Nunes Calls on DOJ, FBI to Launch RICO Investigation Over Parler

Beth Baumann / Townhall Tipsheet

House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Sunday called for a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) investigation into Big Tech stifling the new social media platform Parler. 

"The effect of this is there is no longer a free and open social media company or site for any American to get on anymore because these big companies – Apple, Amazon, Google – they likely destroyed what was likely a billion dollar company," Nunes explained to Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "Poof. It's gone."

The congressman explained the concern is bigger than a company taking a financial hit. 

"Republicans have no way to communicate. It doesn't even matter if you're Republican or conservative. If you don't want to be regulated by left-wingers that are at Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, or you get shadowbanned, nobody gets to see you, they get to decide what's violent or not violent. It's preposterous," Nunes said.
