More importantly, she was a loyal Democrat and supported every Democratic Presidential candidate throughout her political career.

And, she never called our nominee either a half-bowl or full-bowl of shit.

She was a legend.

Saying that Nina Turner was against the Democratic platform by saying that the platform is $15 minimum wage and Medicare for all implying that Turner is actually against those things. It was a dirty campaign especially when all the corporate money started flowing in the district.



I don’t like the Rising show but other shows covered the dishonest mailer.

with her NOT knowing the Difference between ".. a bowl of shit, trump, and Joe Biden".. and other crap over the years.

The Pastors in Ohio 11 called her out for "bearing false witness".. History caught up with NT & blew up in her face.

Turner brought herself down.

Thank Goodness We Have Shontel Brown Coming to Congress!

Fact is, much more was spent on Turner's campaign for her and against Brown than the other way.

Turner alone spent $2M more than Brown from their respective campaigns, and almost 90% of her contributions came from outside Ohio, about 25% from California alone.

This narrative about "corporate money" and "outside money" is getting tiring, particularly when it's said (not by you) by the candidates who are benefiting more than the opponent.

Money is money, and with current FEC rules in effect and lack of enforcement due to FEC funding, there are a lot of ways to get "corporate money" without saying it's "corporate money".

She used that when she first ran for Congress, and won, in 1968.
