Former Ohio State Senator and Bernie 2020 National Co-Chair Nina Turner returns to Bad Faith to discuss AOC's failure to capture the ranking chair of the House Oversight committee, and what the elected left's recent failures say about the "inside" strategy advanced by so much of the left in the wake of the Bernie 2020 campaign.
