(779 posts)Bernie Sanders is preparing for the coming onslaught of attacks by hiring someone who knows the material best. The Vermont senators campaign is bringing on a veteran of Hillary Clintons research department who helped pull together the former secretary of States opposition-research book on Sanders in 2016, according to Democrats familiar with the decision.
Tyson Brody, Clintons deputy research director during the last election cycle, will direct Sanderss research operation, Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir confirmed to Intelligencer on Wednesday. Brody, who worked on Clintons self-research as well as the Sanders oppo files last cycle, is the first Democrat to go from Clintons camp to Sanderss 2020 campaign after their bitter primary fight.
This campaign will comport itself according to the values of Senator Sanders, which means we will not engage in mudslinging or character assassination. That said, one of the reasons we hired Tyson is to prepare this campaign for whatever false accusations and allegations are leveled against us, Shakir said in a statement. Most importantly, Tysons work on this campaign will help us educate voters about the issues, policies and stances that the Senator has taken over the course of a lifetime fighting for working people.
