This is how you do it! Shontel Brown is all CLASS!






Is it okay with you that Nina Turner compared Joe Biden to "a bowl of shit"?

4. I'm amazed that some people aren't fazed by the lesser of two bowls of shit thing.

11. In a way it's better than the passive-aggressive "I don't wanna see the American people voting for

the lesser of two evils" and when asked if you're actually describing Hillary Clinton as evil, mumble "Well, if you look -- No, I wouldn't describe it, but that's what the American people are saying" idiocy.

No matter how many times it was explained that when you say the lesser of two evils you're saying Hillary is evil, that's what the fucking idiom means, it never sunk in. Ugh. Better just to be honestly vulgar about it!

I think that it is perfectly fine to disagree with people on policy. It is fine and necessary to criticize our elected officials. Turner could have expressed her doubts in a way that was much more effective and less for shock value.

I have had disagreements with Biden in the past and even now. However, I would never call him a "bowl of shit". It shows a lack of seriousness, an inability to express yourself in a manner that is constructive rather than simply flame throwing.

Well, HELLO, can SOMEBODY ask her about this, please?
Deserves an explaination, I believe.

Who's exactly is Chuck Rocha to Turner?
Ask her, please.

How is this "outside when their only client is Turner?" Huh? Wth?
🤔

And yet today I got this email from Turner's campaign:

They are dishonest trash, and they are everywhere

And since we emailed you yesterday, a Dark Money Super PAC with ties to Big Oil dropped ANOTHER six figures on mailers and ads attacking Nina, bringing the total spent against us to over $1,000,000.

We’ve seen the ads. They are dishonest trash, and they are everywhere thanks to all the corporate money pouring into this race to stop us.
