267. What you don't get I'll enumerate. It has everything to do with this thread

Sat Jun 11, 2016, 12:10 PM

Jun 2016

where Nina Turner is falsely accused of numerous personally vile and loaded characteristics- 'angry, aggressive, arrogant, unreasonable, vehement, loud and big mouth, needs to be reined in'. Including vicious comparisons with the psychologically deranged, violent animal killer Glenn Close played in the movie 'Fatal Attraction', more. Way beyond malicious, it's impermissible.

Clinton's immediate reaction of shouting and hostility over a a question in a crowd was startling and intense, a complete emotional outburst, particularly forcing her hand and finger into the woman's chest. That kind of flash anger and public display of irrationality and aggression summons matters of cause, temperament and more.
Nina Turner has been scrutinized and smeared here for merely saying what others don't like or agree with. And the attacks on her profession, motives and background as a result are totally unjustified and reprehensible, all things considered.
