The Sanders campaign has hired Darius Khalil Gordon as Deputy Director of Constituency Organizing.
Gordon's Twitter has a long history of using a variety of slurs, none of which I want to type out myself. But they include wildly offensive anti-Semitic tropes, ableism, homophobic rhetoric and more. It's pretty disturbing stuff and it looks like Gordon's taken to deleting and hiding some of these tweets now.
This isn't the first time the Sanders Campaign has failed to vet staffers and has thusly hired homophobic, racist and incredibly problematic staff.
*EDIT* Update: He's been fired.
