Devin Nunes Says ‘Republicans Have No Way to Communicate’—on Fox News
WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was likely speaking to millions of conservatives on Fox News Sunday morning when he complained to host Maria Bartiromo that “Republicans have no way to communicate” now that the Twitter alternative Parler has been effectively taken down by Apple, Google, and Amazon Web Services for refusing to adequately monitor its content for incitement of violence.

“This is clearly a violation of antitrust, civil rights, the RICO statute,” Nunes added, calling on the Department of Justice and the FBI to open a “racketeering investigation” into what he views as a coordinated “attack” on Parler. “I have three million followers on Parler,” the congressman whined. “Tonight, I will no longer be able to communicate with those people.”

listing what she's working on. She (or her staff) also answer all their emails. Maybe Nunes can use the email services available to Representatives to communicate with his constituents. I don't care about his Twitter or Parler followers (well, maybe the cows )

And if that fails, there's the old-fashioned way: use the USPS.

They are welcome to communicate on Twitter and FB and I'm sure other media, but they can't organize a coup or incite a riot. Poor babies. They are really being hamstrung. I almost, but not quit, feel sorry for them No, I don't. They used social media to stage a coup of my government, to attempt to harm my lawmakers, and to destroy my democracy. Nope, I don't feel sorry for them at all.

Why don't you just storm those people where they live and work? Kick down their doors, spring through their windows. Seems the only way you people know how to communicate.
