Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) mocked Rep. Devin Nunes, saying the California Republican is paying for an "alternative news" site to attack him.
"This is pretty funny. Rep @DevinNunes is now PAYING for a fake 'alternative news' site to...attack folks like me," Lieu tweeted.
"Hey Devin, feel free to call me names because I'm cool like that," he added.
"But at least I actually read underlying documents before writing memos based on those documents."

Rather than setting up a fake news site. God I hope Janz can somehow beat this idiot in November.
