Food For Thought: Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, Donna Brazile, Nina Turner

Three African-American Women who told their Truth:

Wilson: What Happened to Sgt. Johnson's Widow in a Car She was in with the Widow. In turn, she was called an "empty barrel" by so-called General John Kelly and was lied on by him.

Turner: Her version of what happened in Nevada. In turn, she was shunned by others for telling what she saw with her own eyes and told, with her own mouth.

Brazile: Wrote a book on what she found out after becoming an intern head of a National Party Organization and a year + later, after keeping silent the whole time and afterward to help that political party. In turn, she is called a turncoat by others.

What do Wilson, Turner, and Brazile have in common? All Proud African-American Women that told THEIR TRUTH and Others Could Stand That They Did.

We Support All Of Our African-American Sisters, Telling Their Truth!!

All Proud African-American Women..."

Seems a most spurious correlation from which to draw an absolute conclusion. I get it, though... it's convenient to keep a things like this in our back pockets to point to.

that group. Representative Wilson is the only one who has integrity, and was there to support Sgt. Johnson's family with no ulterior agenda.

Donna Brazille is out to sell a book, and exonerate herself from any responsibility with what happened in 2016. It is all President Obama, Hillary, the Democrats, the DNC, DWS, etc. Everyone but Ms. Brazille contribution to the campaign.

I wonder who she is blaming for the Al Gore campaign, or her wonderful tweet in October, which she erased, saying "The Weinstein Company has taken the lead against sexual harassment and assault".

As for Nina Turner, it was either her way or the highway. It was that kind of purist bullshit that motivated some not to vote for the Democratic nominee.

She supported Republican candidates in Florida while she was DNC chief. If Nina Turner's statements offend you I am sure you are not hypocritical enough to not view a DNC chief supporting Republicans over Democrats as reprehensible..

"Ad watch: Republican Candidate Implies Wasserman Schultz Supports Him in County Race

It's tough to get elected in Broward County if you're a Republican, but Republican candidate Chuck Lanza mailed voters a campaign ad that implies he has the stamp of approval from arguably the most well-known Democrat in Broward, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the congresswoman and former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.

He doesn't.

The ad has a photograph of Wasserman Schultz, and remarks the congresswoman made on the House floor in 2014 when Lanza resigned from his position as emergency management director for Broward County."

You're exactly right. She causes more harm than anything else. She appeals only to the "vanity voter" that I've often mentioned.

11. Their Truth

Very glad you didn’t qualify it as “the truth.”

Here is some more of “their truth” for you. And to be clear, you have made the words their and black interchangeable in your op. Really bad form.


https://m.



Unlike you, I don’t cheer the words of someone because of the color of their skin. That is some really shady race baiting. Some are sly enough to race bait without being noticed. Some aren’t. In this instance, you fall into the latter category.

To use Wilson as you have is deplorable.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry at that video.

As far as the OP. I'm sure Omarosa speaks her truth as well.
