Nina Turner..........

[mfcorey1]

On CNN with her "bitter twisted comments" on the Comey book and any social issue just rubs me the wrong way!

[Kirk Lover]

2. She wasn't too bad today.... nt

[Demsrule86]

8. She is the definition of bad...

[Kirk Lover]

12. Nope there's way worse out there...but I'll tell you one thing she knows how to get a

reaction!

[Demsrule86]

13. I despise her because she is anti-Democratic and her organization is about destroying the party.

I think there are very few worse than her.

[Wwcd]

24. That is the sole purpose to Nina today.

Another who used the Clintons & the benefit of the Democratic Party for self promotion & enrichment.

[Demsrule86]

28. Exactly right.

[Cha]

82. Nina Turner has gone from being openly skeptical of the Russian investigation

Yeah, nina is "worse" worse worse.

"political analyst" my Democratic

turner is useful to trump and corp media

[Eliot Rosewater]

128. Yep, so why would there be a SINGLE fan of hers here on this PRO Democratic party board?

[Demsrule86]

135. I have no idea...have often wondered the same thing.

[EffieBlack]

34. We need more than getting a reaction in our party

[Kirk Lover]

49. Who said I said it was a good reaction?

[LanternWaste]

97. No one has argued otherwise.

"Nope there's way worse out there..."

No one has argued otherwise, regardless of your reactions.

[LexVegas]

3. Hmmmm...what is with the former Bernie surrogates?

[Blue_true]

19. Former?

She is very much a Bernie surrogate right now. Our Revolution is Bernie's child and Nina Turner is leading it the way Bernie wants it led. Bernie rips democrats everytime a microphone is in his face, so why do you expect different conduct from Turner?

[Wwcd]

25. K & R your post.

Nina the Nader

[trueblue2007]

67. NINA + Anti Democratic Party ... so don't let her be a delegate. Keep her away from the Dem party

she is hateful woman i think. She was horrible about Hillary. Spewing lies etc.

[Cha]

83. About President Obama, too.. anything to be useful to

the fascistrumps and corp media.

[Eliot Rosewater]

129. I wonder how much damage they will do before folks will get it.

[Blue_true]

133. They still have their defenders here. Most are in hiding, but they are here.

To me politics boil down to this principle. When you are stymied, take the route that is most likely to regain an advantage for you. 30% of Americans are so messed up that nothing seems to reach them. Another 15% isn't much better. 40% hate Trump and want anyone else, 15% can be convinced to go either way, who has the better looking argument win them.

Nina Turner and her ilk are part of that incorrigible 45%, time spent talking to them is wasted. So, why bother? Focus on those that we can work with to move forward.

[Eliot Rosewater]

134. Agreed, and the folks you refer to purposely waste our time.

[CentralMass]

22. What did she say ?

5. I don't listen to that raving ranting lunatic.

[kentuck]

6. I am not impressed with Nina Turner.

She seems more anti-Democratic Party than anything else.

[George II]

79. Here are a few choice quotes from her interview with "The Nation" last year (CM is the interviewer):

CM: How will Our Revolution relate to the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC, that kind of establishment that so many activists and politicians, including you, have frequently criticized?

NT: I don’t think it is our job nor our obligation to fit in. It’s their job to fit in with us.
......

CM: And how will Our Revolution relate to progressives within government who didn’t back Bernie, like Sherrod Brown and Tammy Baldwin, if they go on to seek reelection?

NT: If they want Our Revolution’s endorsement they will seek it like everybody else and so they gotta start with the local affiliates, and if the local affiliates say that this is the person that we want to back, then there it is. There it is.
......

CM: And what about the Democratic Party at large. Do you see Our Revolution working to bring some unity to factions in the party?

NT: No. Not really.....
......

CM: Will the group be endorsing non-Democrats?

NT: You know what, yes. We are open to it. And for me, I’ve also heard the senator say this lately too
......

https://www.thenation.com/article/nina-turner-it-is-not-our-job-to-fit-into-the-democratic-establishment/

[sprinkleeninow]

84. Hay nina! Got your 'our job to fit in with you'

RIGHT HERE, SWINGIN'!

[sheshe2]

85. What?

CM: How will Our Revolution relate to the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC, that kind of establishment that so many activists and politicians, including you, have frequently criticized?

NT: I don’t think it is our job nor our obligation to fit in. It’s their job to fit in with us.
......

If we want to "fit in" to the Democratic Party as defined by 'Our Revolution' then we Democrats who have been around for eons need to suck up to them? Who the hell says they are 'us'. They seem divisive. And all I have read...not really supportive of Democrats in general.

CM: And how will Our Revolution relate to progressives within government who didn’t back Bernie, like Sherrod Brown and Tammy Baldwin, if they go on to seek reelection?

NT: If they want Our Revolution’s endorsement they will seek it like everybody else and so they gotta start with the local affiliates, and if the local affiliates say that this is the person that we want to back, then there it is. There it is.
......

The Revolution that says WE DEMOCRATS need to suck up to them for their support when they are saying that they will give full support to non Democrats. Wait What? This from a group that says we need to reach out to coddle trump supporters. We need to embrace, excite, coddle, nurture, beg, breast feed and cajole these people to vote for Democrats...yet by what I am seeing is Our Revolution saying Democrats can take a hike. It is my way or the highway.

CM: Will the group be endorsing non-Democrats?

NT: You know what, yes. We are open to it. And for me, I’ve also heard the senator say this lately too
......

Aaaah....the senator said that. Hmmm.

[cmeneer]

7. Never

Never Nina. 🙄

[tonyt53]

11. Got that right!

9. Nina have a lake house too? Big Ed got one!

Anothr voice for division. We See You Nina

If that's her purpose, then who's funding her & giving her that voice to keep the division going into this year & on thru 2020.

[EffieBlack]

10. ... needs to go sit her ass down

[CTyankee]

15. who is nina turner?

[oasis]

18. TURNER was in Hillary's camp early on, then TURNED to join Bernie.

After Trump's victory, TURNER TURNED on the Democratic Party. There is no doubt about TURNER'S ability to TURN a dollar.

[fleabiscuit]

80. Sorry to disagree, but she has only ever been in her own camp.

Those who willingly take her on show what they are made of also.

[sheshe2]

77. She comments on a book to the media, Tapper

Then when questioned, she admits she never read...but would get around to it. Whoa. Say what?

[stonecutter357]

14. What did she say ? Are there any links ?

[disillusioned73]

92. Irrelevant..

[bottomofthehill]

16. I wish she would get off her high horse and come back to the party

She was an effective voice and leader, then she got a little airtime after playing footsie with Bernie and then Jill Stein and I think she liked it.

Please, tone down the unrealistic BS and come back to the party. We need your voice.

[DURHAM D]

17. Don't want her, don't need her.

She does not trust the investigators looking into M. Cohen.

[CentralMass]

20. Do you know what she said on CNN and if so can you fill us in ?

[bottomofthehill]

29. I did not see her this am, was walking th edit before the rain

And am more than willing to admit the has been tilting towards the crazy. I did find her to be a good member of the Dem Leadership in the state house and wish that that Nina would come back. The national TV exposure seems to have made her mad with power

[CentralMass]

38. Thank you. I would like to know what show she appeared on and what she said that was offensive

[politicaljunkie41910]

48. I believe it was State of the Union.

I was getting dressed while listening to it so can't tell you verbatim, but she seemed to be in agreement with Rick Santorum in his Comey bashing and also agreed that the raid on Cohen was unfair. Also Ronna Romney McDaniel, RNC Chair was also on the show bashing Comey and his book and saying that Comey had no credibility. Jake Tapper then asked her had she read the book and she said, "No" she hadn't but she planned to. So she was bashing him based on what he said in his book, yet she admitted she hadn't read it when asked by Tapper which seemed to take the wind out of her sail. Also, a few days ago she had announced an RNC campaign to discredit Comey. It just came across as the guests all were on the same side, the RNC.

[Blue_true]

21. NO!!! She is a loud mouth kook.

As far as I am concern, she can walk into an ocean and keep walking.

[cmeneer]

23. Yes to that!

Agree completely.

[Wwcd]

26. She should stay with the Party she's shilling against democray for.

We'd never trust a word outta her two faced mouth.
She will never be one of us.
She chose her path to riches & fame by using anyone who'll fill her greedy belly.

She chose against America's free society for all its citizens.

Keep walking Nina the Nader

[BoneyardDem]

47. Her negativism seems the be the antithesis of what "progressives"....

...claim to be the important role of political choices.

Can't stand her yammering.

[Wwcd]

53. Correct. They are not Progressives. But it sure was a useful name to hijack when

..2016 needed to divide the only Party who consistantly stands for ALL citizens, & elect Putin/Trump. The Party of billionare fascists.


They have a long long way to go before they can ever claim the Progressive title.

[KitSileya]

43. Hey, I'm as outraged as anyone at Nina Turner and her obvious hatred of Dems

But I want to ask you to please think of your language. That's telling her to commit suicide you're saying, and we're better than that. Tell her to shut up, tell her to start attacking the Republicans and Trump, tell her to stop being so contemptible, if you wish, but I would appreciate it if you stopped using triggering phrases like that.

[JI7]

30. She is a troll and she lost her election

[Demsrule86]

31. I would never trust her again.

[RhodeIslandOne]

35. She went off the deep end and lost all credibility

Let her kill the fringe instead

[Me.]

27. There's A Lesson Here

Never offer donuts to someone who someone who thought their chosen candidate would become the Dem presidential nominee and she would run as veep.

[redstateblues]

32. Jennifer Granholm shut her down nicely

[Cha]

54. Hi redstateblues.. What did Jennifer Granholm

say to nina?

Sounds good! Mahalo

[CentralMass]

33. So no one seems to even know what she said. Did you watch it ?

[Wwcd]

39. Why? Nina agenda has been a constant & predictable word salad of bitter division.

Same shit stiring division for over 2 years now.

Nina's end game.
After that long a time, she holds no value but another Nader mouthpiece..

I wouldn't listen to anything Ed Schulz says anymore either.

Easy to define Nina's message since repeated it for years everytime she's got a mic.

She is not on the side of democracy for ALL.

She got a lakehouse too?

I despise her, Btw & she's constantly giving us a reason for that.
She owns that.

Nina the Nader is not what this country needs at a time when unity is so damned critical.

[KitSileya]

45. She's talking up the right wing talking point about the Cohen search warrant

*And* she's comparing it to the FBI hounding MLK, jr. She'll not endear herself to the majority of the Black community by that, talkign about Trump's lawyer and MLK, jr in the same breath is practically sacrilegious.

[Wwcd]

56. Talking up RW Trump talking points should get her name banned from DU

She has identifyied her loyalty.

Bye Nina
$$$$

[Cha]

57. Thank you, Kit! Good grief! That is

beyond stupid.

[R B Garr]

60. Yeah, all of a sudden shes a Patriot.

She is so completely mixed up. Attention is her only consistent requirement.

[CentralMass]

68. For the record, an excerpt of the transcript from the show

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1804/15/sotu.01.html

"Let me ask you. President Trump tweeting about Cohen writing -- quote -- "Attorney Client privilege is now a thing of the past. I have many -- too many lawyers and they are probably wondering when their offices, and even homes are going to be raided with everything, including their phones and computers taken. All lawyers are deflated and concerned."

You're somebody who cares a lot about civil liberties. Does this raid on Michael Cohen's office, home, hotel, his safe deposit boxes, his electronic items, does this concern you at all?

NINA TURNER, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: A little and maybe, I mean, if there is something really there, you know, then we'll -- that remains to be seen. But certainly throughout the history of this country especially when it comes to African-American folks, Black Panthers, you know, Dr. King, Malcolm X, other civil rights freedom fighters you can see that sometimes the government can go too far in its effort and be skewed one way.

Now that's not to say that the Cohen incident is parallel to that. But as American citizens we should have some concern for how this goes even if it is against somebody we don't like. It's not about like or dislike. It is about how we operate as a government.

TAPPER: In fact when James Comey was FBI director he used to keep on his desk a letter sent by the FBI surreptitiously --

TURNER: Yes.

TAPPER: -- telling Martin Luther King, Dr. King --

TURNER: That's right.

TAPPER: -- to commit suicide --

TURNER: That's right.

TAPPER: -- and he left it there to remind himself of the abuses.

TURNER: That's right. They wired -- you know, you're talking about taking down statues. I mean, to have a building named after Hoover for God's sake, J. Edgar Hoover, you know, we should think about that as a country.

GRANHOLM: But then on the other -- the flip side of that, of course, is that you now have a president who is disparaging law enforcement at the highest level.

This attack against Comey and the attack against Rosenstein is an attack against Mueller. And he's trying to conflate it all.

And, you know, Comey in his book I mean, believe me I certainly had issues with how he handled the Hillary Clinton thing. That was a difference of opinion.

I'm not saying that he liked. I'm saying that it was -- it was totally inappropriate to release all that information while there is also an investigation going on into Trump and none of that came out during the election.

TURNER: We can talk about both of those things.

GRANHOLM: No. We can't -- we can talk about that. My point about that is just saying that Comey even in his book, so it's a really important thing which is that those who are standing by and allowing this president to attack someone like Bob Mueller are really accomplices and he is really referring I think to the people like the Republicans in Congress who are allowing this to happen. TAPPER: Let's -- while you are talking about Sarah -- about the White House and the president attacking Comey let's take a listen to what I think under any circumstances was an unusual attack from the White House podium against the former FBI director by Sarah Sanders this week."

[AtomicKitten]

102. Thanks for posting this.

Her responses to Tapper's questions were reasonable and thoughtful, the knee-jerk posts here not so much. Nina commited the cardinal sin of supporting someone other than the establishment corporate/donor-centric choice, and damn if they're ever going to let that go.

Nina is a powerful voice for the people, advocating for progressive policy over the neoliberalism the Democratic Party now embraces. I am with her 100% in that endeavor.

[R B Garr]

120. Thanks for bringing up Hillary which just shows Nina's phoniness and

why she was speaking to a certain audience to reinforce some empty talking points that support anything anti-Democrat. Hillary has absolutely nothing to do with this particular episode, but you bringing her up illustrates that Nina's special audience got what she was saying even though Nina was completely babbling in the context of the Sunday show panel she was on. That is really the point here, and why Nina's comments were so obviously misplaced.

If Nina were so CONCERNED about the FBI, she would have been addressing why the Cohen raid even happened. Reality is that the FBI actually did screw Hillary over, but Nina is not CONCERNED about the FBI overreach in *that* instance. She is only concerned about some contrived FBI attacks on Trump's lawyer. That is how you can tell she is speaking to a limited audience.

Thanks for confirming what we all heard, but she tried to gloss it over by a phony analogy about the FBI and MLK and Malcolm X. Uh, no.

[ismnotwasm]

36. Who?

[BlueDestiny]

37. I love Nina!

A strong progressive black woman is a beautiful thing! I wish Melissa Harris Perry was still on MSNBC. One to watch is Tara Samples, that girl is going places!

[Wwcd]

41. Nina is another Nader. That's all she's in it for. That's nothing I would support.

[BlueDestiny]

42. To each their own but she's not a Green

[Wwcd]

44. She isn't a lot of things. But the method to her madness is the same.

Party hopping is how she got where she is.
What her true beliefs are is debatable.
Maybe Nina's revolving door of political seeking fame has "evolved"

$$$$$$$

[R B Garr]

55. So true. Her anti everything Debbie Downer routine

makes her sound completely mixed up and incompetent. She sounded laughable this morning.

[Wwcd]

61. Word salad, her inconsistancy of message give her incompetance away everytime.

[KitSileya]

46. She supported Jill Stein in the GE.

What else can she be? Besides a Trump-enabler, that is?

[Wwcd]

50. This Jill Stein?

Familar faces at her table..
Thanks Nina for showing your true Party loyalty.

[KitSileya]

51. Yeah, that Jill Stein.

She voted for her in the GE, if I'm not much mistaken.

What Nina Turner said can be seen here (it's around the 4:20 mark):

https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/04/15/sotu-panel-full.cnn

[BlueDestiny]

69. This is untrue

In 2016 she was offered the roll of running mate to Jill Stein but turned it down citing her commitment to the Democratic Party.
http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2016/08/nina_turner_turns_down_offer_t.html

[R B Garr]

73. Wow! Bill Clinton helped Turner raise money for her

failed Ohio secretary of state bid. Well, well, well. Isn’t that interesting.

[Wwcd]

126. Committment to the Dem Party she's been licking her chops at destroying?

That Dem Party?
What does anyone think Our Rev is for?
Its intent all along has been to unseat every Dem they can, & cause a split in the voter block that would have helped keep Trump out of the Presidency.
She has her own agenda & its not about loyalty to anyone but her self promotion of cockeyed ideology, borrowed in pieces from others before her and compiled into an idea that serves her own ambitions before the people she claims to stand for.
She's basically full of it when she claims "Committment to the Dem Party".
Our Revolution proves that point.


That Dem Party? Just more word salad from Nina.
She, like others' "committment to the Dem Party was a useful tool for "Money & Media".

[George II]

63. I don't think much of anyone who has openly said she'd support some republicans against Democrats.

[JI7]

52. She isn't a progressive anymore

[Wwcd]

59. It sure was a handy title while she was waffleing between Party loyalty.

Climb that ladder Nina!

[BlueDestiny]

70. According to who?

[Cha]

72. According to everyone with their eyes

and ears open.

[BlueDestiny]

75. Which issues does Nina support which are not progressive?

[Cha]

76. Right now.. the one where she gives trump cover for

his lawyer getting raided.

Like I said.. Turner is useful to trump and the corp media.

[BlueDestiny]

87. That's not an issue, it's a point of view

Health care, education, wages, those sorts of things, issues.

[Cha]

89. It most certainly is an "issue".. Nina makes it one.

Link to tweet

Link to tweet

[Adrahil]

116. Ensuring the President isn't above the law isn't an issue?

And if she cared at all about the issues you listed, then she would be focused on fighting the orange asshole.

She is a professional gadfly. That's all. She like to hear herself complain. Especially about Democrats.

[R B Garr]

119. It is definitely an issue -- it is the issue of the day. Democracy and

how it was attacked. She reveals her phoniness when she's more CONCERNED about how the FBI treated Trump's lawyer than how the FBI treated our nominee, Hillary Clinton. When she is more invested in umbrage about Trump's lawyer, nothing else she says is credible and is a reflection of her motives.

All those "issues" you mentioned are what every politician discusses, so she gets no special ribbons for discussing what every other politician is either campaigning or elected to discuss.

[BlueDestiny]

121. No it isn't an issue

and by that I mean policy. It's TMZ politics is what it is and taking Nina's words and spinning them.
To many of us she isn't a phony either and is the real deal. It would seem that some have a problem with a black woman with a powerful voice and when you can't win on policy, you attack.

The FBI is not our friend nor has it ever been and this is what you're missing with what Nina is saying. MLK, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, ask them how they feel about the FBI.

[R B Garr]

123. Being a concern troll for a racist's lawyer certainly isn't a strong voice.

It's a very predictable "TMZ" tactic for someone who has no voice but is trying to bring attention to herself. That's it.

Speaking of women, Nina didn't care about the actual, proven tactics used by the FBI to harm Hillary Clinton, but instead manufactures some outrage about the FBI overreaching for a white racist President's lawyer. That's how it's easy to see this isn't about the FBI at all, so to throw MLK and Malcolm X in with her TMZ tactic, she just shows that she is willing to be a patsy for the Trumpies. That is certainly not a strong voice.

[ehrnst]

124. +1000 (nt)

[Eliot Rosewater]

130. It is a pretty big ISSUE for me when someone excuses the traitors actions.

122. Not an issue? Really?

I guess if you want to offer up your own definitions for words, that's one thing.

But don't expect people to understand what you're talking about.

[Cha]

71. Ugh. Nina Turner is useful to trump and corp meida..

That's Nina's role.

[BlueDestiny]

88. A strong vocal black woman who talks progressive values

isn't useful to Trump at all. If anything it would appear some are rather afraid of her including Trump.
I don't get the outrage about what she said either. The FBI is not our friend and never has been. Under Hoover, they said MLK was a Russian communist spy, targeted MLK & have a history of targeting black activists (Black Panthers.) Nina is a social justice warrior fighting the good fight and I admire that.

66. Thank you, radius..

[EffieBlack]

74. Yup nt

[disillusioned73]

93. So, someone calls..

a strong black women a "token" & you don't have a problem with that.. surprising considering all your racial sensitivity last week.. your inconsistency is showing..

[EffieBlack]

95. Nope

I don’t have a problem with her being called a token, because I think she IS a token - and not only a willing (albeit not very effective) one, but one who tries to exploit it to her own advantage for all it’s worth.

Here’s a clue - being “racially sensitive” does not mean defending every black person in every situation regardless how they behave. It also means calling out one of my own when I think they deserve it. And Nina Turner deserves it.

But thank you for your concern about how I choose to speak about other black people. If nothing else, it’s nice to know you’re paying attention to my posts.

[disillusioned73]

96. Well..

if you have a problem with what Senator Sanders said which required a lot of reading into and/or interpreting what he said (aka spinning & smearing) vs. this, which is an outright offensive term directed at a prominent WOC.. then it is obvious you have an agenda and care little about "racial sensitivities"

[EffieBlack]

98. I'm "racially sensitive" enough to know that black women aren't delicate snowflakes

who can never be criticized.

I'm also woke enough to know that one of the fundamental elements of tokenism is the hope that the token's black skin will stave off or blunt any valid criticism of the token or the cause she represents.

[disillusioned73]

115. What I don't understand is,

if your gonna chose to be a token.. why take the difficult route to tokenism?? Why stand on principles?? Why not go on bended knee to TPTB?? Isn't that the whole point?? I mean, if your criticism is that she doesn't represent what she believes, that she is just using her "black skin" to advance herself it makes little sense to go the untraditional route and support the so called "outsider".. a bit of a contradiction.

& no she is no "snowflake"..

Link to tweet

[EffieBlack]

118. I think she DID take the easy route.

That’s why I have so little respect for her.

But obviously, you like and respect her, and I’m not gong to change your mind nor you mine, so it is what it is.

She strikes me as someone who believes speaking her interpretation of the truth to be paramount regardless of who could be damaged.

104. I never knew of her until

I started reading all the crap she was spewing about President Obama and of course Hillary.

Nina Turner is trump's useful tool

106. Way Different Then

Maybe an alien took over her body...

108. Whatever happened I hope she realizes what she said

on tv yesterday wasn't very bright. A lot of people were offended.

86. She is one of the people whose appearance on any TV program guarantees

a channel change. Why would anyone voluntarily listen to her nonsense?

91. Lover her...

100. Nina is great and I deeply admire her

As a WOC myself, Nina speaks for me and millions of others. For too long we haven't had a voice that spoke for us and told it as it is. Finally we do. I understand that may scare some people and it should.

103. She isn't on our side

the more people who wake up to this, the better...

107. I remember Nina when she was just a solid outspoken politician from Ohio.

She was outspoken against what Republicans were doing in her state and in Wisconsin. It is sad to see how far she has gone into the dark underbelly with her constant criticism of the Democratic Party. I am not saying that criticizing the party is always wrong, but she seems to spend much much more energy doing that than attacking the actual party that is ruining the US.

113. Ah, the Irrelevant Ms. Turner

[Proud Liberal Dem]

117. Isn't she the one

who loudly complained about the DNC snubbing her by offering her group donuts?

127. This is why we should NEVER FORGET those so-called self-identified progressives who refused to vote

for the Democratic nominee, and did everything to undermine the Democratic nominee.

They can go to hell as far as I am concerned, and when 2020 rolls around I will do my part to insure that the Democratic nominate a Democrat, and not someone who only becomes a Democrat to satisfy their political ambitions.

I really have had it with their purist bullshit.

It is way past time for the Democrats to get rid of Open Primaries, and unDemocratic caucuses. I do NOT want non-Democrats determining who will be the Democratic nominee, which is what Open Primaries do.

For the who are unaware of Dan Lipinski, he was the extrememly conservative Illinois Democrat who won the primary against the progressive Democrat, and the main reason for that was because of their Open Primary, and republicans crossing over to insure the conservative Democrat would win the Democratic nomination.
