political consultant and friend as her chief of staff, even though the person had no experience in political organizing and had praised President Donald Trump repeatedly and attacked immigrants on Fox News."
Say What?!
In a conference call two weeks ago, the boards executive committee overruled Turners attempt to install her consultant and friend Tezlyn Figaro as the groups chief of staff, according to people on the call. Not only had Turner sprung the decision on the board, but Figaro had no experience building a political organization.
Board members flagged Figaros frequent appearances on Fox News praising Trump. She has said on the network as recently as the end of April that the presidents critics mostly dont like that hes shaking up the system. And last year she said immigrants are coming into the country and getting benefits that Americans do not get, and getting away with crimes while African-Americans go to prison.

Both fans and detractors of Sanders pin Our Revolutions problems on Turner, the former Ohio state senator who became the groups president and public face a year ago. Though some sources involved in Our Revolution said shes been an effective spokesperson, several others told POLITICO they think shes seeking to increase her profile and collect chits to run for president herself as the leader of the Sanders movement if the 76-year-old senator ultimately sits out 2020.
