Not a peep from Sanders. HE HIRES these people. He should own up to his poor judgement.

(1,026 posts)It linked directly to his real Instagram. It was ignored until he was exposed by Daily Beast.
Quote:
Mora, who joined the Sanders campaign last fall as an organizer in Iowa, locked the account roughly six months ago so that only followersincluding at least one other person on the Sanders campaign payrollcould see what he tweeted. But the account, which features a photo of Mora as its avatar, links directly to his personal Instagram and shares its name as well, remains active, with more than 4,000 followers.

(94,727 posts)After this story was published, Mike Casca, the Sanders campaigns communications director, told The Daily Beast that we are running a multiracial, multigenerational campaign for justice where disgusting behavior and ugly personal attacks by our staff will not be tolerated.
Mora, the Sanders campaign confirmed, has been fired.

(94,727 posts)(CNN)Bernie Sanders' campaign has parted ways with a newly hired staffer after a conservative website unearthed a series of tweets allegedly from the staffer that contained anti-Semitic and homophobic language.
Darius Khalil Gordon announced Wednesday that he had taken a job with the campaign as the deputy director of constituency organizing. On Thursday, the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, reported that Gordan had sent tweets in 2010, 2011 and 2012 that contained offensive, anti-Semitic and homophobic slurs.
The tweets were no longer available on Gordon's page after the Free Beacon's post, and Gordon's Twitter account has since been deactivated.
The Sanders campaign told CNN that Gordon is no longer on the job.

(52,166 posts)This person had another account on Twitter which printed tweets about Pete that were 'sexual' and 'scatalogical' but couldn't be recited by the Daily Beast. This account got banned but not for those tweets, for comparing Megan McCain to Ms. Piggy. So you can call gays any name you want apparently but don't dare go after Megan.
