Tinker Blames Cohen for Hate Crimes Controversy
by Jackson BakerArticle Tools
- Nikki Tinker
Apparently joining in the attack, led by LaSimba Gray and others, Tinker had this to say Thursday about the congressman's reaction to the ambush reception that greeted him when he met Tuesday with members of the Memphis Baptist Ministerial Association:
"Rep. Cohen is playing the worse [sic] kind of politics and attempting to lay his failure to have a positive and constructive dialogue with the constituents at my feet -- and his accusations are pure fiction. I am not going to play the politics of divide and conquer with Rep. Cohen -- my values simply will not allow it."
Tinker's emailed statement, reported in Friday's editions of The Commercial Appeal, was her evident response to the newspaper's persistent inquiries.
Like Cohen, the CA has been the target of organized hostility from the Association, which has announced a boycott effort against the newspaper.

Why is this puppet with no political experience who moved here simply to run for congress getting this kind of attention? The election is OVER A YEAR away.
She's a real piece of work, what a carpetbagger.
Hmm. We STILL don't know what she thinks about the hate crimes bill. Or any other issue, for that matter. But then, the ministers are helping to fund her campaign, so it's not likely she's going to criticize them.
Ms. Tinker would be wise to state that she will not support divisive issues like inserting homosexuality as a protected class in the hate crimes bill. That she supports a hate crime bill that protects legitimate groups and classes of people, but will not be bought off by homosexual activists looking to tie themselves to legitimate aggrieved groups.
Why cannot people just be humane to each other without an agenda? That is all the God and Jesus asked of us. It appears that Nikki Tinker joined the ranks of evil and corruptness with LaSimba Gray. They participate in racist actions, aggression, embed lies in truths for hampering the creation of something good for God’s children, using God’s name in vain through claims they are acting or speaking for God, and their active support of racial divide. Is this really God’s desire? Come on, Memphis… give the axis of evil a rest and yourself respect for some intelligence! You know who you are! We are all human and nothing more (except for the servants of Satan who speaks and displays black and white negativities). Henry Brown
Just another day in River City with haterations based on race and religion. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Memphis is stuck in the past and will never get out of it.
I respect Nikki for not allowing herself to get bogged down into a morass of politically-motivated attacks that she is more or less single-handedly responsible for. Truly, she is the most noble woman for the job.
Tinker needs to take some classes on lying because it is obvious she is in cahoots with the ministers of evil because Pinnacle flew them around the city. Someone from Pinnacle Airlines needs too come forward and explain what the hell this is all about!
Tinker is a shill for the rich and well connected i.e. Pinnacle Airlines, the Fords, etc. They want her in DC for a reason. If it takes dividing the city to win, she's a player. Too bad the black preachers are either too blind or too dumb to see the truth. And the sheep will follow them.
Pinnacle Airlines needs to clarify their position in this pathetic affair!
