49. Dissapointed Katie Porter endorsed Nina Turner.
Tue May 25, 2021, 05:22 PM
May 2021

So disgusted that Katie Porter, a woman I have a lot of respect for, endorsed Nina Turner. Nina is full of hate for most Democrats including President Biden and most eveyone else except Bernie.
If I could vote in Ohio election, I would never vote for her. Come on Katie. What's going on in your mind to endorse that woman.

Agree. No one who encouraged people to not vote for Democrats in 2016 Hortensis May 2021 #1
Her "bowl of shit" insult about Joe Biden was unforgivable... NurseJackie May 2021 #98
Anyone still doing Both Sides: unforgivable. betsuni May 2021 #100
Why would Clevelanders listen to a Californian about a local race?! NurseJackie May 2021 #103
Katie Porter also endorsed Dorian Gray May 2021 #218

Very disappointed in her. Why would she support someone that is anti-democrat? helpisontheway May 2021 #2
you are so right. And Turner LIED about Hillary!! I will never forgive Turner. Awful Turner ..... Trueblue1968 May 2021 #75
Wow. SO disappointing StarfishSaver May 2021 #3
