The Resume

    (December 7, 1967- )
    Born in Cleveland, Ohio
    Birth name is Nina Hudson
    Member of the Ohio Senate (2008-14)
    Cleveland City Council member (2006-08)
    Political commentator on CNN and The Young Turks
    Democrat

Why she might be annoying:

    Her name sounds like Tina Turner.
    She ran for Ohio Secretary of State as a Democrat, but lost in the general election to incumbent Jon Husted, and by a wide margin (2014).
    She was strongly criticized for saying of then-Presidential nominee Joe Biden ‘It's like saying to somebody, You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing. It's still shit.’
    With the backing of AOC, she ran for the Democratic nomination in the 2021 special election for Ohio's 11th congressional district, but narrowly lost to Shontel Brown.
    She challenged Brown for the seat again the following year, only to have even less success on a second try, losing out to Brown's whopping 66.5% in the primary (2022).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She appeared on The CW’s Black Lightning.
    She openly admonished fellow Democrats who implied that victims of the East Palestine railway disaster got what they deserved because they were Trump voters, calling it ‘abhorrent.’
    She supported Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign, and served as a national co-chair of Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign.
    She became president of the Sanders-affiliated group Our Revolution in 2017.
    She had a heated exchange with Hilary Rosen on CNN after Rosen told her not to quote MLK because ‘you don’t have the standing’ (which… what?).
