Devin Nunes sued a parody account with about 1,000 followers. Heres how many it has now | McClatchy

In suing two Twitter parody accounts for defamation, Rep. Devin Nunes amplified their audiences.
One of the accounts, known as Devin Nunes Cow, saw its followers on Twitter swell from just over a thousand to more than 135,000 in less than a day after the Republican congressman from Tulare announced his lawsuit on Fox News.
The anonymous writer behind the account continued to taunt the congressman. In one post, the author wrote, Do process servers visit dairies, or will it come in the mail?
Nunes filed his lawsuit in Henrico County, Virginia early Tuesday. Hes seeking more than $250 million from Twitter, a political strategist who is critical of Nunes on Twitter and the anonymous users behind the parody accounts, arguing the tweets damaged his reputation and were responsible for his narrower-than-usual win of his congressional seat in 2018.

(24,333 posts)You can be certain he will encourage all of us NOT to follow DevinCow... over and over again, he will encourage us not follow DevinCow. Because following DevinCow would be wrong. I went past a farm today and wondered how many Devincows were named Devincow in that field.

(28,810 posts)Chris Hayes I think it was, interviewed the cow person. she said twice that she is a libertarian republican.
Liz Mayer is her name and Hayes introduced her as a republican strategist. i can't find it on youtube but it's on msnbc.com

(1,654 posts)I logged into my never used twitter account and followed the cow! (also I live in nunes' district and I hate that he was re-elected).
Also there are some great tweets shown in the lawsuit he filed (along with a lot of whining by nunes--suck it up congress boy!!).
