Sylvester Turner, is the liberal, pro-China Democrat mayor of Houston, Texas who wants to defund the Houston Police Department, just like other Democrat mayors.[1] He is strongly and unequivocally pro-abortion.[2] Sylvester Turner's wife, Cheryl Turner, is currently in prison, for stealing like $143,000 from an elderly man in a church.[3] His home has 17 floors, despite the high poverty in Houston.[4]
Sylvester Turner pleaded and sided with criminals to "chill".[5]
Sympathy with China
When President Trump closed the Chinese consulate in Houston, Sylvester Turner did nothing, but he defended China in a gingerly way. Wanting more relationships with the Chinese government, he called them "Houston's third-largest trading partner", and defending China's handling of the coronavirus, by saying "China helped protect Houstonians and first reporters during the COVID-19 pandemic, with medical supplies and face masks". He also hoped that the consulate would reopen, to resume trade with the Chinese Communist Party.[6]
Sylvester Turner always defends friendship and trade with China[7][8], even when China became the second country to get $10 trillion in GDP.
Chinese state-run media praised Sylvester Turner for "curbing" the spread of the virus, even when COVID-19 was going up in Houston.[9]
Communist ties
The pro-Antifa Houston Communist Party has congratulated Sylvester Turner for denouncing "Trump's fascist and racist campaign".[10]
Here is what the Communists said: "Thank you, Sylvester Turner, Mayor of Houston, for denouncing the hostile anti-immigrant rhetoric of Donald J. Trump and his fascist campaign",
