Others named in the lawsuit include GOP operative Liz Mair, Mair Strategies, “Devin Nunes’ Mom” (@DevinNunesMom) and “Devin Nunes’ cow” (@DevinCow), two parody accounts that mocked the Trump ally and California Republican.
I see that Mr. Nunes got his legal advice from James Woods.

Incidentally, James Woods is a known cocaine addict.

Why is this a problem?

Quote
Twitter users may clam up a little after hearing about a decision by an L.A. Superior Court allowing outspoken conservative Hollywood celebrity James Woods to proceed with a defamation lawsuit against a man who tweeted Woods was a “cocaine addict.”

Anonymous twitter user "Abe List," whose social media profiles say he is a Harvard-educated partner at an L.A.-based private equity firm tweeted in response to Woods’ conservative tweets,  “Cocaine addict James Woods still sniffing and spouting."

Nunes and other public figures who sue for defamation should really Google "Streissand Effect" first. They're probably not going to win and will ultimately end up worse for it.

Hypocrite.

A reminder that when reactionaries demand "free speech", this is the only free speech they really support.

One of the tweets Devin cites as libelous in his lawsuit is that he's "worse than Jacob Wohl", can't wait to see Supreme Court weigh in on that.
