This conveniently ignores that Nina Turner's opponent, Shontel Brown, is also Black.

This is an example of media framing a narrative. It could've instead been written as:

"The Congressional Black Caucus is going all out to support a Black candidate in Shontel Brown over frontrunner Nina Turner."

But either would've ignored the fact that both women are Black.

It's also pretty clear why the CBC is backing Shontel Brown.

Nina Turner publicly refused to support Clinton over Trump in 2016, said Black voters only backed her due to "brand loyalty."

She compared voting for Biden to eating "half a bowl" of "shit."

It's disingenuous for journalists to pretend they're confused about why Black Dems in the CBC would want to support Shontel Brown over Nina Turner.

You don't have to agree with their reasons. But it isn't confusing or odd as the reporter implies.

Also: @Alex_Sammon's report says Hillary Clinton backs Brown despite having "famously little interest in Rust Belt campaigning."

HRC's largest 2016 rally was in Ohio, which tied w/FL & PA as her most visited states.

AND—The Clintons endorsed Nina Turner's 2014 run for Ohio SOS.
