Prayer Request For Nunes, Trump Rightly Declares Him A Hero
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is receiving death threats on a daily basis.
A report Thursday from Your Central Valley, which covers news in Fresno, Calif., said Nunes is one of a few lawmakers who contend with such a regular danger.
"We take strong precautions, one of the concerns we have is not necessarily me, but people who attend the event that I'm at, and that's the biggest challenge right now," Nunes said.
Nunes' office did not immediately return a request for comment about whether they have notified House leadership or the House Sergeant at Arms about the death threats.
The interview comes days after the San Luis Obispo Tribune, another news outlet in Nunes' district, reported Nunes is attending a local Republican Party fundraiser for which invitations with an "unusual" message are being sent out.
Due to tight security issues, please DO NOT POST anything about this event on your social media: Not your website, Facebook, Twitter nor any other! Thank you!” the invitations say.
The Fresno Bee reported recently the Fresno Republican Party had to reschedule a dinner event in April, where Nunes was set to be the keynote speaker, due to a social media fracas over his $250 million defamation lawsuit against Twitterthat also targeted some of its users, including parody account "Devin Nunes' Cow."
Nunes told Your Central Valley he won't be so easily deterred. "If you've slandered me, and people know who you are, they know their fake stories that they wrote," Nunes said. "Maybe some people stand for it, but I'm not going to stand for it."
Nunes, a nine-term congressman who is the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, recently put together eight criminal referrals as part of an investigation into origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.
