NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday celebrated the fact that “clown” Devin Nunes, R-Calif., will no longer lead the House intelligence committee now that Democrats have taken back some power in Congress.

“The House intelligence Commitee, which, Joe, you know so well, was always a bipartisan committee,” said Mitchell on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “It was never run by a clown, forgive me, like Devin Nunes.”
