Sanders campaign spokeswoman: 'I don't endorse Joe Biden'

[William769]

The former press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) presidential campaign said Monday that she would not endorse former Vice President Joe Biden, shortly after Sanders appeared in an online video to announce support for his former rival in the general election against President Trump.

Briahna Joy Gray, who was Sanders's national spokeswoman until the campaign was suspended last week, has become a Twitter sensation in recent days for her searing attacks against Biden.

On Monday, just minutes after Sanders and Biden held a joint press conference to talk about how they would work together to defeat Trump, Gray responded on Twitter by saying she would not endorse Biden.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I'm shocked. Shocked!

[William769]

4. Me too!

[jmowreader]

58. And there isn't even any gambling going on here!

[samsingh]

2. I guess she would rather have drumpf as president

[Butterflylady]

84. Which tells one she doesn't give a dam about this country.

[Cattledog]

3. Who????

[True Blue American]

52. Never heard of her, but,I don't care,do you?

[calguy]

5. Always an asshole in the crowd

Paging Jill Stein???

[Me.]

6. Haven't You Already Done Enough Damage?

The only person who cares what you think is the Menace in the WH, cause he always knew you'd vote for him

[onecaliberal]

7. She's a fucking liar and a trump want to be.

[OnDoutside]

8. I need to sit down to take this shocking development in....

[SoonerPride]

9. Those who seek the perfect and throw out the good get evil in exchange

there is only one choice.

sanity or insanity.

if at this point you are undecided or on the fence or holding grudges, then, pardon my French, but fuck you.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right.

You really love Trump that much, huh?

[napi21]

11. First, is she going to vote for the Dem. nominee? If not, who will she vote for? zzI understand

very dedicated Bernie supporters are still hurt, angry, and disappointed that their choice was unsuccessful again, and it will take time for their hurt to heal. I certainly hope they aren't angry enough to vote for DT!

[lapucelle]

29. Here's what she did in 2016.

[yardwork]

41. Some people are just assholes.

[lapucelle]

74. She reminds me of the saying, "If you're not part of the solution,

you're part of the problem."

[uponit7771]

63. Why would anyone rehire this kind of person ?! jus damn,

[lapucelle]

75. What's interesting to me is that Symone Sanders is on Biden's team

this time around. Why BS hired bribri to replace her is bewildering.

[renate]

72. Someone didn't get enough attention when they were growing up

But she’s probably like Trump... there’s no such thing as enough attention for people like her. What a toddler.

[lapucelle]

77. Even in January of 2017, she was bragging about witholding her vote from Democrats.

[Codeine]

53. She didn't last time, why would she this time?

Nothing good has come out of this farce of a campaign.

[DarthDem]

12. Bye

You're no longer relevant, Ms. Gray.

[redstatebluegirl]

13. One of my former students posted something on twitter that he would not vote for an old rapist.

I blocked him, I normally don't do that. I try to rationalize it by saying they are young but not this time.

[spooky3]

82. I might tell him I'm glad Trump is not getting his vote. Nt

[still_one]

14. Get lost Jill Stein supporter and trump enabler. You are persona non grata, and good for Sanders in

firing your ass

Don’t let the door hit you ass on the way out

[William769]

16. ...

[hlthe2b]

15. Briahna Candace Owens Joy Gray

I'm sure they will follow a similar trajectory.

[Glimmer of Hope]

17. It is scary that Sander hired this person. Goodbye.

[GemDigger]

18. We knew that Briahna but did you know that YOU hurt Bernie Sanders campaign?

You cost him a lot of respect. Your big fat, can't keep your mouth shut turned off many people that would have voted for him.

Vote for Trump and may we never have to hear from you again.

[yardwork]

42. That's on Bernie. He hired her.

[GemDigger]

56. Several of them with the big mouths cost him and I agree Bernie paid the pitbulls.

[honest.abe]

19. She is losing relevance and will just be seen an an angry bitter sore loser.

She will have no impact on the end result no matter what she does from here on.

[TexasTowelie]

33. I agree.

I think she also realizes that her gravy train has ended and that she have to find a real job in an economy that is sour and employers having the option to find someone far less vocal.

There are a lot of people that work their way up the ladder and lose their best-paying jobs in their forties and fifties. There is a very strong possibility that Briahna has already had her best-paying job and she is only 35.

[brer cat]

20. Not a surprise.

I hope she doesn't think her non-endorsement is meaningful.

[brush]

21. She's making herself unemployable but for fringe candidates only from now on.

And that's a good thing. What a dummy. How does she not know this?

[Baclava]

22. So will she be taking the lead in endorsing the Green Party candidate now?

[HarlanPepper]

23. Turn your key card into HR, Bri. It's over.

[mvd]

24. Good thing Bernie's endorsement means a ton more

I love and supported Bernie, but his campaign staff choices have not been great. His campaign was never a tear people down for his issues campaign. It’s too bad he made some bad hires, because his issues polled well but he needed to sell himself as the right candidate.

[TexasTowelie]

25. Good luck finding a job Brie Brie.

I wouldn't hire you.

[TomCADem]

62. Bernie Hired Her Even After She Was Spouting Trump Talking Points...

...about Russia.

[handmade34]

26. going from supporting bernie

to trump is a bit much

[Docreed2003]

27. She never misses an opportunity to be an asshole

Bet she'll be crowing for Jill Stein soon

[LisaL]

28. And who the hell cares?

[lindysalsagal]

30. Bernie needs to make her correct that.

[lapucelle]

31. Thank you... NEXT!

[BlueIdaho]

32. How does it feel to be

Radioactive?

[Lulu KC]

34. Yawn.

Who asked you, BrieBrie?

[NightWatcher]

35. Workin hard for trump 2020.

Just point out that anyone who isn't helping the cause is actively working for trump 2020.

There's only one choice to make. Biden or Death at the hands of Putin's puppet.

[Turbineguy]

36. I understand.

Trump needs all the support he can get.

[Lock him up.]

37. Why can't they get in their heads that without the Senate...

... Bernie's agenda was going to be as good as the status quo, no matter how much hard he would have pushed for it?

Hate media would have screamed SOCIALISM 24/7 ... and the cowaRds would have believed it.

[LizBeth]

38. All this time, Sanders team players are anti Democratic demanding Democratic votes. Disgusting.

[Hortensis]

39. A tweet on Gray's account:

Link to tweet

Complete graphic:

[betsuni]

59. They think Biden is just pretending. If he is president he will veto anything progressive.

Typical comment: Bernie shouldn't be supporting someone he has spent his entire life opposing. To beat Trump, we need someone who will fight for Sanders' platform of health care as a human right, protecting social security, environmental issues, fair wages and free college.

Um ... Bernie told them he is the only one with progressive ideas so it must be true. Maybe some of them might start doubting their faith now.

[Hortensis]

85. Only part of the truth about liberal progressivism is in that simple table.

Not shown is that EVERY one of the positions Biden and Sander have been running on reflect the liberal progressive ideology of the Democratic Party and are in our 2016 platform. They are liberalism in principle and application.

Sanders copied the current Democratic positions to run on then and now but tweaked them to "more" for those who wanted to be deceived, like from free community college to free four-year, and then claimed Democrats were AGAINST them. From long before he arrived in congress and over the 29 years to now, many of his Democratic colleagues have believed four-year college education should be free, an investment in our people and nation.

As for those commenters, those sorts are an unfortunate drag on progress, and sometimes dangerous, in every era. Lincoln's some who can be fooled all the time, because they insist on it, are always with us. Today's true believers right and left are alike in their determination to follow the false leaders they always find and in their false belief in their own virtue.

To have good government we must elect good people.

[Demonaut]

40. good riddance, too stupid

[demtenjeep]

43. who the fuck cares

not me

[Wounded Bear]

44. Didn't Bernie just fire her?

If not, he should.

[jmg257]

45. Wow - lots of people in that thread agree with her.

WTF???

[Codeine]

54. Bros gonna bro.

It’s what they do and who they are.

[rufus dog]

71. Same old group, David D., Susan S., Krystal Ball

On a related subject, if Ball's parents were into using a play on words, wouldn't Ophelia be a better choice?

[Cha]

46. Who cares, BJG.. that's actually a Great Endorsement for

Joe Biden.

[comradebillyboy]

47. Red Rose Twitter is encouraging Bri Bri to primary

Elizabeth Warren. The Justice Dems and DSA types are just freaking out.

[TexasTowelie]

68. Please, oh please.

Warren will kick her ass to the curb.

[WestCoastYellowDog]

48. With all due respect, I don't care about Ms. Gray's opinion

[JCMach1]

49. As a Sanders supporter I have no patience for this bullshit today

But I can tell you this ignorant attitude is pretty common.

[William769]

50. Yes she is ignorant among many other things.

Sanders took a big step today, I applaud him for that.

[MontanaMama]

51. BJG is a trump humper after all.

Not a bit surprised.

[Codeine]

55. Most of her ilk are. nt

[NurseJackie]

57. Fuck her very much.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

60. No ones cares Brianna

Your 15 minutes of fame are over.

[TomCADem]

61. This The Issue. Bernie Hired and Re-Hired These Types of Folks...

...or deployed surrogates like Briahna and Susan Sarandon whose primary objective it to try to destroy the Democratic party. It really undercuts Bernie's endorsement if he has his surrogates like Joe Rogan and Gray announcing their support for Trump or for the Green Party.

[uponit7771]

64. +1, posted something similar; who would rehire this kind of person ?! Fuck them

[nolawarlock]

65. The three gorgons are a huge part of why Bernie lost ...

Perhaps as much as or even more as the toxic Bros, Bernie's hiring of the Third Party Gorgons reinforced the message to every Democratic Party voter that he was not a team player. Living in Louisana coming from Boston, I went from a place where football was a hugely popular pastime to a place where it's an obsessive religion. People love their teams. Dem voters saw that Bernie wasn't on that team and voted accordingly. It's strange that so many independents cannot grasp this concept.

[ismnotwasm]

66. She not getting the warmest reception either

[ibegurpard]

67. Yeah well Sanders did

Let this person toil in obscurity

[GeorgiaPeanut]

69. We told you so Bernie supporters

Do you believe us now?

[mcar]

70. Unemployed flack says what?

[mshasta]

73. One.......tear

Let’s be more mature and smart and start working together

[GoneOffShore]

76. From a friend of a friend on FB - One gay guy's reasons to vote for Biden

I wish I could send her this - She's a spoiled little shit.

From my friend Michael Pristash. Best post of the day.

Warning: cursing ahead.

I'm about to say something that will win me no friends and will likely cost me a few. I will try to be as delicate and *eloquent* as possible.

I'm a Progressive. I'm a gay, overly privileged cisgender white man. No, Vice President Biden wasn't my first choice to take on Trump in November. He's not progressive enough for me, and frankly, he's not the woman I wanted for the job.

But for those of you complaining about Biden as the likely Democratic nominee, and especially for those threatening to not vote for him and encouraging others to do the same:

Fuck you. Fuck you and your overly privileged existence. Fuck you for complaining whilst bitching from your couch, playing your video games and planning your next night out, viewing of Rupaul's Drag Race, and Genderqueer or "Bears Only" orgy.

He's out there each day busting his ass, trying to be the one to take on Trump head-to-head. He's old, he's tired, he's lost more than he could ever stand to gain by doing this. This isn't a vanity project. This is running the motherfucking United States from out of the ground. There is no glory in politics. You're hated more than you're appreciated. And damn it, this man is doing it anyway . . . for you, for me, for all of us . . . because he's about the only one who can right now.

So straighten up and be grateful, you pieces of shit. Until you're ready to put yourself on the line and try to lead us out of this hell-hole we're in, shut the fuck up, put your head down, and do the work to make sure this man gets elected.

He's not my guy either, but he's a hell of a guy to sacrifice what ought to be his restful, relaxed, and well-earned golden years to try to save our collective asses.

Stop being fucking assholes. Show some gratitude and get your shit together. We have a fight ahead of us . . . especially with all the ways the GOP electioneer and cheat. We need every moderate, Democratic, and Progressive vote we can get up and down the ballot.

I mean this with loving kindness.

I say this because we need to do better. I say this because I love this country, this planet, the environment, humankind, and the freedoms we still have.

[MontanaFarmer]

78. She knows her 15 minutes are up,

and no other serious democratic campaign will ever touch her. Good riddance.

[SledDriver]

79. A vote for Trump

[grantcart]

80. Bye bye Felicia

[MrsCoffee]

81. That thread is a perfect example of just how disgusting Sanders campaign had become.

The damage will not be easily undone. I will never forgive him for the last five years. I hope he is investigated along with Our Revolution. Sketchy as shit.

P.S. - Nobody cares who she endorses. Nobody.

[exboyfil]

83. I am for a 7-2 GOP Supreme Court

[DFW]

86. Her endorsement (or lack of it) won't be news in about a week

And it will carry less weight than mosquito droppings.
