Devin Nunes Complains That ‘Media Freaks’ Are Distorting His Comments About Going to ‘Your Local Pub’

The day after he became the focus of sharp criticism for urging Fox News viewers to go out to their local restaurants and pubs in direct contradiction to CDC guidelines, Rep.

“Sean, these media freaks don’t have a clue what’s going on out in the real world,” Nunes fumed. “We have a problem out here because we have people standing in line for 45 minutes at Costco.”

“So what I was saying is you have empty restaurants,” he continued. “You can go through the drive-thru or do take-out. It’s a great place to go. The media freaks can do what they want.”
