I found this older video of Nina Turner...

[Archae]

On the Russia Today network, Putin's propaganda outlet.

The Tweeter is correct, she does NOT belong in congress.

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Am I the ONLY one who every time I see her name it says TINA Turner?

[abqtommy]

5. That's what I just did! I read the op heading and processed it as TINA Turner! But then I am

a graduate of Wottsamatta U.

[CurtEastPoint]

9. Me, too! What frat, bro? LOL!

[Hortensis]

22. Maybe there's a clue in that to why Ms. Bowl Of's polls aren't worse.

I remember when a "John Adams" on our ballot won without campaigning at all. Tina Turner is a decent and honorable woman greatly admired by many.

2. Haven't seen a viable excuse here at DU yet, for turner.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Isnt she on record for basically saying Biden/Harris are bowls of shit?

I just saw this on Twitter and her supporters complaining about the age of the video.

But didnt she recently say that about our fine Prez/VP? If so, what in GODS FUCKING NAME is anyone who uses the word "progressive" in their identity doing supporting her? They learned NOTHING from what happens when you BASH Democrats?

Please, if there are any of her supporters here please tell me why it is OK for her to say that?

[marble falls]

4. "Basically"? She said it explicitly about Joe Biden.

[Polybius]

12. Didn't she say it during the primary?

Unfortunately, a lot of mean things were said during that season. Now, if she said it after the primary, that's 1,000 times worse.

[marble falls]

13. You try saying that here during primary.

[Cha]

18. Good answer.. but she said it

on July 27, 2020.. the primary was Over.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. Primary? Why would she say anything like that about one of the candidates of HER party

in the first place?

Even Bernie didnt call him that or for that matter similar about Hillary. He did unfortunately not pushback much when others did.



OTHER than Trump can you name a single American politician in the past 50 years who said that or similar about a candidate in their own party? WHEN WILL people wake up...

[Cha]

15. She said it July 27, 2020.. the primary was OVER!

38. And they are out now together on her campaign? WHAT IS FUCKING WRONG WITH

people?

Why isnt HE exposed for this BIG TIME!

[Demsrule86]

16. She said it after the primary and before the election...so I am happily going to vote for

Shontel Brown...

[George II]

32. The first time she said it was on July 27, 2020. By that time all states had voted except CT...

...and Biden had 700 more delegates than needed for the nomination, and all candidates had dropped out/suspended except Biden.

The second time (when she said you have a choice of TWO bowls of shit) was late August, right around the time of the Convention.

Regardless of when it was, it was totally uncalled for.

[Happy Hoosier]

40. Did she ever retract it?

Apologize? Anything? No? Disqualifying

[Happy Hoosier]

41. Did she ever retract it?

Apologize? Anything? No? Disqualifying

[George II]

19. Just Biden. About Harris she said she filled out "Wall Street's dream ticket."

But she used that bowl reference to Biden twice - first half a bowl and then a few weeks later a FULL bowl.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Yet I just saw where Bernie is on the road with her, supporting her.

That enrages me.

[George II]

31. Yep. The Senate convened yesterday morning at 11:00 AM to discuss an important budgetary bill....

The Budget Committee Chairman was in Cleveland.

[stopdiggin]

6. haven't we seen some indication

of where "stickin' it to the ___ " - in place of rational and critical thinking skills lands us? If your only goal is to bloody someone else's nose ...

Tell me again how this moves forward (any semblance of) a rational agenda .. ?

[LizBeth]

7. I hope to see this post in the next half hour or so. I think we should be able to discuss this issue

I will never forgive... Is all I am saying. The damage done.

[Demsrule86]

17. Me too. And I live in the district so I get a say. I say no to Turner.

[Cha]

21. Mahalo, Dems.. it would be such an honor

& pleasure to vote for Shonten!

Charles Dunlop:

Mercury:

Link to tweet

This is who she really is beyond the ranting & dancing across the campaign stage.
Dark Money, Foreign enemy supported & eagerly accepted.
Who's she degrading all our Democrats for again?
MERCURY GLOBAL?
*******
The most stricking info to come out about her, is her campaign sponsorship & lobbying gig with RU owned (Kirill Goncharenko) Mercury Global Affairs Corporation.

Kirill G was named in Mueller's report as a RU foreign agent, btw.

THIS is one of the biggest Red Flags, & one that we all should be asking, what she's really doing in that small District of OH-11 anyway?

Knowing all this, Why would anyone put their name on an endorsement for Ms Turner?

FROM THE BULWARK

Ya know, it could all just be a coincidence, couldn't it? Maybe? Perhaps?

[NurseJackie]

10. Wow! "Red flag" indeed!

[Budi]

11. Boy, that's some high $$$dollar donor there huh!

From Trump & Putin's pal Dana Rhorbacher, straight to Nina, & all her besties!

What are friends for!
Damn. Ya think he wants something for all those $$$$$$$$$ someday?

[NurseJackie]

49. Connect the dots. Follow the money.

That's all I'm going to say, for obvious reasons.

[Budi]

20. Well look who ELSE is in the Mercury connection! Explain please, Ms Turner.

Link to tweet

And there's a lot more to be told..
Reciepts. Yes Ms Turner, we have the Receipts & you have only distracting words

[George II]

25. Amare Public Affairs/Mercury Public Affairs/Paul Manafort

[Budi]

33. Well she did tap into Manafort's old Ukrane electioneering partner Tad Devine in March 2021

Paid the beginning sum of $30,000 to get the campaign ball rolling.

Lets see where this data possibly intercects:

1.Nina starts up Amare PR Affairs with RU's Mercury/ Kirill Gorenchenko/Manafort

2. Tad Devine hired in 3/2021

3. Funds flow in to Nina, Tulsi, AOC, & JDems from Trump/Putin's big Rhorbacher donor, Charles Dunlop..$500,000 +

4. And the media smear campaign against Shontel Brown goes full force the week before the election, accusing her of what Turner herself is guilty of, dropped to media by Nina's own Red Rose warrior Walter Bragman, & the Intercept
That smear being, "Taking illegal, corporate foreign $$$".
****

Now, Let's see if all the reciepts we have proof of, match up with the timeline:

Why Yes, Yes they sure do!!

Well what the heck.
HELLO, can SOMEBODY ask Turner about this curious timeline?

Thanks a bunch!!

[betsuni]

35. +1

[George II]

23. Why would any Democrat appear on Russia Today?

[Budi]

34. Good question. Not someplace Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or even James Clyburn would be on.

Or Pelosi or Schumer or Feinstein either!!

Yikes 😬
Ya know, I don't recall even Manchin or Sinema using Russia Today to promte themselves

[AZProgressive]

24. How long ago was that?

If you honestly believe she is pushing Russian propaganda look up “Force the Vote”. They hate AOC and I think it is because she is in favor of NATO but Nina Turner & AOC like each other.

[George II]

26. From the headlines below the video, June 2016, not that long ago. But there's also this:

[Budi]

42. Good lord! Look at all those with deep Republican ties, sitting at the top of Mercury.

And THIS is who supports Turner's AMARE PR.
And who she is a paid lobbyist for, ($300 000 a yr, btw) Yup, Mercury!

How the heck did she end up so embedded with such a hard Right group like that.
I mean c'mom. Look at those names!
Foreign, multinational, Corporate, Global, & corrupt lobbyists.

Not seeing the "grassroots" part here, nor the Environmental angle either.

Yikes!

Thanks for the info Georgell.
I am now even more aware of the serious foreign influence, the deeper we dive into the who, what & when of Turner's involvement.

Wow.

America deserves to have this exposed & the truth laid bare for all to see.
This makes me sick.

[betsuni]

27. What's funny are the excuses: Oh, that was six years ago; Oh, that was five years ago; Oh, that was

four years ago; Oh, that was three years ago; Oh, that was two years ago; Oh, that was a year ago.

Yet in the last two presidential elections what Democrats did decades ago, back to the sixties and seventies even, their political activities in school, was of vital importance. The '90s were like yesterday. They could be blamed for all the ills of America, pretty much!

[AZProgressive]

28. It isn't really an excuse

You can tell who is pushing Russian propaganda on the left which is why I used FTV (this was going on at the same time as Stop the Steal) as an example.

Nina Turner isn’t good enough for those people but Russia is more interested in dividing Americans and causing chaos rather than supporting anyone really.

I support Joe Biden as President and I moved on from the 2016 & 2020 primaries. I don’t hold grudges.

[betsuni]

30. Nina has the grudges.

[Budi]

36. 🙂

🥂

[George II]

43. "I moved on from the 2016 & 2020 primaries" - that's great, appreciate that. But unfortunately....

....if you watch Nina Turner's comments and follow her campaign, she hasn't.

In fact she still holds a grudge against President Clinton from the 1990s when he mentioned the names of several Democrats at an Ohio dinner but didn't mentioned her.

[AZProgressive]

44. I thought she was in favor of Secretary Clinton

Before she switched to Bernie? IIRC it was her husband that talked her into it or encouraged her but Nina has been an Ohio State Senator prior to both primaries.

I see more anti Nina threads than pro Shontel Brown threads but the race is more straightforward than the 2016 primary. The Pro Clinton side favors Brown while the pro Sanders wing favors Turner but if one doesn’t like one or the other it is likely policy reasons or grudges from the primaries.

[George II]

45. A few cogent points:

1. Clinton has nothing to do with this in 2021
2. This isn't the 2016 primary
3. "Pro Clinton" has nothing to do with this
4. Tuesday is a Democratic primary between 12 (or 13?) candidates
5. Turner hasn't been an Ohio State Senator for more than 7 years, and she was initially appointed
6. Turner hasn't defeated anyone in an election since 2006
7. Turner refused to support Hillary Clinton in her campaign against donald trump
8. Turner refused to support Joe Biden in his campaign against donald trump
9. Turner co-founded the People's Party and it was her intention to run as their candidate but they didn't qualify to be on the ballot

Finally:

10. Turner had the chutzpah to consider a primary challenge to Marcia Fudge in 2012

[W_HAMILTON]

37. Given all that we know now...

...it's not surprising at all to see her on Russian state media propagating lies that would end up costing Hillary the nomination and ushering in the historical disaster that Trump was.

[Budi]

39. The Jill Stein connection is not so curious anymore. Knowing what we now know

Link to tweet

There's probably a simple explanation.

[oasis]

46. Nina Turner/Jill Stein types siphoned votes away from Hillary. Trump

owes his 2016 victory, in part to self serving opportunists like that.

[Budi]

47. Yup. They opened that door for him & applauded their victory when he walked thru it.

[NurseJackie]

48. Unforgivable.
