Clinton fundraiser Caren Turner quits Port Authority post after video of her cursing out local cops
CNBC ^ | 04-24-2018 | Dan Mangan

A Washington lobbyist who played a leading role in raising money for Hillary Clinton's presidential runs resigned her commissionership at a top transportation agency after being caught cursing out police on video.

"You may shut the f--- up!" fumed the lobbyist, Caren Turner, at a Tenafly, NJ, cop during a March 31 traffic stop of a car in which Turner's daughter had been a passenger.

"You're an ass," Turner later told the officer, according to a police report released Wednesday. "Look at that smug-ass look on your face."

Turner, 60, had become increasingly frustrated and angry after police politely declined to discuss in detail why they had pulled over that car, which was being impounded after being found to have an expired registration.

A police dash-cam video — which has gone viral — shows Turner, who lives in Tenafly, arriving in her own vehicle just as police were finishing up ticketing the driver for violations that included failure to have a current insurance car, driving an unregistered vehicle, and driving with the license plate obscured.

And she promptly began taking a peremptory tone, dropping names and mentioning her position as a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. She also flashed a gold badge from the PA at the cops.

The Port Authority operates all three major New York area airports, river crossings between Manhattan and New Jersey, and the World Trade Center site in New York.

Ethics post, every time.

Like our disgraced Nashville ex-mayor who was an “ethics” expert up until she was caught embezzling money to pay for vacations with her also-married cop boyfriend.

It is my experience in dealing with police who have pulled you over, that “Do you know who I am?” is only slightly less persuasive than “What’s the matter? Dunkin Donuts closed?”

She is a self entitled, arrogant jerkoid of the lowest order.
Either off her meds or comes by it naturally.

Kudos to the officers.

Now just imagine a room full of 40 to 70 year old liberal women with the exact same mentality, presided over by the nastiest, most self-centered one of all, governing this country. That is what we almost had and thank Donald Trump that we don’t.

She also implied several times that the police officers were dumb.....

You can’t even put together a sentence.

I would have arrested her a$$.

Hell, in Atlanta, Reese Witherspoon was arrested for much, much less.

LOL! Yeah, it's never worked for me either.

A classic example of a modern day liberal - arrogant, out of touch elitist who believes themselves to be above the law, even though they constantly want to pass more laws to control those who do not agree with them!

Her condescending manner toward the officers is also completely predictable. Talking down to them in an attempt to intimidate the officers “I am very disappointed in you” while attempting to elevate herself and her daughter, “Call me Commissioner.” “I am an attorney.” “These are graduate students at MIT and Yale.”

Kudos to the cops for remaining calm and to their Chief who allowed the release of the video when he probably had political pressure on him to squash the whole thing. Another win for dash cams/body cams, which the liberals fought so hard to get and which, far more often than not, exonerate the police and prove what really happened!

No meds... Just liberal baby boomers running wild...or being themselves...

Pretty typical North east Liberal mentality on display:

I am important, you Officer are not

I make more money than you: You are scum

I am more educated than you: You are stuuppid

I am a mother: You don’t care

My children went to school here and all graduated: We are smarter than you, you did not get educated in our town: see above: you are stuuupid

Demand Respect: I am Commissioner Ass-wipe..

You will pay dearly for this for not obeying my superiority or connects at the country club, ie City Hall.. Threats of authoritative abuse

Bonus material: Cute how MIT and Yale and a Jewish holiday were tossed out as some kinda of justification...

When all else fails: fold up the fingers, point one and act like Liawatha Elizabeth Warren, while throwing F bombs.

Rich, connected, over employed female liberal baby boomer in a nut shell...

Sad part is she will get full benefits, no loss of any thing and will have bones and street creds with all the other Liberal Socialists that will have sympathy for her..

The one interesting thing is to me... what will all those young adults like her daughter, handle life in 10-15 years when those helicopter moms like the complete liberal looser on this video are at room temperature? How nasty or how utterly clueless will they be at handling everyday life?
