Bernie's spokesperson follows Twitter account named "Joe Biden is a racist"

[Archive Hunter]

Briahna Joy Gray (Sanders'press secretary) follows the following account on Twitter:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Quelle surprise.

[TexasTowelie]

2. I'm never surprised by her anymore. nt

[Paka]

3. Simply keeping informed.

What's so wrong with that?

[Archive Hunter]

6. The username a message in itself

Every time Bernie's spokesperson retweets a comment from this account, users see "Joe Biden is a racist".
For instance, Gray retweeted the user today.


It is not obvious that Gray (who yesterday deleted a tweet attacking John Lewis) disagrees with the race-baiting message.

[Paka]

14. Obviously, as a not twitter person, I don't understand the basics.

I still think it's a stretch too far to belittle Bernie because she follows someone to keep informed.

[awesomerwb1]

16. So if you don't understand this

maybe learning before jumping to defend St Bernie would be the wisest choice?

[Paka]

27. Please see my response to post #17!

I don't think I deserve your unkind words.

[Thekaspervote]

17. Just an FYI.. one does not have to follow someone to see what they are up to on twitter

[Paka]

26. Thank you.

That was a much kinder response that the one who just blasted me for defending "St. Bernie." I'm old and I don't understanding a lot of the new online venues, but I can learn. I appreciate your respect.

[Gothmog]

4. Who is surprised by this??

[Aaron Pereira]

5. Wow, I went to that person's Twitter account to see for myself.

Most of her posts seem to revolve around the idea that Joe Biden is a racist.

[Archive Hunter]

7. Yesterday she deleted a tweet attacking John Lewis

She wasn't vetted.

[ritapria]

8. I am more interested in which candidate supported the War in Iraq

and which candidate did not .… Which candidate supported the Repeal of Glass- Stegall and which candidate did not ….Ditto for the disastrous Bankruptcy Bill .. Ditto for NAFTA …. If you support these votes , then Joe is your man … If you can't defend this record but still support Joe , you resort to this nonsense ….Let's elevate the discourse , shall we ?

[Archive Hunter]

9. Obama picked Joe as his VP

Discuss.

[Cha]

29. lol!

Thank you!

[TexasTowelie]

12. I'm more interested in which candidate didn't show up to impose sanctions on Russia.

At least that happened within the past 10 years and is far more important to current foreign policy.

[melman]

19. Yeah things are totally fine in Iraq now

Oh wait..

[TexasTowelie]

22. So which is more important as far as foreign policy is concerned,

Russia or Iraq? Only one of them is aiming nuclear weapons at us now.

Get your priorities straight.

[KitSileya]

39. Only one of them is actively messing in American politics.

Only one of these countries has changed the result of a Presidential election. Only one of these countries is currently shaping American foreign policy through their asset in the White House. Only one of these countries is a potent threat to American democracy.

The fact that this one country is also working to help two of the candidates in the Democratic primary, shouldn’t make supporters of those two candidates dismiss the clear and present danger this is to the country. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend- they’re a snake in the grass, waiting to bite you. Russia doesn’t promote Senator Sanders and Rep. Gabbard because they think it’s better for the USA, they do it because it’s better for Russia.

[lapucelle]

43. BS voted both to invade Afghanistan and to fund the war in Iraq.

He also lobbied for the $1,000,000,000 F-35 war machine, the costliest boondoggle in the history of the Pentagon.

AND he voted against Russia sanctions twice and was noticeably absent the last time a vote was taken in January 2019.

[Paka]

15. Thank you.

Well stated.

[Thekaspervote]

18. You changed the subject! If the discourse were elevated it wouldn't be pretty for bernie

[UniteFightBack]

21. Hey ya know what I'm interested in? Who can beat dotard dump in a general election...REMEMBER THAT?

[AlexSFCA]

25. I'm more interested in a candidate that is most likely to beat trump

regardless of policy differences.

[whathehell]

28. Except we can't really know that now, can we?

Since we're almost a year away from the election.

[AlexSFCA]

44. all we can know is polls

[whathehell]

53. Polls often change

over time.

[Cha]

30. Yeah, I'm sure you would like to distract from BS'

spoxes.. but it's NOT working.

Of course you don't give a fig about what they're doing.

[lapucelle]

42. I'm more interested in which candidate supported the Brady Bill

and which candidate voted against it time after time.

Which candidate supported Russia sanctions and which did not.

Ditto voting with the Republican majority for the disastrous Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act which gives gun manufacturers a specially carved out exemption from liability.

Ditto the lobbying for trillions in funding for the F-35 war machine.

Ditto the shipping of nuclear waste out of white neighborhoods and into predominantly brown communities thousands of miles away.

Ditto the hiring of senior staff who gleefully undermined the 2016 Democratic GE candidate and helped install Trump in the White House.

If you support these votes and policies, BS is your man. If you can't defend this record, but still support BS...it might be time to look in the mirror.

[TexasTowelie]

50. Ouch!

Nice rebuttal.

[LongtimeAZDem]

49. "Elevate the discourse"? I'll only believe you really mean that if you condemn the Sirota attacks

[writes3000]

11. Isn't it possible this person recently changed their Twitter name?

Seems fishy to me but maybe this spokesperson doesn’t mind creating problems for Bernie by association.

We should all be careful who we follow on social media.

[ehrnst]

45. Because of course. (nt)

[still_one]

13. That Sanders doesn't fire her speaks volumes

[Thekaspervote]

20. Like supporting uger, keeping attack dogs Sirota and turner, taking on establishment Dems...

News flash... Nadler, Waters, Pelosi, Schiff, swalwell, John Lewis, Schumer are the establishment Dems that stand between us and total chaos

https://www.google.com/search?q=picture+of+schiff+pelosi+waters+nadler&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=_Ggz_NNITBtRxM:

It makes me so so proud when I look at pictures like these... kudos to the establishment Dems.”

[Cha]

31. Excellent point.. time to kick

that one again.

[TexasTowelie]

23. +1

[betsuni]

33. +1

[SCVDem]

24. Only the finest people.

Et Tu Bernie?

[betsuni]

32. Same as last time this will be used to depress the Democratic vote.

Whoever the nominee is, they'll be smeared as racist.

[Cha]

34. Absolutely Sickening.

Their Desperation is Palpable.

[dansolo]

38. It is worse than desperation

People like this want to depress Democratic turnout so we lose. Then they can turn around in the next election cycle and claim that if we picked a candidate that is further to the left, we would have won. That is exactly what happened in 2016, and it is happening again.

[Cha]

48. Exactly.. Thank You, dansolo.

We knew it would.

[progressoid]

35. I see J.D. Scholten also follows this account. He's running against Steve King.

He's also following 96,540 other accounts as well. I doubt he knows each one personally.

[whistler162]

37. This should have been posted today since

today is whine about Sanders day. Yesterday was whine about Mayor Pete day.

[efhmc]

40. "I don't feel obligated to fight fair." Interesting quote from that account.

BTW, it is fairly.

[PDittie]

41. No that's Beth Lynch

and she's just baiting you.

[efhmc]

51. I never reply to these people. I use their post to identify and block them.

Sorry it was a different person but the same concept. I use twitter to write what I really feel about so called Democrats.

[BannonsLiver]

46. Only the best people.
