Twitter gets YachtCocaineProstitutes trending to mock Republican Devin Nunes after he files $150 million lawsuit
California Representative Devin Nunes is being mocked on Twitter after filing a $150 million lawsuit over a May 2018 story featuring the headline: “A yacht, cocaine, prostitutes: Winery partly owned by Nunes sued after fundraiser event.”
In the court filing, Nunes alleged that one of the newspaper’s reporters conspired with a political operative to derail his oversight work into the Hillary Clinton campaign and Russian election meddling. In his complaint, Nunes said that the reporter “chose to emphasize the words ‘woman,’ ‘Devin’ and ‘cocaine’ in her tweet to defame him and “injure his reputation.” However, there is no emphasis of particular words in the original tweet, and it appears a screenshot of the tweet that contains bolded words stems from how Twitter's search function operates.
Scott Dworkin, the co-founder of The Democratic Coalition, wrote on Twitter that the hashtag should “be the new motto for the Republican Party. It fits.”
