Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was outed as a "fake farmer" during the 2018 election, where it was uncovered he never owned a farm and his family farm relocated to Iowa over a decade ago.
But the Fresno Bee announced Thursday that Nunes bought a "farm" to stop the criticisms of his personal branding effort. But some don't believe it's real. In the financial disclosure form, Nunes said it was valued at $0-$15,000. Properties in California don't generally go for $15,000 or less.
"I grew up here, and farmed this land," Nunes says in a campaign ad in front of a field of planted crops.
The parody Twitter account that has been sued by the California Congressman, @DevinCow, used the information to mock Nunes for still trying to pretend to be a farmer. The cow, like the Nunes family, is not in California, it too lives in Iowa.

100 square foot? That is area. Area is squared, length times width. Devy's farm is 10 foot by 10 foot. What kin… https://t.co/TXcq1WVBtI— Ain't no dog like an old dog. (@Ain't no dog like an old dog.)1565885448.0
