MSNBC to Dem Rep.: Should Devin Nunes ‘Step Down’?

MSNBC’s Velshi Asks If Devin Nunes Should Resign (NewsBusters)

During MSNBC’s 11 a.m. ET hour on Thursday, anchor Ali Velshi tried to turn legitimate questions raised by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes into whether there was “inappropriate” surveillance of Donald Trump’s presidential transition team by the Obama administration into a scandal that may require the Republican Congressman to resign from office.

Just prior to an interview with Democratic House Intelligence Committee member Mike Quigley, Velshi pushed left-wing talking points: “Democratic colleagues are questioning his [Nunes’s] objectivity because of his unusual move to brief the President yesterday about information that he says bothered him in intelligence reports....Some Democrats are calling for Nunes to step aside.”
