasing the middle class,” he argued on his website. “In Congress, he will fight to strengthen our water supply, make it easier for local businesses to create jobs, and make healthcare and prescription drugs more affordable. Dary will be a voice for the valley.”

During his contentious 2018 re-election effort, Nunes lost the support of The Fresno Bee — which had supported him since 2002.

Nunes is now suing the newspaper for $150 million for a story on cocaine and underage prostitutes.

The former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is also suing parody Twitter accounts “Devin Nunes Mom” and “Devin Nunes Cow.”

"How do we fix it and bring the country together?" Carlson asked, rhetorically.

"How do we make in America you want to live in? The only answer, the only solution is honesty. Let's all stop lying," he urged. "Lying about everything that matters, every day of our lives."

"That's what we're doing now, have you noticed? How many times did you lie today because you had to?" Carlson asked.

The Daily Show destroys Fox News with epic takedown of Trump’s refusal to concede

Published

on

In an ode to presidential elections of yesteryear, The Daily Show created a video montage of Fox News footage where Republicans blamed Democrats for being sore losers. Except this time -- they are doing literally everything mentioned in their very own videos.

"Democrats are being sore losers. They refuse to acknowledge they lost the election. So what do they do? They cry malfeasance, wrongdoing, criminality, fraud," the video begins.

"Democrats, more so than Republicans, seem to have a problem conceding defeat," the clip continues. "Either the election system broke down or some mystery votes are hiding somewhere."

Trump falsely claims he ‘won’ Georgia after GOP governor vows to count only ‘legal’ votes

On Monday, in response to Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) saying that he would see to it that only "legally cast ballots" would be counted in Georgia, President Donald Trump tweeted — falsely — that this means he "won" the state.

His tweet tagged GOP Rep. Doug Collins, a Trump ally who unsuccessfully ran for Senate, and Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, who previously served as governor of Georgia.
