Rep. Devin Nunes is retiring from Congress in order to be the new CEO of Trump’s media company.
From Fox News:
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., will resign from Congress at the end of the year.
Fox News has confirmed that Nunes plans to leave, with a source saying the lawmaker “got a job offer that he can’t refuse” as CEO of a newly established Trump media organization.
“Trump Media & Technology Group today announced that Congressman Devin G. Nunes has been selected to join the Company as Chief Executive Officer,” the organization said in a statement. “Mr. Nunes will be leaving the U.S. House of Representatives and will begin his new role as Chief Executive Officer of TMTG in January 2022.”
Donald Trump, Chairman of TMTG, commented in the statement: “Congressman Devin Nunes is a fighter and a leader. He will make an excellent CEO of TMTG. Devin understands that we must stop the liberal media and Big Tech from destroying the freedoms that make America great.”
Nunes will next be at the head of Trump’s yet-to-released social media platform, TRUTH Social.
Trump announced the launch of the social media platform in October, which is slated for full release in 2022.
Nunes has been a solid Republican in Trump’s corner from before he was president and has turned out be right about so much regarding the phony Trump Russia scandal.
The media always had an adversarial relationship with Nunes, treating him like a clown, and they will surely continue to target him and Trump’s new platform that he’s going to be running. But Nunes is solid and won’t waver under attack. After all, he’s already been tried and tested, which is another reason I think Trump wants him at the helm.
