5. What a horseshit article.

Turner had just been running a constant stream of standard, straightforward positive campaign ads until Brown’s campaign went negative. The Turner campaign ultimately responded with their own attacks ads against Brown and those produced by third party groups.

Whoa. Just stop right there.

Nina's campaign started this smear campaign long before Brown ever responded.

And as for that Ethics Violation sensationalism bs, it was hack out to the media by Walter Bragman.

Aftet his call out for this smear by lying campaign, Bragman issued this backtrack.:
Meaning, He Knows this never happened since, "The ethics commission does not comment on or confirm the existence of ethics investigations."...


Walker Bragman
@WalkerBragman
The ethics commission does not comment on or confirm the existence of ethics investigations. It does make settlement agreements public—but there is no record of a settlement agreement on this matter.


Following his being called out for this lie, here's his response:







Walter Bragman wrote these pieces for The Intetcept.
Why is he working for Nina Turner, you ask?
"Walker Bergman is a far right wing propagandist his "Opinion" pieces aren't based on the real world they are written in his fantasy world where America is a dictatorship
Why he fantasies about such crap I don't care to understand
Just know he is one sick puppy blame his parents"


Now stfu
