Devin Nunes Destroyed After Insane Rant Calling Trump Impeachment Investigation A Cult

Devin Nunes Destroyed After Insane Rant Calling Trump Impeachment Investigation A Cult

"SNIP....

Nunes accused Democrats of trying to overturn the 2016 election, and said, “What we’re seeing among Democrats on the Intelligence Committee down in the SCIF right now is like a cult. These are a group of people loyally following their leader as he bounces from one outlandish conspiracy theory to another. And the media are the cult followers permanently stationed outside the committee spaces pretending to take everything seriously because they too support the goal of removing the president from office.”

Devin Nunes calling the Intelligence Committee’s fact-finding mission a cult is dispicable. I know about cults. Cults are led by maniacal narcissists who expect complete adoration and relinquishment of independent thought. I suggest Mr. Nunes look elsewhere.

Rep. Speier knows first hand about cults. Rep. Speier described to CNN after the congressional baseball game shooting what happened to her at Jonestown, “I was shot five times, and I was on that airstrip for 22 hours without medical attention. I had those moments to think about the value of life — whether or not it was going to continue — and what I would do with it.”

2. Saying "I know you are, but what am I" has become their most powerful weapon.

They have taken to just saying it before ever being accused of treason, cult, hating democracy, etc.

3. This is some serious textbook level of projection right here.

It's actually almost funny, because it's so over-the-top obvious. God, they are so fucking stupid and desperate. I really think we are getting under their skin.

4. They should have nothing to worry about. They're getting very emotional.

If they believe in the system, and if they believe in Trump's
innocence they should not get their drawers in a wad.
