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

Look at who a person has around them. It tells you a lot. I agree that Sanders is well aware and has chosen this in his campaign. The upside? It is not one of our Dems. Our Dems don't do this. Sanders had people stealing stuff from HRC previously. This is not new behavior.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

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

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

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

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

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

"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

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

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
