Nina Turner, a former Ohio State Senator, says voters care about jobs, not the Russia collusion story being pushed by the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream news media.
During a panel discussion on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Turner said, “No one in Ohio cares about Russia.”
Turner said voters are worried about feeding their children and paying their bills.
“They want to know about jobs, they want to know about their children. I talked to an African American baby boomer right here in D.C.–Russia is not in his top five.”
“We are preoccupied with this,” she continued, “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?”
The Democrats who are screaming the loudest for Impeaching President Trump benefitted the most from hundreds of millions of dollars in former President Obama’s stimulus packages over the last 8 years.
In fact, many Democrats are now tightening their pursestrings since the Obama gravy train was derailed by Trump.
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters (pictured above) was investigated for corruption related to Obama’s stimulus package. Waters, who represents one of California’s poorest districts, was accused of steering millions of dollars to a bank where her husband sat on the board. She claimed not to know her husband was a board member at the bank.
According to government filings, Waters paid her daughter, Karen, $750,000 to mail campaign flyers.
A government watchdog group added Waters to their list of “most corrupt” politicians four times in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011.
Waters was also questioned about the Obama administration’s ties to “green” energy executives who walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars in stimulus package money set aside for Obama’s green energy projects.
One of the green energy companies, a wind power firm, received $135.8 million from Obama’s Department of Energy — thanks to a recommendation from the Center for American Progress (CAP).
CAP, which crafted most of Obama’s policies, was run by John Podesta, who managed Hillary Clinton’s failed campaign for president in 2016.
Podesta’s sister-in-law, Heather Podesta, was the lobbyist for the wind power firm that received the $135.8 million.
According to White House visitor logs, Heather Podesta visited Obama eight times in his first 6 months in office.
Today, most of the green energy companies that received billions in stimulus money from Obama have since gone bankrupt and are no longer in operation.
Maxine Waters’ banker husband and her daughter are no longer beneficiaries of millions in taxpayer dollars. As a result, Maxine may lose her lavish $5 million mansion in upscale Hancock Park.
