The claim departs from the passage: the post relays Rep. Devin Nunes saying he had 3 million followers on Parler, a personal following, not a platform-wide count. Sources record Nunes's figure but give no platform-level follower total of 3 million, and reported Parler user numbers are far higher.

What was said
… And no one was more upset about Parlor going away than a sneaky little congressman named Devin. But it's more than just the financial aspect to that. Republicans have no way to communicate. Okay, 3 million followers on Parlor. Tonight, I will no longer be able to communicate with those people. I mean, other than being on Fox News right now.

The Michael Berry Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. Nunes said on Fox News that he had 3 million followers on Parler, and PolitiFact's fact-check of his 'no way to communicate' remark reports the same figure without disputing it.[1][5]
Context. Parler's reported user totals were much larger than 3 million (about 11 to 20 million registered or total users in early 2021), so a platform-wide reading of 'Parler had 3 million followers' does not match the sources' scale, but this is a different measure from the personal follower count the post described.[2][3][4]
