Former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who currently serves as CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group behind Truth Social, got a rude reception from MAGA fans for using the struggling platform to sell $75 bottles of "Patriot" wine from his vineyard.
During the Thanksgiving weekend the former lawmaker posted a link to the Devin Nunes Wines website featuring a 12-bottle $530 "Founders Club" deal on his wines — with individual bottles selling for as much as $75.
That did not sit well with a multitude of Truth Social users with one MAGA fan complaining, "So, you went from defending We the People to selling us your f**king wine. Figures."
Along with complaints that the wine comes from "leftist" California, others were aghast at the prices complaining they can barely feed their families in the "Biden economy."
A commenter going by "AZ Patriot" complained about the state of Truth Social which Nunes oversees, writing, "Dude, your site is full of federal trolls posting bogus links, we can’t even afford our rent, and you want to boast about how you’re an alcoholic wino, dude you’re not in touch with the movement are you?"
User Susie Fuller wrote, "Please tell me you did not employee (sic) Illegal Aliens to pick your Grapes."
"Another do nothing RINO!" wrote Beesoup72.

NomadMax added, "Devin, nothing personal when you show pictures of your fine dining and your fancy wine and liquors to people who are sitting around feeding their families with Franks and beans and boxes of mac and cheese you're really out of touch with American families. Learn to read the f****** room!"
"Do ya think we could get our country back first?" Liberty Jones asked with CSBJohnson contributing, "Really? California wine! Really? Why an extreme leftist state wine? Money maybe?…"
"Now you’re pushing wine? WTF!! T gall of you people !!! Wow," added jankow1.
Anndrea Quaill begged, "I’m so fricking tired of you guys trying to sell me stuff. Please stop."
