Nina Turner responds to Cornel West's remarks about George Floyd
Nina Turner and Cornell West once again pushing a false equivalency and even dismissing the importance of electing people of color. They are so left that they are right (wing).

Nina Turner, the former national co-chairwoman of Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) presidential campaign, in a Monday interview with Hill.TV's "Rising" praised Cornel West's comments criticizing black leaders.
Asked Monday on The Hill.TV's Rising to respond to West's remarks, Turner called them "poignant, right on time, as usual an indictment of both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party."
In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper about the death of George Floyd, West said, "It looks as if the system cannot reform itself."
He said it wasn't enough to elect black people and argued for a change from a capitalist culture.
