In reply to the discussion: Nina Turner Blasts Audience From Black Women's Forum for Booing Senator's MLK Comments [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)There is much "rude" interruption of a speaker.
What they could have said and did not: "You then moved far away from the civil rights movement to lilly white Vermont to live, while other people carried on doing the hard, bloody work of civil rights activism where it was going on."
I personally thought Sanders displayed far more of a lack of civility in his lack of preparation on the topic, and his doubling down when he was asked to direct his response back to the question.
So you thought Turner's bashing of that audience was in no way disrespectful even though falsely stating that the audience was booing the fact that he marched in Washington, but dropping MLKs name instead of answering why he couldn't address the issues that he was there to talk about.
I find it breathtaking that people want to blame the audience for calling a speaker out on evading questions. None of the other candidates got this "disrespectful" feedback, because they actually were there to answer questions, respected the audience, and had given the issues sepcific to WOC some thought.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
