1. And fire him.

[highplainsdem]

5. Yes. Fire him first. Then apologize.

Then maybe try to explain why he's made such execrable choices of people to surround himself with.

Voters deserve to hear that explanation, if there is one.

7. +1. Bernie should fire him and then end his campaign. n/t

[we can do it]

2. BS never should have hired him.

There is a pattern in his staff hires.

3. I think the surrogate should apologize to Michelle.

Sanders sure knows how to pick 'em.

4. What is it with the BS campaign hiring

such obnoxious people. The list is long and getting longer. I am weary of the defenders saying Sanders can’t control this and isn’t responsible for it. Baloney. If he held just one of these people to public account, it would stop...but he doesn’t. Wonder why?

10. He's desperate.

That’s the only answer that seems to make any sense.

15. "Obnoxious" is synonymous with "radical"

Isn't it?

[MontanaMama]

16. Sure.

And in the case of the BS campaign it is synonymous with mean-spirited, unkind, exclusive, divisive and reckless...I could go on and on.

6. I really doubt that sanders will do the right thing here

8. What the hell! Is the Agnew guy a cousin of Lee Atwater?

[Laelth]

9. Bernie doesn't need to apologize. Agnew does.

Those are rude and completely disrespectful comments. I can’t see how one can possibly believe that Bernie endorses them.

Agnew should apologize ... immediately.

I would not be shocked to discover that he already has.

11. At least one of those tweets was from 2009.

Yet Sanders hired him.

[Laelth]

12. Poor vetting, huh?

As I mentioned to a poster above, the only explanation that makes sense to me is that Bernie is desperate.

13. "Unhire" Mr Agnew

Then apologize to the Obamas. Then apologize to the country for his absolutely poor hiring decisions.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Bernie, do the right thing.

[ibegurpard]

17. Since this ia actually someone officially with his campaign

I think he should and i think he should let the guy go. I don't believe people should apologize for things others say. I definitely think they should condemn them though. In the case where you're actually bringing someone on to your campaign and it comes out they've said ugly shit like this you need to let them go and apologize for not being more thorough and responsible with your hires and condemn the statements.

18. Has Bernie fired him yet?
