Seems Nina Turner is not backing Hillary....

I have not appreciated her last several months. but I missed this. In the short clip below, Nina says she is not backing anyone during the general election.

With that said, this is gonna be my last tweet about her. Just wanted to show you all how she's choosing to go out this year.

Whatever you think of Bernie, he clearly wants to be a relevant part of Hillary's agenda going forward. Nina has opted for irrelevance.

A few days late to this, but Nina Turner made clear she's not backing Hillary Clinton in this election.

Sounds like she has split with Bernie.

Meanwhile, Bernie is campaigning like all get out for Hillary. And many hats off to him for doing that.

Not only because she didn't back HRC but if you listen to her, she's the equivalent of a RWNJ but with a left facade.

the ACA, "open season" on people of color, the repeal of Roe V Wade, the Voting rights act, the Civil Rights Act, war against labor, women being treated like second class citizens, and so many other issues

Thanks Tina, for not giving a damn about about the poor and disadvantaged, because your arrogance and pride is more important than the people who need help the most.

What a pathetic a sad person

Seems that this close to an election we should be discussing people who Americans actually recognize.

who at one time was an up and comer, I guess. As a black female congressperson, I guess she had some relevance at one time.

She has demonstrated no loyalties to the party that once helped her get elected. She did campaign for Bernie, but since the primaries she hasn't done much beyond whine and bitch about stuff. I guess the whole "Bernie was cheated" thing turned her bitter.

I'm not sure why she still has relevance to MSNBC, perhaps she's under contract and they must give her face time. Mostly she's pretty annoying and not much more informative than the average Trump surrogate.

and her bitterness blinds her to the potential consequences of sabotaging our nominee. Nobody has argued that she isn't "free to vote for whomever she likes," but she is a former Democratic office holder and her refusal to support our candidate against Trump is galling to many here.
