This is what David Sirota is spreading on twitter: [View all]

He's repeating misleading truncated quotes of Joe Biden AND circulating a graphic calling Biden "blue trump".

The "messenger" shoots him damn self.. Cha Jan 2020 #140

:) Sanders or his employee? Isn't Sirota just following orders? Hortensis Jan 2020 #134

I really don't know PatSeg Jan 2020 #136

:) Yes, but did he have a massive personality change, or Hortensis Jan 2020 #137

Sirota is Sanders' senior adviser and speechwriter. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #2

Jill Stein pusher and voter was hired for a reason.. Cha Jan 2020 #14

Hey I remember that guy melman Jan 2020 #19

Can we assume that Sanders approves of this? NurseJackie Jan 2020 #24

I think we can assume he doesn't disapprove. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #28

Silence equals consent. NurseJackie Jan 2020 #39

Shooting the messenger? DemocracyMouse Jan 2020 #128

Sirota is Sanders' "hitman", and it's beginning to look like a repeat of Philadelphia. Disgusting... George II Jan 2020 #33

Sanders needs to disavow this and fire Sirota NYMinute Jan 2020 #131

Sanders' lack of responsibility in picking his advisors is disqualifying, IMHO. LisaM Jan 2020 #80

Well said PatSeg Jan 2020 #104

Why doesn't Sanders call out his own campaign? He's at fault not the MSM. dem4decades Jan 2020 #27

How about if we mail them to Bernie first Mr.Bill Jan 2020 #92

Sirota and people like him are the enemies of the Democratic party. Renew Deal Jan 2020 #7

Sanders should fire Sirota forthwith. MineralMan Jan 2020 #9

Bernie is losing control over the propaganda published by his staff. beastie boy Jan 2020 #10

I Don't Believe He Is Not In Charge Of His Message Me. Jan 2020 #21

He may be in charge of his message, but I don't believe he realizes how awful, terrible, bad and beastie boy Jan 2020 #32

Then That Is An Even Bigger Problem Me. Jan 2020 #72

Exactly. nt redqueen Jan 2020 #83

It sure is. beastie boy Jan 2020 #90

Don't forget, he hired both Matt Orfalea and Darius Khalil Gordon before knowing about them.... George II Jan 2020 #65

I'm no longer convinced that he didn't know about them beforehand LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #69

Sanders knows who these people are just as he knew Cenk and gravitates to them. Lexee Jan 2020 #85

Or it is his idea. He very much is a micromanager. Why should I point the finger at staff Lexee Jan 2020 #78

Technically, the shit is coming from his staff. Bernie can still claim ignorance and slap a "Not me" beastie boy Jan 2020 #101

Sanders is responsible for his team. It is out there. He knows, as of this morning. Lexee Jan 2020 #103

Then, what does that say about Bernie as a leader? Blue_true Jan 2020 #121

It is at the direction of his boss. NT TidalWave46 Jan 2020 #11

Despicable. Cha Jan 2020 #26

These are Bernie's views. He owns them... SidDithers Jan 2020 #12

I think you're absolutely correct Docreed2003 Jan 2020 #51

Sanders needs to get rid of this guy mcar Jan 2020 #16

I think BS knew who sirota was when Cha Jan 2020 #25

And if he didn't, that's another failure of Sanders' vetting. greatauntoftriplets Jan 2020 #30

He knows.. he knew who cenk was, too. Cha Jan 2020 #44

Good point. How could he not know? greatauntoftriplets Jan 2020 #46

I think so too, Cha mcar Jan 2020 #40

Absolutely.. like they're Cha Jan 2020 #138

This is precisely why I don't want BS making cabinet and judicial appointments. Can you... Tarheel_Dem Jan 2020 #125

"circulating a graphic calling Biden "blue trump"." melman Jan 2020 #17

He's retweeted it, and he's retweeted the few seconds of the video, too. George II Jan 2020 #34

Well then I'm sure you can show us the proof melman Jan 2020 #35

It's all on twitter. I'm not going to scour Sirota's timeline, one example is enough for me. George II Jan 2020 #38

"one example is enough for me" melman Jan 2020 #43

So you're okay with the tweet that was posted? George II Jan 2020 #48

Which one? melman Jan 2020 #52

In case you were wondering, this is the twitter profile for Warren Gunnels: George II Jan 2020 #53

I wasn't melman Jan 2020 #57

Guess what? It was another Sirota hit and run, he's already deleted it. It's now.... George II Jan 2020 #60

So you are acknowledging there never was a retweet of this graphic melman Jan 2020 #66

Where did I acknowledge that? I didn't, but said that he's already deleted it. Please.... George II Jan 2020 #67

"stop saying what I didn't say or think" melman Jan 2020 #71

There was, and in typical Sirota fashion he left it up just long enough to get it's maximum effect.. George II Jan 2020 #73

Poor thing.. he's SO DESPERATE.. HOPE it BACKFIRES in Cha Jan 2020 #18

I wonder if he included screen shots of those with his resume when he applied for his current job. George II Jan 2020 #75

I think they probalby noticed Cha Jan 2020 #82

Not surprised in the least. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #22

Yep. Cha Jan 2020 #23

Where are all the Bernie defenders this morning? redstateblues Jan 2020 #29

Evidently. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #37

Scat, Cat! MineralMan Jan 2020 #41

I haven't seen the video, so can't comment. roody Jan 2020 #97

I hope that they are shocked and rethinking who they are backing. nt Blue_true Jan 2020 #122

Honest to God, I just cannot believe this is not known to Bernie or his campaign Peacetrain Jan 2020 #45

To quote a real Democrat: LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #47

EXACTLY!!! Peacetrain Jan 2020 #49

No doubt he knows, look at post #54. George II Jan 2020 #56

In fairness, Sirota does stuff like this so often... TwilightZone Jan 2020 #76

You call this "silliness"?? Really it's crap. Bernie needs to put a stop to this Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #98

Warren Gunnels' twitter profile: George II Jan 2020 #54

This type of bullshit from Sirota and Imes needs to be called out for what it truly is Docreed2003 Jan 2020 #58

When Sirota dumped 20,000 anti-Democratic Party tweets lapucelle Jan 2020 #63

Kind of hard to focus on the opposition when you are getting stabbed from behind. LuvLoogie Jan 2020 #64

Scum still_one Jan 2020 #70

It's horrifying that some reporters and people with big Twitter followings circulated that.. Cha Jan 2020 #74

Sickening, but it is not surprising I'm sad to say. R B Garr Jan 2020 #77

It is not surprising. Sanders has shown us who he is. I do not know why so many do not believe Lexee Jan 2020 #79

Yes, Sanders has shown us to be a principled man who has been on the correct side of so many issues. ArtTownsend Jan 2020 #81

The opposite of that. HE use to run on integrity. Not anymore. There is a reason for that. Lexee Jan 2020 #84

Principled?? On of the right side of things?? This is completely unprincipled Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #100

Lying in a cut up video is pretty obviously not principled. So one should wonder Lexee Jan 2020 #111

Who hires people like this? lapucelle Jan 2020 #86

Biden didn't say "Ryan was correct to go after social security and medicare". lapucelle Jan 2020 #116

Anything to defend Bernie and Sirota NYMinute Jan 2020 #133

One has to wonder what side Sirota is on. ehrnst Jan 2020 #109

Sirota, Turner, Weaver think nothing of dirty politics. It's all about OnDoutside Jan 2020 #129

bernie seems perfectly happy w the ratfuckers on his side. mopinko Jan 2020 #113

Actually we really don't have to tune them up, the campaign isn't making an effort to be subtle. George II Jan 2020 #115

This guy needs to be fired peggysue2 Jan 2020 #114
