Trump bullies Nunes from chairman into weakling

Admittedly I have never been an ardent supporter Mr. Devin Nunes. Yet he has always amazed me by getting re-elected with little or no opposition. He has never been a flamboyant speaker or a political activist for the district he represents.

I surmised that he was similar to the high school nerds who quietly go through school achieving great success in academics, but remaining relatively obscure in school.

As head of the House Intelligence Committee, it now appears an insult to compare him to high school nerds. They, unlike Nunes, continue to achieve success and display independence. It appears that the “red-headed bully on the beach” has transformed Nunes into the 90-pound weakling.

He has achieved success as the chair of the committee, yet he chooses to expound the innuendo and hearsay of the bully without the support of his committee members.
