90. Bidens' brother isn't on his campaign staff. And to dismiss sexual harassment as simply "stupid"

doesn't show an understanding of harassment.

And Sanders hired the staffer back - Robert Becker, the lead for his campaign in Iowa, so yes, he personally approved that hire - after he was let go to head up "Bernie for America."

Also, Bernie's National Deputy Political Director Arturo Carmona ( yes, Bernie personally approved that hire) who was named in harassment charges, got "demoted up" according to one of the women involved, and then invited to "The Gathering" in December 2018 - long after his victims finally went public, after frustration after no communication whatsoever from Senator Sanders about the harassment after they emailed him about it, that nothing was going to change in the campaign.

So no, Becker and Carmona, who Candidate Sanders personally hired, didn't simply "act stupid" they did something much worse.

I hope that clarifies things for you. No hypocrisy whatsoever - Sanders' staffers actions are not even in the same category as Biden's brother's actions, concering how it connected it is to the candidate.
