Nina Turner on Joe Biden: "He just flat-out lied"

Sanders aide hits Biden over criticism of health care plan: He 'just flat out lied'

A top official for Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) campaign fired back at 2020 presidential rival Joe Biden on Wednesday after he criticized Sanders's health care plan.

Nina Turner, co-chairwoman of Sanders’s campaign, accused the former vice president of lying about about the senator's proposed government-run “Medicare for All” plan during an AARP presidential forum in Iowa on Monday.

“Matter-of-fact, he gave a speech to the AARP — just flat out lied — trying to scare elderly folks, and I really did not think that the vice president would go to that length,” Turner told Hill.TV during an interview on "Rising."

"It's one thing to want to win the nomination, it's another thing to do anything to win it," she continued.

Hard to believe I had lunch with her as an up-and-coming Party leader back in 2015...

1. It is hard to take anything that a Stein supporter says seriously

[Hortensis]

13. To put it mildly. A whole string of seeming desperation attacks

this early in any other candidate would signal impending withdrawal from the race, but we're likely to see another year of these tactics from that nest of surrogates.

Fortunately, I've noticed, the press have made it pretty easy to ignore them this time. They may have to report Trump's lies because he's president, but he's caused them to institute various techniques to lessen being manipulated. Except when they want to be, of course. But apparently this time they don't.

2. Nina Turner

just flat out dumb. Is it me, or does the Bernie campaign seem a bit desperate these days?

[comradebillyboy]

14. It's not just you, lots of us feel that way.

[we can do it]

16. Desperate and back to attacking Dems.

Sick of the bs and minions.

[Gothmog]

41. It is not just you

[trueblue2007]

44. Nina Turner is horrible and in 2016 she did nothing but spout lies about Sec Clinton.

[Demsrule86]

3. She destroyed herself...and Biden didn't lie.Everything he said was true...and she

has no idea what would be available to seniors...no one does...but as Biden said it will change...maybe it will be a good change or maybe not.

[Botany]

4. Nina Turner is an ass

[True Blue American]

7. You said it!

Glad to know she lost in Ohio. Now professional hanger on to anyone.

[Botany]

12. I am from OH

And I got to see her "act" up close. She is a nasty piece of work.

After a bit I got to wonder if she wasn't working for the other side because she is toxic to the democratic party in the state.

[True Blue American]

28. Well, i

Do not live in her former District but have watched Nina run from one campaign to another since she lost.

[Demsrule86]

42. I am from Ohio too...can't stand her.

[hlthe2b]

5. She is a real "piece of work"...

Nasty as they come.

[redstatebluegirl]

6. Nina Turner was involved in trying to kill our party in 2016.

I don't believe a thing she says, period!

[awesomerwb1]

8. Useless

Another terrible surrogate for Bernie in 2016.

[George II]

9. I wonder if the Unity Pledge and other agreements also apply to top staffers and campaign mgrs?

Seems like they have immunity.

Now we have Turner (National Co-Chair @BernieSanders), Sirota (@BernieSanders’ speechwriter) and Gray (National Press Secretary #BernieSanders2020) ALL going after the candidates who are ahead of BS in the polls.

[comradebillyboy]

15. No one is surprisesed that they do this.

[Control-Z]

10. Sounds like she's talking about her own candidate.

"It's one thing to want to win the nomination, it's another thing to do anything to win it," she continued."

Lol.

What was the lie? She never says what is in the video clip.

[George II]

11. BS just released a video in which HE himself calls Biden a "liar". Not available online yet.

[comradebillyboy]

17. Joe has much more credibility than Bernie on pretty much everything.

[silentEcho]

20. Hm, is Nina the tester for public reaction?

Set and ready to go if it is to his advantage?

[SouthernProgressive]

18. Turner can't even keep her own lies straight.

[SouthernProgressive]

19. Trump supporter.

[oasis]

22. Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh send their love.

[Doitnow]

21. Well, will somebody please say what the so-called "lie" was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaDeacon]

27. Nope!!

Lol, let’s circle around establishment guy early. No one here will say what the lie is because there is no lie! I will be voting for the democratic candidate regardless BUT, we can pick guy or girl of better quality than Biden!

[Demsrule86]

43. The plan will not kill anyone and will reach those who are currently uninsured with massive

subsidies as many are poor... thus her entire verbiage is a lie. MFA would take forever to get into place and in the meantime then what...I do not like MFA and I am a Democrat...and it will be used to destroy our 2020 chances. If Nina's lips are moving...she is lying pretty much...she did not support Hillary in the general, but she supported Mello who took away a woman;s right to use insurance to pay for an abortion...he sponsored and voted for the bill...so I don't care what a Stein voter says. It was Trump or Clinton and by voting for Stein,she chose Trump. She has said that Democrats have to basically beg for endorsements from Our Revolution but she would support third party candidates and even Republicans. She is not a Democrat these days. She said this to the Nation...

"CM: Will the group be endorsing non-Democrats?

NT: You know what, yes. We are open to it. And for me, I’ve also heard the senator say this lately too: Let’s put the political affiliation to the side. If there is a Republican or a Libertarian or Green Party person that believes in Medicare for all, then that’s our kind of person. If there’s somebody that believes that Citizens United needs to be overturned, that we need the 28th amendment to the Constitution that declares that money, corporate money, is not speech and that corporations should not have more speech than Mrs. Johnson down the street and Mr. Gonzalez around the corner, then that’s our kind of people." I was disappointed that she was hired for Sen. Sander's campaign.

[peggysue2]

23. LOL!!

Really?

"It's one thing to want to win the nomination, it's another thing to do anything to win it"

Do these people ever listen to themselves? Ms Turner needs a spin on the wayback machine, reintroduce herself to the 2016 campaign.

Bless her heart.

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. IMAX theaters don't project as much as she does

Count me as a former Bernie supporter that's so done with her.

[Cha]

24. Nin Nina Nina.. you doth project too much..

[peggysue2]

33. Ya Think???

Like mustlovebeagles said: IMAX doesn't project this much. (great line, btw)

These people don't seem to recall that the wayback machine recorded--EVERYTHING. All their nonsense is on tape.

Hello, Ms Turner, we're looking at you.

[Cha]

34. That is a great line from MustLoveBeagles!

Speaking of Way Back Machine.. only Not that long ago..

2020 Candidates Begin Signing Unity Pledge, With Sanders Taking the Lead

https://www.democraticunderground.com/128793259

[peggysue2]

35. Yeah, Unity Pledge

But the fine print on Sanders' copy reads: only if you support me.

Deja vu all over again, eh?

[Cha]

36. Yes!.. and we have

to endure it this for 15 more months. So by the time the GE comes around it's been scorched Earth from the likes of Nina.

[mcar]

25. Who?

[Butterflylady]

26. We can't stand her

I wouldn't believe anything she says.

[onetexan]

32. yup, pure BS

[helpisontheway]

29. And she needs to flat out go to hell..Surpised she removed

her lips off Sanders butt long enough to say anything. So sick of her and the other Bernie or Bust people..

[Cha]

30. Oh Nina, jill stein voter.. get a grip.

[DURHAM D]

37. I read the article in the OP.

I read this whole thread.

What was Biden's flat out lie?

Nina does not say what the lie is/was? She just goes off topic about dental coverage and stuff.

Honestly, I don't think she has any idea how the current Medicare program works and what it would mean to get rid of all insurance.

In short, she is just running her mouth and saying nothing.

[Peacetrain]

38. +1000

This!! could not agree more

[silentEcho]

39. I was thinking the same. I check this thread to see if we know the supposed lie Turner accused

Biden with. So, you are not seeing anything either.

[TreasonousBastard]

40. But damn-- she looks good at her age...

Wrong Nina?

[Jose Garcia]

45. She's probably just cranky because she's getting paid less than $15/hr

[ecstatic]

46. "...it's another thing to do anything to win it," she continued.

Pot meet kettle.

Not to mention, it's another thing to throw the democratic nominee under the bus because your preferred candidate lost.

[melman]

47. "Hard to believe I had lunch with her as an up-and-coming Party leader back in 2015..".

Even in hit threads we get to hear about lunch.

[George II]

48. Not even close to a "hit thread". What is your standard for a "hit thread"?

[melman]

49. Of course it is

[George II]

50. In what manner? (fyi, I don't expect a response, but give it a go...)

[Gothmog]

51. Biden did not lie

These false claims by the sanders campaign are not likely to help sanders. Biden supporters are not likely to support sanders. These real democrats have good memories and will not forget or forgive. False claims by sanders supporters are not going to change anyone’s opinion

[RhodeIslandOne]

52. Nina Turncoat will be back working for Dr Stein come next July (if she isn't already)

Fuck her and the horse she rode in on.
