Devin Nunes claims Democrats harassed his wife, resulting in increased security at her school. That’s not what really happened

AlterNet logoRep. Devin Nunes of California has been one of the most litigious Republicans in Congress. He sued a fellow Republican, GOP strategist Liz Mair, for allegedly defaming him online; he became the butt of jokes for suing Twitter over a parody account, Devin Nunes’ Cow. And, he recently sued a liberal/progressive activist group — a lawsuit that, according to a report by the Sacramento Bee, has holes in it.

In the lawsuit, Nunes claimed that the group had requested the work e-mails of his wife, Elizabeth Nunes, an elementary school teacher — which resulted in her being “doxxed” and public school employees being harassed. But according to the Sacramento Bee’s Kate Irby, the school district where Elizabeth Nunes works “has no records that show public employees feared harassment.”

According to Irby, the school where Elizabeth Nunes is employed “says it has no records of teachers reporting harassment or increased security measures.”
