"The Democratic Party, by not allowing this resolution to come to the floor, is complicit in the railroading of democracy itself," said former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner.A Democratic National Committee panel on Thursday refused to allow a vote on a resolution aimed at banning dark money from the party's primary process, a decision that sparked outrage from progressive DNC members and others who backed the proposal.
Former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner, a DNC member who faced an onslaught of dark money during her recent campaigns for a U.S. House seat, toldthat"it's really a sad state of affairs" for the DNC Resolutions Committee to"not even bring this to the floor so that the members of the DNC can weigh in." "Dark money taints the will of the people of these communities because dark money is doing the bidding of the elites."
"This should be judged through the lens of right and wrong," said Turner."It is wrong to allow dark money to enter any primary in any state, in any race. What it does is it suffocates the will of the people in those districts.
"Dark money taints the will of the people of these communities because dark money is doing the bidding of the elites and the oligarchs who don't give a damn about the conditions people are living in," she added."The Democratic Party, by not allowing this resolution to come to the floor, is complicit in the railroading of democracy itself.
