1. And a 9/11 Truther? FU!

[mr_lebowski]

13. I don't believe we've been told the whole truth about 9/11 by any stretch ...

Particularly the level of involvement of the Saudi Government.

I'd also like to know how those guys happened to pick such an auspicious day ... when a major terrorist airplane-hijacking-and-crashing-into-buildings simulations was taking place (which caused convenient confusion for them) and so many of our fighter planes were out on a major training exercise.

Also, how did Hani Hanjour become so skilled at flying jumbo jets that he pulled off a maneuver at the Pentagon that numerous senior commercial pilots said they wouldn't be able to accomplish? Don't think we ever really heard how well-trained that dude really was. Pretty sure that matter is linked to the Saudi's, and hence suppressed.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that the last flight was blown out of the sky.

That one's the least of my concerns ...

[Beakybird]

23. So the US Government planned to destroy the WTC? Oy ve.

[mr_lebowski]

24. Did I say that?

I was very specific in regards to what I consider outstanding questions.

Note that none of them are 'did the USG plan to destroy the WTC'.

They don't even suggest that.

Oy vey indeed.

[George II]

2. Those last three show his respect, or lack of, for women.

[TwilightZone]

3. He also said he'd threaten to kill people in an airport if it wasn't illegal.

30. Just like Cenk. Very classy and egalitarian.

[True Blue American]

4. Has that guy ever

Looked in a mirror? Mad because women do not like him?

Michelle has more brains in her little finger, not to mention looks.

[virgogal]

5. Tweets baffle me..where is the

one referring to Michelle Obama?

[RandySF]

6. Click of the picture.

[NurseJackie]

7. It's all intentional. Not a lapse in judgement. It's an intentional backhanded slap at Democrats...

It's all intentional. Not a lapse in judgement. It's an intentional backhanded slap at Democrats and women (and our brave military).

8. Trumpian

recall Trump's comments on Carly Fiorina

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. That guy should crawl back under his rock

[evertonfc]

10. I have zero confidence in Bernies

ability to surround himself with decent human beings. I'm ready for Joe to rid this party of these people.

[trueblue2007]

41. I have zero confidence in Bernie

[mcar]

11. Where does he find these people?

One has to believe there are plenty of young progressives who would jump at the chance to get real campaign experience. Why does he keep scraping the barrel's bottom?

Also, vetting is your friend, Bernie.

[dalton99a]

12. He made a conscious decision to hire them

By all accounts, he is a perfectionist and a micromanager

He knows what's going on with his staff

[NYC Liberal]

21. At this point the only conclusion to draw is that he agrees with them.

He’s not a Democrat. He’s attacked Democrats and the Democratic Party for his entire career. He hires people who share his views. QED.

[mcar]

38. I've read the same

This is all on Bernie. Like all the other missteps.

[LenaBaby61]

33. "Where does he find these people?"

I very rarely if ever make comments re Bernie, but he has some 'bad' folks around him. Very bad, which is why you hear the rumors about all of the increasing discord contained within/around camp Sanders.

[mcar]

43. And he's hired them all

[Sloumeau]

14. Bernie's campaign apparently...

"only hires the best people".

[Codeine]

15. And people wonder why I question his political competence.

Can you imagine the administration he would have cobbled together had he miraculously squeaked out a win? He may inspire young people but he’s just absolute shit at his job.

[CatMor]

16. Maybe all that is left for Bernie to get ...

is the scrapping of the bottom of the barrel. Just like trump.

[kcr]

17. I've lost count the reasons why I won't support him

It's endless.

[Cha]

18. How Stupid is that? Agnew wanted the ******* Backlash!

[Initech]

19. This is going to be a disaster!

[Peacetrain]

20. Oh sweet Jesus where is he looking for his staff.. who is in charge in that campaign??

[Paladin]

22. Very glad to see Bernie's campaign going down in flames. (nt)

[Hav]

25. I think that was BS' attempt to improve his numbers with AA

Sure, he could have met with Lewis or make any other serious attempt to present his case. But as usual, he fails miserably because his amateur campaign cannot even get the basics right. I guess we'll find out soon how much lower his numbers can get. Looks like they are aiming for a negative number of support.

[Gothmog]

26. There is a pattern here and it is clear that sanders has poor judgement on staffing issues

No normal campaign would hire the person described in the OP. It was very poor judgement on the part of sanders to hire this nasty person. It was also poor judgement for sanders to hire and not fire Sirota. Sirota has long history of being a liar and a problem. I also think that it was very poor judgement for sanders to hire Jill Stein voters. sanders is running for the nomination of the Democratic Party and these two individuals are not Democrats.

I am glad that it is not likely that sanders will be the nominee in that I fear sanders poor judgement. I would hate to see Sirota and Stein supporters become part of his staff at the White House

[LakeArenal]

31. Or Nina Turner go VP

[rusty fender]

28. Wow!

Phlllip Agnew is toxic as fuck

[LW1977]

29. Too late for avoiding a backlash now.

[getagrip_already]

32. it was another perfect hire - perfect! n/t

[Iliyah]

34. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder . . .

But hot damn, Michelle is class and quite a looker. Senator Sanders can kiss the Black people goodbye.

[Happy Hoosier]

39. Even if one found her unattractive, why would anyone tweet that?

Simple: He intended to cause offense. He intended to insult here, and by extension, Barack. Fuck that guy.

[matt819]

35. Only the best people?

Is he hiring trump cast-offs?

This is disgusting. And he says nothing when shit like this happens. Sorry Bernie, but we’ve already been down this road.

[RVN VET71]

36. Don't know this guy

But the tweets posted here, unless they are proven to be bogus, condemn him as an a-hole and make Bernie look like he's been had.

Sanders is already dealing with the backlash to his stupid, stupid statements about Castro. Why the heck would he turn to a man who has a history of saying hateful, ugly, stupid things about the Obamas and other Democrats? It doesn't make any sense to me.

I am really confused and upset by this.

[Happy Hoosier]

40. I'd say Bernie had been had if this were the first instance.

Bernie has a history of of incredibly shitty staff appointments. If it's mistakes, it's a LOT of them.
