From a Bogus Website to Bernie Sanders's Inner Circle

David Sirota got fired from a Philly campaign 20 years ago for a racially charged “dirty trick” before he first went to work for the progressive from Vermont.

Face facts, Dan. If any other candidate hired someone with this background, you'd have posted at least five OPs talking about how it was 'disqualfying'...

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
