CA Rep. Devin Nunes Announces He Will Leave Congress To Join Trump Media Startup

California Congressman Devin Nunes announced Monday he will resign from Congress to join former President Donald Trump’s new media startup company as its CEO. Nunes will remain in Congress until the end of the year.

A source said the lawmaker “got a job offer that he can’t refuse” as CEO of a newly established Trump media organization, Fox News reported.

Trump Media & Technology Group announced:

Congressman Devin G. Nunes has been selected to join the Company as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Nunes is currently a sitting U.S. House Representative, representing California’s 22^nd congressional district, and formerly the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. 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.

President Donald J. Trump, Chairman of TMTG, commented, “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. America is ready for TRUTH Social and the end to censorship and political discrimination.”

Congressman Devin Nunes added, “The time has come to reopen the Internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship. The United States of America made the dream of the Internet a reality and it will be an American company that restores the dream. I’m humbled and honored President Trump has asked me to lead the mission and the world class team that will deliver on this promise.”

Since 2003, Mr. Nunes has served in the U.S. House of Representatives, currently serving California’s 22^nd district. As Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee (2015-2019), Mr. Nunes worked on important matters related to U.S. security including cybersecurity and information technology. Mr. Nunes is also a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy sounds as if he will sorely miss Rep. Nunes:

Devin Nunes is an American patriot and his service in Congress will be remembered by his singular goal of the search for truth. Every step of the way, he was proven right.

The Trump Media & Technology Group explains its vision and purpose:

“In the year 2021, the media pendulum has swung dangerously far to the left. Silicon Valley, the mainstream media, and Big Tech have begun to forcibly silence voices that do not align with their woke ideology. Big Tech platforms demonetize, throttle, and cancel those who stray from the mainstream narrative. They are not just censoring content – they are determining what can and cannot be said. By controlling how information is shared, they control the narrative. They control the future. They control you.”

President Donald J. Trump and TMTG are building a media and technology company rooted in social media, digital streaming, and more to counter Big Tech monopoly power. “TMTG intends to even the playing field by providing people with open media platforms where they can share and create content without fear of reputational ruin.”

Trump announced the launch of the social media platform in October. It is expected to be fully released in 2022.

Trump Media & Technology Group is a social media and technology company. TruthSocial, TMTG’s upcoming social media platform, will provide an outlet that encourages open global conversation without discrimination against political ideology. TMTG+, the company’s subscription-based video streaming service, is expected to include access to non-woke entertainment, news, documentaries, podcasts and more.

This sounds interesting.
