A surrogate for Joe Bidens presidential campaign was, in her words in a group chat, forced to resign on Monday from Pennsylvania Young Democrats after promoting a doctored video of fellow 2020 contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and for allegedly sharing anti-Semitic tweets about him and his online supporters.
Lindy Li previously served as the treasurer for the Pennsylvania Young Democrats, a position she has since admittedly resigned.
