1/ An analysis of the first three paragraphs of the audacious smear job article tearing down a great woman, @ninaturner. (We got your back @ninaturner. ✊👊💪🙏) #receipts
2/ Paragraph one: That “Deep State conspiracies” link? The words “Nina” and “Turner” are nowhere to be found in the linked article.

3/ The link about the uranium one conspiracy? Her actual quote has nothing to do with what the linked article accuses her of (and what Fassler so easily, excitedly, and enthusiastically perpetuates).

4/ Second paragraph: @ninaturner took offense “because” the DNC offered her donuts and water.
5/ The linked article is another smear job by Fassler. From that article. She went to the DNC, they offer her donuts, and that made @ninaturner VERY ANGRY. thedailybanter.com/2017/08/nina-t…
6/ Right above the screenshot is the link to an article about what happened. Look what Fassler left out: “When they arrived, barricades blocked the entrance steps & a handful of DNC staffers stood waiting outside.” The DNC had a table of donuts in front of the barricade.
7/ By This logic, as long as you do some completely disconnected token gesture of kindness, that is all the excuse that is needed to do any controversial, hateful, or unjust thing that you like.
8/ Take another look at that 2nd paragraph. It is “irrational” that @ninaturner complained about being offered DONUTS when black people have suffered so much throughout American history. What does historical and institutional racism have anything to do with that day at the DNC?
9/ Third paragraph. NO WAY! 🙄🤦♀️
10/ That’s just the first 3 paragraphs. Either Fassler is good-faith & extraordinarily bad at his job (& every single mistake just so happens to be at the expense of @ninaturner), or bad-faith & gets paid to tear people down that threaten the paycheck of those who pay his.
11/11 We got your back @ninaturner. ✊👊💪🙏
Clearly, you are making a difference, otherwise...why bother? (As you told me last week regarding smears: address, acknowledge, then let it go. Done.)

Proud to say that I am now blocked by the author, @j_fassler, whose post is a bit ratioed. Link to article: thedailybanter.com/.amp/2018/04/n…
