1. Not really surprising is it?

[BlueLucy]

4. No.

Shontel Brown for Ohio
Nina Turner for Russia

Literally.

[rockfordfile]

19. I agree

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. I agree

This is not surprising

[dalton99a]

3. Kick

[Ocelot II]

5. Quelle surprise.

[BlueLucy]

7. Owned by the oligarchs she states she is against. nt

[betsuni]

9. Always saying corrupt Democrats "take" evil dark money billionaire-funded Super PAC money

and will stop at nothing to defeat her blah blah blah.

[BlueLucy]

10. Right. The hypocrisy is stunning,

Saying all that while taking Russian oligarch money.

[JustAnotherGen]

23. +1

I don't trust her - never have.

[Sogo]

11. Was she working for the Russians when she was working for Bernie?

I mean, nothing like a strong opponent to Hillary in the Dem primaries, which ended up creating quite a divide in the Democratic party.....just sayin'....

[MrsCoffee]

14. Yes.

[yardwork]

27. This was obvious at the time.

[oasis]

45. Nina made a lightening quick swap of "loyalty" from Hill to Bernie.

Swooooosh!!!!!

[betsuni]

53. I'm suspicious of people who make a big switch and then hammer others for

being corrupt and bribed who haven't made a big switch. Odd.

[calimary]

12. Well well well. The Devil you say...

[Cha]

13. Mahalo.... All I got to say at this

Point is..

Re-Elect Rep Shontel Brown For Ohio 11 in November 22!
Shontel's Pinned Tweet..

Link to tweet

[LiberalFighter]

29. Hope that is Turner's downfall in Ohio.

[Cha]

31. That and Everything else..

[Demsrule86]

35. Nina already lost once. Shontel is awesome. I live in her district.

[LiberalFighter]

38. She doesn't make good decisions.

Does have a history of losing and picking losers. Very unlikeable too

[Demsrule86]

59. She is extremely unlikeable. And she hates Democrats and the party. She blames us for her

downfall in Ohio.

[quakerboy]

15. Can you provide some evidence

Im not a fan of turner..

But turner's firm is called Amare Public relations

The Russians in the tweet were working with Mercury public relations

And as far as i can find from google, there is no connection between the two.

What am i missing?

[Samrob]

16. Didn't she and Ed Schultz go to work for RT after 2016 primaries? nt

[mucifer]

41. Thom Hartmann was on RT also . But, he did leave. Not sure why he wanted to be a part of RT

[Demsrule86]

60. It was cost efficient...but at some point Tom couldn't do it anymore.

He lost money by leaving I think. I have also thought there was a little bit of guilt that maybe his show was used to help destroy Hillary...that is just my opinion. I am not saying Tom realized this at the time...only later when Trump was foisted upon us.

[betsuni]

17. She started Amare in partnership with Mercury.

Fabian Nunez, Mercury Partner: "Mercury is honored to help Nina launch her business and know she will bring tremendous value to all who work with her."

[Cha]

18. Thank You for that

verification.

[quakerboy]

37. Thanks. Theres the tie

I dont know how i missed that on the first read. Its not exactly the same as "working for" russians, but still an odoriferous connection.

I wish i could find something to document this other than a post by mercury PR.

[betsuni]

43. Apparently it wasn't widely reported except for the Mercury announcement.

A Daily Beast article from last year says the direct link between Amare and Mercury disappeared when the company's name was replaced with Highstake 11 77C, but that's a Mercury company, and that Turner's links with Mercury haven't been widely reported besides Mercury PR.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/dem-star-nina-turner-blows-pledge-not-to-take-lobbyist-money

No wonder Turner would want to keep it as quiet as possible, after demonizing lobbyists all the time.

[sheshe2]

47. thank you!

[lapucelle]

34. "Turner is launching her firm with support from partners at Mercury Public Affairs."

[mcar]

22. Why am I not surprised? Nt

[Cha]

24. Thank Goodness the Good People of

Ohio 11 Chose Rep Shontel Brown to Represent them!

I just followed her on Twitter!

Link to tweet

💙💛

[yardwork]

26. This was obvious

[ismnotwasm]

28. Not surprised

At all.

[DFW]

30. Turner had several enthusiastic supporters on here

I wonder if their stance is unchanged?

[Cha]

33. Yeah, we were told .. Not to

bother donating to Shontel Brown.. that we'd be wasting our money.

Of course, so many Dems Did Donate to Shontel.

Link to tweet

[Demsrule86]

36. I donated, worked for and voted for Shontel Brown...who is a great Democrat unlike Nina Turner

who is not a Democrat. Nina drove around in their bus which was an insult to Democrats and President Biden. We know who she is.

[Cha]

39. That's right.. You were/are Right in the

Thick of Things... How exciting for all those who got Shontel Elected.. in spite of what NT was goin around saying.

Thank You! 💙💛

[Demsrule86]

58. I couldn't find the thread, but I well remember folks here announcing

breathlessly that Shontel needed to drop out...well I had seen Nina Turner's anti-Democratic van and was determined to fight on...we copied the pics and passed them out in various areas in the district. We posted the pics online to Facebook neighborhood sites. We got our vote out. And posted messages from the Turner campaign showing her attacks on the Democratic Party. The best one was where she said she was running as a Democrat because she couldn't get on the ballot as a member of her new Party, the People's Party. This is a Democratic stronghold and Democrats here are not third-party types...some of the most loyal Democratic voters I have ever come across.

[Cha]

61. Mahalo so much for being one

of Shontel's Fighters for Congress!

You'll be doing it all over again for Rep Shontel Brown!

[bigtree]

40. I'd imagine this kind of attack/smear just solidifies their support

...there's no evidence in this post that Turner did anything wrong, or 'works for Russians.'

No one's 'stance' is going to be changed by this falderal. I'm sure there are myriad other reasons to reject Turner which aren't salacious, clickbait smears.

Btw, how do you decide who Turner's 'supporters' are? Just curious. Hope it's more credible than this hit thread.

[DFW]

44. I didn't have to decide anything

They came right out and said so. It was an open primary, and people expressed their preferences openly, same as with any open primary. No one seemed ashamed of their preference at the time.

[sheshe2]

48. Bigtree...

I'd imagine this kind of attack/smear just solidifies their support

...there's no evidence in this post that Turner did anything wrong,

Many of us remember Nina saying voting for Biden is like:

Nina Turner, assessing the choice of Biden against President Donald Trump in the November presidential election, told The Atlantic: “It’s like saying to somebody, ‘You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing.’ It’s still shit.”

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nina-turner-joe-biden_n_5f200c04c5b638cfec49ecd5

Yes, she did everything wrong.

You are judged by your words.

[betsuni]

50. This morning when I was rooting around, found an article with a long list

of offensive Nina quotes in one place and now I can't find it. I am sad.

[sheshe2]

51. If you find it give me a heads up.

I will hold the rest of my thoughts.

[Cha]

55. Thank You for reminding whomever

needed to be reminded of this, she.

Turner Owns those words and deeds and should be held accountable. I think the Voters in District 11 Ohio did just that..

Besides the Better person to Rep Ohio 11 Won.

[sheshe2]

56. Thank you, Cha.

Love those pictures, first time I have seen them!

[Cha]

57. Rep Shontel Brown Supported the

Infrastructure Bill and its Working for the People of Ohio and America!

How Refreshing for someone to be United behind what Pres Biden is trying to do FOR Americans and America!

Best Person For the Job!

[betsuni]

46. My favorite: Brown supporters accused of hating Turner because she's a "strong woman of color."

I think that originated from articles about the CBC backing Brown over Turner, but the fact that Brown is also a woman of color was somehow lost in translation. Or erased by the usual insults of centrist, establishment, corporate, etc. That was weird.

[sheshe2]

49. Maybe it goes back to the days ...

When Tavis Simile and Cornball West said Obama wasn't black enough. Listening to NPR coming home from work that day. Nearly hit a tree when I heard that.

[nini]

32. A lot of 'democrats' are doing the same

I’d bet money on it.

They’re not hard to figure out either.

[bigtree]

42. well we had one Democrat who was attacking Rep. Rashida Tlaib who's lousy with Russian cash

Josh Gottheimer owns up to $30,000 worth of American depository receipts in Lukoil, the Russian fossil fuels giant, according to his most recent annual financial disclosure. He most recently purchased up to $15,000 worth of American depository receipts in Lukoil on February 4, 2021, according to a federal filing.

Lukoil has endured targeted US sanctions since 2014. Given the war in Ukraine, it could face more from the United States or European nations. CNBC on Monday reported that Lukoil's president, Vagit Alekperov, is sailing his yacht from Spain to Montenegro as the United States and its allies mull sanctions on the property of Russian oligarchs with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Gottheimer also owns up to $15,000 worth of stock in Yandex, a Russian internet services company, earning up to $2,500 in capital gains from the asset in 2020, federal filings indicate.

[lapucelle]

52. Ro Khanna's wife and Josh Gottheimer are "lousy with Russian cash"? That's neither true nor accurate

according to your link. Portfolio investments are not "cash".

That said, congressional members and their immediate households should divest all interests in Russian companies.

[Celerity]

54. not so flush now, lol (never really was, those amounts were small anyway, but still he should sell)

Russian Google competitor Yandex has now crashed 78% from 52-week high, mostly due to Putin's invasion of Ukraine
