Sacramento Bee Slams Devin Nunes In Scathing Editorial
The newspaper’s editorial board said Nunes has “betrayed the truth, betrayed the trust of voters and, quite possibly, betrayed our country.”
The Sacramento Bee editorial board on Monday delivered a blistering critique of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), declaring in an editorial that voters in his congressional district “deserve better.”
The newspaper’s board dissected new “explosive allegations” that Nunes ― the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee ― “and his staff contacted shadowy Ukrainian figures in an effort to betray American democracy.”
“Text messages released by the House Intelligence Committee last week reveal that a top Nunes aide named Derek Harvey – who on Trump’s National Security Council before he joined Nunes’ staff – sought direct contact with Ukrainian officials in an effort to smear former Vice President Joe Biden,” the editorial explained.
The editorial said Nunes “knew the Ukraine allegations were true because his office was involved in the same plot. But he used his position in Congress as a platform to spread lies and mislead the public” by continually defending President Donald Trump, who the House last month impeached over the scandal.
