Nina Turner had questionable issues with Our Revolution [View all]




Nina better hope Shontel Brown doesn't bring up Turner's disastrous tenure as president of Our Revolution, where the money came up funny and the board had to stop her from hiring her anti-immigrant friend while fearing she intended to use OR to further her own political ambitions

POLITICO:


In a statement out Tuesday, Turner, the group’s president, noted that the comments by Tezlyn Figaro are not held by Turner, or by Our Revolution. On Fox News last year, Figaro cited President Donald Trump‘s “leadership” on the travel ban and said, “We are sick and tired of immigrants coming into the country and getting benefits that Americans do not get … what I’m seeing is not paying taxes, what I’m seeing is getting a lot of freebies that Americans do not get.”

Those comments and others — a month after Trump’s election in 2016 she tweeted “Please! #buildthewall” —have upset many in the organization. The Our Revolution board stopped Turner from installing Figora as the group’s chief of staff.

Anti-immigrant, supporter of Trump policies, & Fox News regular, Tezlyn Figaro was personally hired by Turner as OR's COS.

THIS IS WHO TURNER pals around with.
There is a reason why Turner never speaks ill of Republicans. Yet damns every Democrat trying to hold the line against the annhiliation of American Democracy.

There's a reason Turner's AMARE PR GROUP is supported by RU compromised MERCURY Global Lobbyists, whose CEO Kirill GORNCHENKO was a RU Putin associate of Paul Manafort.
There is a reason Turner hired Manafort's Ukraine electoral companion, Tad DeVine, to aid her future campaigns.

Hey, HELLO SOMEBODY 🤪? Can you tell us what Nina Turner's real game is here?

That's some shady bowl of shit we're being fed.
What's up with this Ms Turner?

Could SOMEBODY Also ask if Nina plans to maje her home in OH to address the need of those constituents, OR will she abandon them to go back home to Maryland?

Would be kinda good for OH-11 to know if they'll be represented locally, or not.
