Analysis: The ridiculousness of Devin Nunes suing 'Devin Nunes’ cow' — and what it really signals
By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 19 at 10:02 AM There is a Twitter account called “Devin Nunes’ cow” that has tweeted nasty things about Rep. Devin Nunes . Evidently, the account is not actually run by a cow belonging to Nunes. Nunes is now suing his purported cow.
Here’s a sampling of the tweets he alleges are defamatory, using language directly from the lawsuit Fox obtained: The legal merits of the case appear highly questionable at best. The standard for defamation of a public figure such as Nunes is much higher than for an average person. One expert The Washington Post talked to cited the landmark Supreme Court case in which Jerry Falwell sued Hustler magazine for a satirical advertisement in which his likeness was engaged in sexual activity with his mother in an outhouse.
