42. Turner criticized the raid on Michael Cohen's office

Tue Apr 30, 2019, 02:25 AM

Apr 2019

Civil rights activist and former Ohio state senator Nina Turner said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union that Americans should have “some concern” about how the FBI is running its probe into Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

It wasn’t the most enthusiastic defense of Cohen, but worth pointing out since Turner is a Democrat and a Bernie Sanders ally. Host Jake Tapper asked her about what she thought about the FBI’s raid on Cohen last Monday. She said it concerned her a “little” and it remained to be seen if there were any abuses, but, she added, “certainly, throughout the history of this country, especially where it comes to African-American folks, I mean, Black Panthers, Dr. King, Malcolm X, and other civil rights freedom fighters. You can see that sometimes the government can go too far in its effort and be skewed one way.”

Sorry, but I will not waste 17 minutes listening to someone I equate with Paris Dennard Atticus Apr 2019 #2

Oh, I forgot all about Paris Dennard. Wasn't there some sort of sexual scandal? brush Apr 2019 #27

The fact that Bernie has hired Turner, a Jill Stein voter, redstateblues Apr 2019 #3

She never said she voted for Jill Stein. NT Eric J in MN Apr 2019 #10

Nina pushed 3rdparty jill stein.. if she didn't vote Cha Apr 2019 #12

Yes she did, in fact she even considered running as Jill Stein's running mate but declined. George II Apr 2019 #23

That writer doesn't have any quotes of Nina Turner saying she voted for Jill Stein. NT Eric J in MN Apr 2019 #37

Really? Gothmog Apr 2019 #26

There is no quote in your post of Nina Turner saying she voted for Jill Stein. NT Eric J in MN Apr 2019 #36

She campaigned for Stein, do you have proof she didn't vote for Stein? SharonClark Apr 2019 #53

Nina Turner didn't campaign for Jill Stein. Eric J in MN Apr 2019 #111

You really think that someone who endorsed Stein publicly didn't vote for her? ehrnst Apr 2019 #47

They are unable to respond, the line at the Kool Aid table is backed up. grantcart Apr 2019 #107

There was no endorsement. Eric J in MN Apr 2019 #112

Considering a run with a candidate as VP doesn't indicate endorsement? ehrnst May 2019 #115

What did she say there that was divisive? Mr Tibbs Apr 2019 #17

Are those crickets I hear? chirp... chirp... chirp InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #33

You do understand that the "reviews" after Turner's appearance this weekend.... George II Apr 2019 #8

Thanks for the comparison, Joy only gave Nina 8-9 seconds before the 1st interruption. Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #9

What boggled my mind was when Turner was asked that question, she launched into.... George II Apr 2019 #13

You are correct! sheshe2 Apr 2019 #63

It was one step further than saying that he "was at the March on Washington "with" MLK"! George II Apr 2019 #70

I saw the same thing. we can do it Apr 2019 #67

Hey, George! NurseJackie Apr 2019 #76

Oh my, that is just TOO funny, thanks!! George II Apr 2019 #80

I saw this interview Gothmog Apr 2019 #28
