Bernie continuously surrounds himself with absolutely horrible people.
This should be a gigantic warning sign to anyone who supports him.
yeah that's too old for this. very disappointed w/ the Sanders staff just failing to vet their employees.
You think this Jewish presidential candidate is deliberately hiring an anti-Semite?Bernie continuously surrounds himself with absolutely horrible people.
This should be a gigantic warning sign to anyone who supports him.
It's not just the language, it's the sentiments they express, which are far, far worse and not the sort of thing you magically grow out of unless you're forced to confront them.
I get that sentiment, but we have literally no idea what this person has done since. He may have done plenty to try to correct his behavior...or he could've done absolutely nothing. Making a judgment based on old selected tweets from a site Ive never heard of and judging who this person must be now feels incredibly inappropriate. The article is literally just the tweets. No other info about this person.I'm fine with forgiving youthful indiscretions but there are plenty of qualified candidates who didn't throw those terms around and that's a perfectly good reason to hire them instead- all things being equal- but his inept reaction shows incompetence as well as a history of basically every hatred you can think of.
and to be honest I think it's a deep sign of a serious character flaw rather than a couple of misguided tweets.
Fire him immediately then. 22 isnt too young to know better.
It doesn't change anything for me. Am I supposed to think the Bernie campaign is anti-semitic now because of those tweets? I mean that would be silly. But it does show bad judgment on the part of his staff that this isn't the first time this has happened. Bernie team hires someone and then it turns out that person wrote bad things in the past. like it shouldn't have happened the first time. why is it happening again? why hasn't the vetting process they use not improved? Why does this only seem to be a problem for his campaign?This is so ridiculous. Some campaign staffer missed tweets that are TEN years old, and now his supporters are bad people if they don't disavow Bernie? If you really think this, you better at least hold the other candidates to the same standard *Cough Lis Smith + Mayor Pete Cough*
Oh my. Why the hell is he still talking about junior high?
Remember the Matt Orfalea hiring debacle?It doesn't change anything for me. Am I supposed to think the Bernie campaign is anti-semitic now because of those tweets? I mean it's kind of silly. But it does show bad judgment on the part of his staff that this isn't the first time this has happened.

Did those tweets not happen then?
Okay so we're just taking the word of this obvious alt-right rag seriously then huh.
Bernie Sanders is Jewish.
I mean... its not great that it happened regardless of who broke the story. the guy might have had a great career as an organizer and maybe everyone likes him. but you still vet his social media.

Or we could just look at the tweets themselves, some of which are still up.

One of the tweet replies said he was 22 at the time so I googled his name and in his LinkedIn profile it said he graduated college in 2010 so it lines up unless he was a boy genius.
He's now a public figure on a campaign so the onus is on him to prove that he's changed with a public apology.It was 9 years ago and there seems to be no trace of it since.
The fact that some of you guys can't accept that people can grow and learn from their mistakes is more telling of you then it is them.
Not only that, but this seems to have been started by a right-wing site, so the same shit that happened with Gunn.
Some of you are so fucking quick to cast the first stone its a joke. Like fuck you all weren't saying stupid shit 10 years ago, or when you were still in college.
Are you saying the person in the OP tweet who gathered these is associated with that site or are you saying those tweets are fake?

Gotcha. The wildness of a 22 year old talking shit to jr high students was/is still really throwing me

Excuse me?
