MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough took Brian Fallon’s criticism of Rep. Devin Nunes a little further, saying this about the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee:
In retrospect, wouldn't Nunes have been better off declaring he'd been forced to "bow" to FBI pressure to keep memo classified, and let Hannity keep alive their lame conspiracy theory, rather than have the memo out and exposed as a dud?

In retrospect, Nunes would have been better off remaining a dairy farmer instead of coming to Congress and wrecking the US House Intel committee. https://t.co/d27MzpLpQA

That in no way sounds at all elitist:
Manhattan Media Joe mocks Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., for being a farmer who has the audacity to think he should perform oversight of powerful federal agencies on behalf of the people who elected him to do just that. https://t.co/JBlSTu09eD

Way to go, Joe.
Are you implying farmers don't belong in your erudite club?

Damn farmers getting elected to congress and acting like they're hot shit. Not up in here. – Scarborough https://t.co/iobeB2LG7v

They still don’t get what happened last year.
I've noticed this 'he's only a dairy farmer' talking point a few times from the anti-transparency crowd. It's really deplorable. https://t.co/hTjc7zJ42M

What an elitist snob you are @JoeNBC
P.S. Your music really, really, REALLY sucks.— Sissy Jenkins (@sissylou1) February 3, 2018
Just wow!! The LEFT doesn't even try to hide it's disdain for REAL AMERICANS. They are so above the rest of us, it is nauseating. #Elitist https://t.co/j5MvWA9Rp1

Joe really has his finger on the pulse of middle America.

weren’t most of the Founding Fathers planters and farmers? and why does @JoeNBC thinks that’s an insult?

How dare an elected person try to keep bureaucrats in line… It’s like that’s how it was intended…

Gotta love your snark, Joe. We elites should never have to put up with deplorable farmer types.
