Turner, an avowed progressive, had hoped to become part of the far-left \u201cSquad\u201d was left puzzled when Brown easily defeated her.<\/p>\n<p>She also immediately leveled an apparent anti-Semitic attack at her opponent, Brown, claiming that Brown took \u201cevil money\u201d to fund her campaign. Turner was, ostensibly, referring to a generous donation Brown received from the Democratic Majority for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am going to work hard to ensure that something like this never happens to a progressive candidate again. See, we didn\u2019t lose this race \u2014 evil money manipulated and maligned this election. See, I don\u2019t want you to relent, because it took evil money. They took evil money to come in here and do this. Well, I swear to you, that as sure as there is a God in heaven, sister Turner is going to continue working with every fiber of her being until true justice reigns,\u201d Turner said in her concession speech Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries, however, blamed progressives for their own loss, suggesting not just that their politics weren\u2019t in line with voters\u2019 but that their rhetoric was too inflammatory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe extreme left is obsessed with talking trash about mainstream Democrats on Twitter, when the majority of the electorate constitute mainstream Democrats at the polls,\u201d Jeffries said.<\/p>\n<p>He then vowed that Establishment Dems were not&nbsp;\u201cgoing to act like punching bags for the extreme left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Progressives do not appear to be taking Jeffries\u2019 advice to heart. On Twitter and in interviews, members of the Squad insisted that either Ohio was simply not ready for a more progressive Representative \u2014 a possibility given that the swing state tends to favor middle-of-the-road candidates. Voters in OH-11 went heavily for President Joe Biden and Democratic Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, who held the seat until she was tapped to serve in the Biden administration, was, generally speaking, a more moderate Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aaronlarnavarro\/status\/1422928843552215048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1422928843552215048%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fhotair.com%2Fjohn-s-2%2F2021%2F08%2F04%2Fchair-of-house-democratic-caucus-establishment-dems-are-done-being-punching-bags-for-the-extreme-left-n406786\">said that the Ohio primary<\/a> had no wider message and that the results meant \u201cabsolutely nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ohio election had indications for Republicans running in 2022 as well. A candidate, endorsed by former President Donald Trump was able to secure a win.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
