When orthodox Jews in NYC were enduring a measles epidemic, they were met with attacks not empathy.

When they were enduring a wave of anti-semitic attacks they were ignored.

Now in the midst of a pandemic they are being scapegoated based on actions of a few.

not a good way

The only path to Bernie winning the nomination is to bring more Democrats together so he can actually win more than 50% of delegates. Hiring as his top press staff people who wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump is, uh, not a good way to win in 2020. https://t.co/Uk9yaKwBbA

I feel like with the addition of Shaun King, Nina Turner, Sirota, and Briahna Joy, Bernie intends to run the most extremely online campaign that has ever been.

Unlike Warren who is running the one of the most extremely policy driven campaign i have witnessed.

Why would anyone believe that Sanders was ethical in the first place?

I mean 2016 already proved he is not.

Fake Endorsements, use of logos & pictures without consent

Some important context here.

David Sirota is Bernie Sanders’ former spokesman.

He has been a de facto Bernie surrogate since 2015.

For some reason, he’s spreading disinformation about… Beto.
