Mercury Public Affairs, is partnered with Turner's own AMARE PR

WHO IS MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS:


Nina is a Corporate backed media voice with 4 Super PACS, and her own PR Company backed by an International Lobbying group, & her own political party running oppo against the Democratic Party, and she permanently lives in Maryland.

She turned down a DC lobbying position with an International CORPORATE LOBBYING GROUP when Biden appointed Marcia Fudge, which then opened up OH-11.


She owns her own PR Co, Amare Public Affairs with partners of the powerful International Lobby Group, Mercury Public Affairs.

FROM OPEN SECRETS:
Who is Mercury Public Affairs?
Who are their clients?

Would ya look at ALL THOSE CORPORATE CLIENTS!!

WHO IS MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS that Turner is so closely tied to in financing & messaging?

Imagine all the good she'll do for (ahem) the people 😉 of OH-11, if only she could grab Marcia Fudge's empty seat.

Look closer.

Most of this is directly from their own website. In many cases they're reluctant to state that the people involved are republicans.

www.mercuryllc.com/capabilities/government-relations/

Kevin Allen - Political Appointee in the Bush Administration’s Commerce Department (ITA) and the U.S. Department of State (USIA) for the 1993 Korea International Trade Exposition, Staff for the Chairman of the Republican National Committee on the 1984 and 1988 Republican National Conventions

Al Barlas - Legislative Director for then-Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon before serving as Chief of Staff to State Senator Kevin O’Toole (both republicans). Worked with the Governor’s (Christie) office on behalf of the Senator and Assemblyman. Chairman of the Essex County Republican Committee.

Kevin Marino Cabrera - Prior to joining Mercury, Kevin worked as Florida State Director for Donald J. Trump for President and the Republican National Committee, managed Trump Victory’s Florida budget.

Caroline Delleney - Prior to joining Mercury, Caroline served as the Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director to the (republican) South Carolina Speaker of the House. Caroline previously spent six and half years in Washington, DC, working for a (republican) Congressman from South Carolina in various capacities. As his Executive Assistant, she directed and briefed the Congressman on his day-to-day activities and acted as a liaison between other Congressional offices. For most of her time in Washington, Caroline served as the Congressman’s Communications Director. (note, they neglect to say who that is, it's Joe ("YOU LIE!" ) Wilson!)

Jack Deschauer - General Consultant to (republican) Congressman Ryan Costello’s successful 2014 election campaign. Managed Pennsylvania (republican) Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi’s web advertising for his campaign. Oversaw efforts in several congressional districts in New York and New Jersey for the American Action Network, resulting in the re-election of four (republican) incumbents in NJ3, NY11, NY19, NY22, and a pick-up in NY27.

Maybe someone should ask her!
Maybe the Cleveland Plains Dealer should publish & question how she got herself involved with such a powerful global RW Lobbying Group?

Mercury's high dollar COPORATE & WALL STREET client list os astonishing.
How does an advocate for the little guy, oppressed by CORPORATE, WALL STREET, & foreign influences find herself in such a circle of associates in the 1st place

The little guy, right, oppressed by (ahem) Democrats like 'bowl of shit" Joe Biden, VP Harris, "campaign rigger & wall street speaker" Hillary Clinton, & "Stupid" JamesClyburn.? That's who she cries out loud for. Right? The little oppressed people, right?

What am I missing here? Something's not lining up on the truth scale.

Seems like someone's running a RW CORPORATE backed Populist campaign against the Democratic Leaders, with the intent to splinter the only Party of the people that ISN'T bought by a Foreign RW media machine.

But Who Could It Be? 🙄

Ya know what, If anyone's loose lips will sink a pirate ship guilding itself in shiny 'welcome oppressed little people' friendly banners & looking for a heist of the long standing Democratic Party, they found the perfect one.

Waiting for The Plains Dealer to publish,
"The BIG REVEAL."

"MONEY & MEDIA, BABY!!"

Aside from the standard 'but..but..buts & the whataboutisms' that cry desperately to "DEFLECT! DEFLECT!! ..change the fking subject"!!

I'd expect there'll be nothing more said.

I do so hope they show themselves & we'll be sure to leave the explanation up for all readers to see.
