Looks like Orfalea has been rehired, or working "free lance" for the Sanders campaign

Bernie Sanders Drops Just-Hired Video Staffer After ‘Offensive’ Videos Spark Outrage

A staffer for 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign video team was hired and dropped in less than 24 hours, after old comedy YouTube videos, which were described as offensive, came to light.

Video creator Matt Orfalea announced his employment with the Bernie Sanders campaign on Sunday, declaring, “Excited to announce I’m officially joining the Bernie Sanders campaign’s video team. I was assured I will have considerable creative freedom! Can’t wait to make more videos, expose more truth, and get Bernie Sanders elected. Thank you all for your support!”




Now Jane Sanders is praising him (Once again....):

cares about. It would be a pretty smooth move. Get all the people who hate Bernie all outraged about some non-issue nobody could possibly care about, like what some guy who is not affiliated with the campaign said ten years ago.

Meanwhile keep talking about things like healthcare, Social Security, college debt, climate.

Or Joe Rogan or any other person who has a history of being racist bigots. What other conclusion is there? They're OK with it and have shown us that time and time again. Make no mistake! It's wrong! No matter how anyone tries to spin it and it makes it hard to be in solidarity with this group. How can anyone join a movement that is OK with this?
