The faces she makes while this Deplorable, i.e. Republican flack is talking is priceless.
ON EDIT-
I don't care. She was great tonight. The Republican flack was whitewashing Trump's racism and she was shooting him killer looks.

Cool sappy line Nina.

(99,705 posts)When she goes back to stirring up trouble in the community (Democrats) I will go back to disliking her.
Same with Bernie. When he rails against millionaires and billionaires I like him. When he criticizes Democrats I dislike him.

(22,911 posts)Bernie has a record stretching back 50 years. It doesn't take much digging to show how baseless that statement is.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)omitted the word "millionaires".
This is fact.
Sorry.
Tom Rinaldo
(22,911 posts)You said "He only rails against billionaires now that he's a millionaire himself"
False. He also railed against billionaires long before he became a millionaire.
I grew up watching "The Millionaire" when I was a kid. A million dollars was an unimaginable sum of money back then. Now the average home in San Francisco is worth well in excess of that. And a dime got you on the subway and a nickle bought a cup of coffee, not anymore. A million isn't what it used to be.

(6,288 posts)"Millionaires & billionaires" portrayed as the evil in his campaign speeches of 2016, has since been edited to simply "billionaires".
Why did he drop the word millionaires from his evil duo of his campaign speeches? He became a millionaire himself.
So now only billionaires are evil.
What if he becomes a billionaire someday!!!
Omg!

(29,322 posts)My congresswoman votes with Trump more often than Republicans in her own state representing far more conservative districts. Hillary Clinton won my district by a comfortable margin. She panders to the xenophobic crowd in this state voted to repeal portions of Dodd-Frank. Voted for "Citibank protection". I realized a long time ago politicians are not looking out for us but themselves and a lot of people don't vote apolitical because of this. Record matters and long-term Sanders has a good one. Not perfect but far better than most.

(99,705 posts)We have a country to take back and this intramural bickering is a distraction. Nina Turner was on a CNN panel and she schooled a Trump flack who was whitewashing Trump and his followers racism. I applaud her that, nothing more and nothing less.

I don't understand how people can't like her, I mean seriously. Watch this! She absolutely drags these idiots. These are our enemies, Nina is NOT.
"The fact that you're taking such a cavalier attitude towards the suffering of black & brown people in this country is appalling!"
Beautiful!

(99,705 posts)She laid the smack down on that Trump apologist who had the chutzpah to argue some of Trump's followers are racist but he isn't. That's an absurd argument;Trump gives credence to their racist views and that's why they follow him.

(99,705 posts)"Take it the voters", WTF. You don't trivialize the hurt inflicted on people of color by this country.
But that's a different appearance.

(42,862 posts)Sorry, I won't be a part of trying to rehabilitate her image, or cast her in a positive light. Why are you? She has ZERO redeeming qualities. She's as bad as Sarandon with her lies about the party's nominee and her attacks and smears of the Democratic party.
Cha
(295,926 posts)can call out asshole repubs.. too bad she didn't stick to that instead of always throwing disingenuous Shit at our Democratic Party.
