California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes says he will retire from the House at the end of the year to join Trump's social media company as his new propaganda master.
Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California announced Monday he'll leave the House in the coming weeks to become CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group.
"I'm writing to let you know I've decided to pursue this opportunity, and therefore I will be leaving the House of Representatives at the end of 2021," Nunes said in a letter to his constituents.
Moments after his statement, the Trump Media & Technology Group released its own saying Nunes would be its chief executive officer.
Nunes, who faced the threat of a more-Democratic district through redistricting ahead of next year's midterms, is a close ally of former President Donald Trump. He previously served as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee when Republicans were in the majority, during which he led efforts among Trump's allies to discredit the FBI's Russia investigation and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
I mean, I can't blame the guy. He's being redistricted out of the House along with several other Republicans in the state. But let's remember, Trump gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his loyalty, so of course he was going to work for the guy after his House career was all but eliminated.
This way he can simply create propaganda for Trump's 2024 run rather than having to deal with Congress and bypass the middleman.
Nunes, who for more than half a decade has tremendous access to the most sensitive national security secrets, opting to become a formal Trump propagandist is going to be some serious shit.

Trump couldn't have asked for a better in-house Minister of Propaganda for his 2024 run. Of course, that Trump media enterprise Nunes is joining is already under federal investigation.
And let's remember that convicted Ukraine fixer Lev Parnas is ready to cooperate too...against Nunes.
Just saying.
Stay tuned.
