In an opinion piece published Monday, the editorial board of Nunes’ hometown newspaper slammed him with a list of what it considers to be the key qualifications for his replacement.They included “a commitment to meet regularly with average citizens,” something it said Nunes had failed to do for years; the “courage to face the press,” unlike Nunes who only spoke with friendly outlets; and a commitment to facts and telling the truth.That Nunes would now work for conspiracy theorist Trump was no surprise, said the board.It’s “a career change that The Bee Editorial Board had recommended for the past several years, given how Nunes had morphed into being a leading foot soldier for Trump, defending the president at every turn in countless Fox News appearances,” it added.
