Nina Turner: ‘Everyday Americans Are Being Left Behind Because It’s Russia, Russia, Russia’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TURNER: "No one in Ohio is asking about Russia. I mean, we have to deal with this. We definitely have to deal with this. It’s on the minds of the American people. But if you want to know what people in Ohio — they want know about jobs, they want to know about their children. I was just in California where California folks, especially the national nurses, pushing for Healthy California, a single payer, Medicare for all kinds of things. I talked to a Boomer, a Baby Boomer, who — African-American baby Boomer who lives right here in D.C. Russia is not in his top five. He believes that both parties are failing. I talked to a Gen Xer, a white male, who’s in a union. He wants a third party. We are losing — the president should be concerned about this, all Americans should be concerned about this. But if I — if we were to go to Flint, they wouldn’t ask you about Russia and Jared Kushner; they want to know how they’re going to get some clean water and why 8,000 people are about the to lose their homes. We are preoccupied with this. It’s not that this is not important, but everyday Americans are being left behind because it’s Russia, Russia, Russia. Do we need all 535 members of the Congress to deal with Russia? Can some of them deal with some domestic issues?"
