Moo

I really cannot add anything to this.  It exceeds my capability for mockery:

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) cannot sue Twitter for defamation over the contents of tweets posted by a parody account posing as Nunes’ cow, a Virginia judge ruled Wednesday.

The ruling (PDF) from judge John Marshall found that Twitter is “immune from the defamation claims,” as first reported by the Fresno Bee.

Nunes in 2019 filed a $250 million lawsuit against three Twitter accounts as well as the service itself alleging defamation, negligence, and conspiracy. One of the three accounts belongs to an identifiable person, Republican political strategist Liz Mair. The other two are clearly parody accounts: One, @DevinCow, posing as Devin Nunes’ cow, and the other, @DevinNunesMom, posing as Nunes’ mother.

Not The Onion.
