..."Discussing the recent FBI letter from James Comey and the emails from Huma Abedin, Roberts wanted to know if this story made her rethink her choice of backing Clinton.
I know that you were a super Bernie Sanders supporter, Roberts stated. And in light of this, and the fact you got on board and backed Hillary Clinton, does any of this make you regret that decision?
Immediately, Turner noted that she is not backing anybody in this general election, adding that she wanted to clear that up right away. She proceeded to decry that the American people have taken a backseat in this election and that nobody is talking about income inequality, but instead just focusing on drama and more drama.

So, to answer your question, Turner's own on-camera statement a week before the election that she was "not backing anybody in this general election," when given an opportunity to voice even the most tepid endorsement, is an example of what I mean. Bully for her "conscience." It's sure as hell not helping the 800,000 DACA dreamers, or the environment, or healthcare, or public education, or women's reproductive rights, or Wall Street regulation. I hope she enjoys the current "drama and more drama," because she and her apologists certainly won't take any responsibility for ushering it in.
