'Trump lackey' Devin Nunes blasted by Luke Skywalker himself

By Tommy Christopher - October 29, 2018

A vote for Devin Nunes is a vote for the dark side.

Democrat Andrew Janz got a big boost this weekend from “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill, who told his nearly 3 million Twitter followers that Janz “actually deserves” to serve in Congress — unlike Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), whom Hamill described as a “Trump lackey.”

“Don’t just vote AGAINST Trump lackey @RepDevinNunes, whose priority is protecting his boss from the Russia Investigation,” Hamill tweeted. “Vote FOR 1st time politician Andrew Janz @JanzforCongress who actually deserves the job.”

Hamill also linked to a recent Rolling Stone interview with Janz and advised his followers to read more about the Democratic nominee, a prosecutor seeking to unseat Nunes in California’s 22nd Congressional District.

Hamill, famous for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in five of the “Star Wars” films, has waded into politics before. He once publicly slammed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and FCC Chairman Ajit Pai for supporting the repeal of net neutrality, declaring Pai “unworthy 2 wield a lightsaber.” He has also endorsed other Democrats in congressional and Senate races.
