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

Posted on 04/25/2018 11:28:29 AM PDT by NRx

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.

This is one of the few times where we’d all like to see a random police shooting.

I’m pretty sure the Commissioners of the Port Authority of NY & NJ are unpaid positions.

They want you to think they are smart people. These are not smart people.

Evil, wicked, mean & nasty, yes. Intelligent, not so much.

Notice the Ph.D. MIT folks weren’t smart enough to keep current tags, registration & insurance on their car either. But a phone call to mommy was supposed to make this go away.

I pray this country gets what is needed, good and hard, and soon. This shit cannot go on much longer, it is intolerable. Bitches like this are a huge part of it.

This is a teachable moment as Rush would say. It’s an exquisite example not only of the Left’s arrogant elitism but also their contempt for our police force who have to do their jobs every day not knowing for sure they’ll come home. This was an absolutely despicable display. I’m so damn glad I’m a conservative woman!

Oh, and, Caren, FTR we know exactly who you are!

That is what we almost had and thank Donald Trump that we don’t.

That is an understatement.

I hope her daughter was embarrassed. Such a disgrace but a Liberal never has any truthful shame. It doesn't matter because libtards probably think she is a hero while NJ scum bureaucracy will find another useful idiot to get paid $200,000 a year. Think about that as we cross GWB at $15.00 or other bridges and tunnels. Furthermore, underpaid police have to put up with this type of garbage as everyday police officers are killed in the line of duty.

I also think, like Clinton most days, that this woman was drunk.

Expose these people every chance you get. Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Contrast that with uber-leftist Toronto praising the police officer who didn’t shoot down the guy who had just run over and killed ten people with his van.

I saw that. I’m still wondering if the officer was carrying a weapon loaded with live ammo. And I’m not being facetious.

I’ve lived in Toronto, Mississauga actually, and if the cop was on duty, that piece was loaded. He put it down, pulled out his baton, and the perp caved. Just crazy. The perp had a dark object in his hand.
