Bernie's Campaign Uses COVID-19 Crisis To Attack Critics

[TomCADem]

We are in the midst of a catastrophe and Bernie Sanders senior advisor thinks its a good time to complain about how unfair it was to condemn the harassment perpetrated by Bernie supporters, stating, "12 days ago, as a lethal pandemic enveloped the planet, the “raging controversy” dominating American politics and political media was about whether or not some tweets and emojis were too mean."

In doing so, he makes light of the snake emojis being used to refer to Elizabeth Warren by Bernie's supporters:

Yup, nothing like a pandemic where thousands will die for Bernie's senior advisor, David Sirota, to settle political grievances.

1. His staff seems to have lost their collective minds.

The constant victimhood also isn't a good look.

2. Is that the excuse that campaign wants to use for everything they don't want to deal with?

"I am dealing with a fucking global crisis"

Isn't that jus the qualities one wants to see in a President?

4. One day ago, as a lethal pandemic enveloped the planet...

...Sanders was in Vermont cosplaying as Joe Rogan or Cenk Uygur by hosting an internet talk show (with musical guests!), all the while actual senators were in Washington doing their day jobs by trying to craft a bipartisan agreement on coronavirus-related legislation to help everyday Americans.

5. Geeze!! And this guy thinks he oughtta be president?!

Thank heavens that isn’t going to happen!

12. Absolutely shameful.

17. He's always been self-exiled and thus uninvolved and

of course without achievement. In the Capitol or Vermont, almost irrelevant.

9. By That Same Logic, We Are In Midst of a Pandemic...

...and Bernie's campaign is once again complaining about media coverage?

Again. I assume you would condemn Bernie for making all of his usual complaints, rather than focusing on the COVID-19 crisis? In the best of times or the worst of times, it always seems to be right time for Bernie to complain how things are so unfair for him.

We already have a snowflake in the White House. We do not need to replace Trump with another snowflake.

Bernie Sanders goes into attack mode, skewering Joe Biden and the media after a string of crushing defeats on Super Tuesday

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont went on the attack Wednesday following a string of disappointing losses in the Super Tuesday Democratic presidential elections.

He kicked things off at a press conference by skewering the "corporate media," which he accused of adopting an adversarial stance against his campaign.

Sanders said he had dealt with "venom" from some in the media, mentioning that his campaign had been compared to the novel coronavirus as well as the Nazi occupation of France during World War II.

"As we come into the last several months of this campaign, what I hope very much is that what we can focus on is an issue-oriented campaign which deals with the concerns of the American people," he said.

13. We want to know why Sanders is still on his futile quest for the Presidency instead of doing his job

as a Senator now.

7. I hope that adviser and others with the same reasoning

have destroyed their careers and lost their friends. They have earned no less.

8. Crisis Reveals Character

Or lack there of...

10. I thought Sirota deleted his account and quit. Maybe I am thinking of someone else.

He's a piece of work regardless.

11. They have a difficult time accepting responsibility.

The American people were choosing the person to possibly be the next POTUS. How you run, who you hire, reflex on how you will govern. The Sanders campaign might not see a problem with how the campaign behaved but thankfully, the American people did.

14. BS LOST the VOTERS.. Get That Through your

head, Sirota.

[Scurrilous]

15. K&R

[ehrnst]

16. That's a rather status quo ruthless political strategy....

[Cha]

19. Using a Pandemic Crisis to attack critics is Desperate.

[BGBD]

18. Among all the reasons to not vote for Sanders...

is to help make sure David Sirota NEVER steps foot in the White House.

[NCProgressive]

20. This is beyond desperation

transcends the metaphysical exactitude

Stupid David Sirota -- his candidate's problem is not holding on to the supporters he has but attracting "new" supporters. This idiocy repulses them even when the existing supporters cheer on. However, that makes his candidate lose even worse than he otherwise would have lost.

21. How do you hold a round table on COVID 19 with no medical expert?
