But that doesn't mean that the internet's favorite figurehead won't

But that doesn't mean that the internet's favorite figurehead won't get a big boost after all. In March, Twitter sued Facebook for defamation. And the Guardian reported that the social media giant "has already received a large amount of media coverage over the weekend for its use of user-generated content to promote its own products and services."

So it is likely that Nunes, one of the most powerful members of the Republican Party, will be able to get his way. And that means a lot for the Republican Party.

Nunes has long been among the most outspoken critics of Trump. He's also a fierce critic of some of his party's most controversial members. "For the most part, we're getting a lot of bad press," he told CNN in 2013. "A lot of folks are trying to delegitimize our president [Donald Trump]. I think that will probably be a factor. It's about time that we learn from the mistakes of this president."

But he's not the first American to face backlash to his tweets. In 2004, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) told The Guardian that he felt it was "not appropriate" to ask for anonymity to "do the job of a senator for whom he's a great opponent." Another conservative writer, Charles Murray, also responded by calling Nunes "a racist, a xenophobe, and a bigot." And in 2016, a former Trump campaign adviser told The New York Times that Nunes was "one of the people in the room who was the first to realize that, frankly, Trumpism is not an American issue."

"You know, it's not even a political issue. If you're trying to bring in a political agenda, you're putting people who are very, very bad people under scrutiny," says Alex Seitz-Wald.

So where do we go from here? Are Trump supporters finally ready to accept the consequences of one man's words? Maybe. "We really are not in a position in history to decide who is best for our country," Murray argued. "We're very much in the process of figuring out what kind of country we want it to be. But the fact is, the fact that somebody has already spoken about wanting to take away our democracy is a pretty big deal."The government is likely to announce new powers to regulate the health sector by 2019 if it meets a goal of eliminating the "health care deficit" – a measure the Liberal Party has been urging for several years, as the health minister, Kevin Page
