It’s not everyday that I see eye to eye with a Democrat, but like the saying goes, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then!
CNN likely did not realize that having former Democratic Ohio State Senator Nina Turner appear on their State of the Union would result in Turner annihilating the Biden administration for their failures when it comes to East Palestine, Ohio.
Turner joined CNN’s Dana Bash, along with CNN Political Commentator David Urban, Former Biden Speechwriter Jeff Nussbaum, and CNN Political Commentator Kristen Soltis Anderson, to discuss the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio at the beginning of February, which resulted in hazardous materials being leaked into the environment. A disaster that has been largely ignored by President Joe Biden and the rest of his administration.
Turner blasted Democrats for politicizing the tragedy while also turning a blind eye to the Americans suffering in and around the town, simply because they support former President Donald Trump.
“For the neoliberals who say that the residents of that area deserve what they are getting because they voted for President Donald J. Trump. It is abhorrent. This is about poverty,” she asserted.
What working-class white folks in East Palestine are facing is similar to what working-class Black folks are experiencing in places like Flint, Cleveland & Jackson, MS.

Turner declared, “This is about poor working-class white people who are enduring some of the same things that poor working-class black people endure. And so I want to lay it out that the cultist behavior in politics right now – it is a sin and a shame that when people are suffering to this magnitude, you got people who will… say that they are getting what they deserve. What they deserve is clean air, clean food, clean water. They deserve relief both in the short term and also in the long term.”
The former Cleveland City Council member argued for human rights on Twitter, which means the right to clean air, clean water, and clean food all. Despite who you vote for or what political party you affiliate with.
She said, “Human rights are human rights.” And that is exactly how it should be.
Did you vote for Trump?
You deserve clean air, food and water.Did you vote for Biden?
You deserve clean air, food and water.Did you not vote?
You deserve clean air, food and water.Human rights are human rights.

I have to agree with her.
The point is gov’t is SUPPOSED to be for ALL Americans, not just “select pet groups”, & it’s supposed to be both hearing, & providing for, the needs of ALL, not just the wants of some. It’s not about politics, or any other divider, it’s about “e pluribus unum”, but that has not been the case in recent yrs at all. Trump at least tried; not his fault his efforts were rejected by any so full of hate they wouldn’t even TRY to work together for the good of all. Neither O nor Biden has even bothered to try, & Bush II was wishy washy about trying, as were Clinton, & Bush I. In fact, Ike was he last POTUS nder whom there was even a semblance of unity, & it was fraying toward the end of his 2nd term, as the Beatniks shifted into the Hippies…
It is refreshing to see a democrat that isn’t a devildemocommiecrat!!!!! She has the right attitude, that ALL Americans deserve to be important to government, not just pet groups that adhere to the devildemocommiecrat party marxist agenda!!!!!!!!!!
This was a travesty. The shit show operators are pissing in the wind. They haven’t got a clue . Lets get some folks in there that know what the hell is going on. Don’t remove the problem, burn it. They took the cheapest way out . Burn Baby Burn. The only thing that caused the problem was THE WHEEL ON THE TRAIN. That would tell me that the railroad has poor maintenance. There’s no way this was a fault of the Trump administration. Lets try Norfolk Southern. It’s there baby. NEXT CASE.
This lady has been blessed and she is 100% correct. I don’t care what letter precedes her name she is a credit to our cause. I hope the others will credit her for her humanity and leave their politics aside….
