Stephen Colbert creates Devin Nunes parody Twitter account in response to lawsuit

Stephen Proctor

In response to Devin Nunes (R-CA) naming two parody accounts in his 250 million dollar lawsuit against Twitter, on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Tuesday night, Colbert announced he has started a parody account of his own.

“Here’s the thing, he’s wrong,” Colbert started by saying in response to Nunes’s claim Monday night on Hannity that it’s against Twitter’s terms of service to have fake accounts. He continued, “That’s why it is totally legal for us to make @DevinNunesSkin. This is a real account. An actual account.”

In his first tweet, Colbert used only two words to mock Nunes for filing the lawsuit.

The two accounts named in the lawsuit, @DevinNunesMom, which has since been suspended, and @DevinCow, which has gained hundreds of thousands of followers since the lawsuit was filed, are accused of attacking Nunes’s character. But that didn’t stop others besides Colbert from jumping on the Nunes parody account bandwagon. Several other parody accounts have sprouted up since Nunes called attention to the existing ones with the lawsuit.
