Update:

Following original publication of this story, other explanations surrounding what exactly transpired between Nina Turner and the DNC emerged, including those disputing her credentials had been stripped or that she was ejected from the hall—a potential distinction without a difference. Ben Jealous, former head of the NAACP and himself a prominent Sanders surrogate, claimed via Twitter that earlier reporting, though based on a reliable source and verified prior to publication, was inaccurate.

Shaun King, columnist with the New York Daily News, reports speaking directly to Turner and sent out a series of tweets:

. @AJVicens @chrislhayes @ninaturner her credentials were NOT revoked. That's a fabrication. She was slighted in several other ways, though.

It was @NinaTurner who won me over to support & campaign for Bernie.

Just spoke with Nina. Heartbroken over how she was mistreated today.

. @AJVicens @chrislhayes @ninaturner //It is 1am, but I believe Senator Turner will address this herself tomorrow, on her terms.

— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) July 27, 2016

As King notes, and as was explained to this writer by his source, Turner herself is planning to address the controversy directly, offering her side of the story, but not until some point on Wednesday. All interested parties will look forward to hearing that account.

Earlier:

Just before former president Bill Clinton took the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, progressive social media lit up with news that former Ohio state senator Nina Turner, one of Bernie Sanders' most celebrated surrogates, had her convention credentials stripped by the DNC and was ejected from the convention hall.

Though Turner has yet to make any public statement on the situation at this hour, Common Dreams communicated with a source close to Turner who confirmed that her credentials had been taken away. Though postings on social media indicated Turner was punished "for criticizing DNC corruption," those claims could not be independently verified. The DNC has yet to make any official statement on the matter.

The source, familiar with some of the details but not authorized to discuss them, said the DNC also cut Turner and another prominent and effective surrogate, actress Rosario Dawson, from the promotional video that aired just before Sanders' remarks during Tuesday's roll call. Sanders reportedly fought the moves, but was not able to overturn the decision.

Turner has become a celebrated voice among those embracing Sanders' progressive campaign. In recent days, many of his delegates even pushed an idea to nominate Turner as a replacement vice-presidential candidate as a way to express dissatisfaction with Hillary Clinton's choice of Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia. Earlier on Tuesday, Turner essentially put those suggestions to rest.

"Oh God, no, not at all," she responded when asked if she would want the VP spot. Though Sanders supporters "are very frustrated and upset," she reportedly added, "any presidential candidate has the right to pick their vice presidential running mate. We’ve got to keep our eye on the movement."

Earlier on Tuesday, a massive walkout of Sanders volunteers and supporters occurred at the convention after hundreds who had been promised access to the floor were reportedly denied.
