Congressional Black Caucus takes sides in Ohio special election

The already-nationalized special election for a congressional seat in northeast Ohio is getting even more divisive.

The political arm of the Congressional Black Caucus is wading into the race, tapping Shontel Brown, the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party chair, over Nina Turner, a progressive former state senator. Both women are Black.

It’s the latest notable group to take sides in the Aug. 3 primary, which has quickly turned into a proxy war for feuding factions of the Democratic Party.

Brown’s coalition includes Hillary Clinton, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and pro-Israel forces. The former incumbent, Marcia Fudge, now President Joe Biden’s Housing secretary, is staying neutral — but her mother has endorsed Brown.

Stand by your words & accept where it leads you.

4. Exactly

Turner should have shown some respect to the last of what my dad called "The Civil Rights three".
