ALL COMEDY IS CONSERVATIVE:

TWITTER GETS #YACHTCOCAINEPROSTITUTES TRENDING TO MOCK REPUBLICAN DEVIN NUNES AFTER HE FILES LAWSUIT (ALEXANDRA HUTZLER, 4/9/19, Newsweek)

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."

The article detailed a lawsuit by a former female employee of Alpha Omega, a Napa Valley winery, in which Nunes is an investor. The employee alleged that while working for the winery during a charity cruise she saw some of the guests using cocaine and procuring sex workers, some of whom were underage. Nunes was not apparently on the cruise or knew it was happening.

As a result of Monday's lawsuit against The Fresno Bee, the McClatchy Company and others, the hashtag #YachtCocaineProstitutes began trending on the social media platform on Tuesday.
