M. Mendoza Ferrer (@m_mendozaferrer) Tweeted:
It's repugnant that the @BernieSanders campaign has hired Orfalea to be an official member of their video team. Sanders should be ashamed - and whomever hired him should be fired.
Checkout some of his many problematic videos in this thread: https://t.co/iOZsBEQjpl

His health issues and skeevy hiring is a big issue for me in my evaluation of his fitness to serve The People.

(7,873 posts)...Sanders hired all these people to begin with. Many people criticized him at the time for bringing on mainly divisive people, but he did it anyway. I think at this point, we should all realize that it's a feature -- not a bug.

Sanders staff appears poorly supervised and accountable for this trash.

If he doesnt realize what his staff is doing, what kind of administration is he going to run?

Here is Orfalea's "rap" video where he proclaims Hillary Clinton and Trump to be no different in 2016 - note the S&M model he plasters Hillary's face onto:

And here is the Hanger/ Abortion work
M. Mendoza Ferrer (@m_mendozaferrer) Tweeted:
Matt Orfalea really likes to use the word "retarded" - he even defends it.
Sexist and vile imagery used to describe gay rights and abortion - hanger included.
Why did you hire him @BernieSanders??

Mr Sanders, through upper staff hired this dude, who has posted racist/homophobic/misogynistic videos, how is this helpful to reaching out to more people? It certainly reinforces the bernie bro image of hatefulness

(2,061 posts)Numerous people on Sanders top staff supported candidates other than Clinton and made disparaging remarks about her in the run up to the election.

(33,023 posts)Given what is currently happening in DC, a no drama obama like staff is needed by the candidates. We the People cannot afford more like trump in the executive branch.
Observing how a candidates staff behaves is part of candidate evaluation, and impacts informed choice of our next nominee

Are you implying that it was BS himself (and not his staff or campaign) who hired Offal?

(2,061 posts)He recently tried to explain his bigotry and ended up doubling down on it.
The Writings of a Moron
You fucking fool. That is exactly why it is bigotry. There is no meaning of "silly" or "lame" without the comparison.
I will still argue that this little punk is Sirota light. It's pathetic that he can't work for Sanders while Sirota is still doing his thing.
Little snot nose punk also seems to have a bit of Trump in him.

He is also a big Jimmy Dore fan. That alone speaks volumes.
