Huh, 11 hours ago he tweeted that he was "officially joining the team."




Matt Orfalea
@0rf
Excited to announce I'm officially joining the Bernie Sanders campaign's video team. I was assured I will have considerable creative freedom! Can't wait to make more videos, expose more truth, and get Bernie Sanders elected. Thank you all for your support!

The guy announced it himself and should have waited. He would have been vetted before the offer was final.

....and he should never have been hired at all.

Vetting by a national presidential campaign is vital - that was SO sloppy!

Edit: the tweet says he resigned, wasn't "dumped"! Apparently the campaign was fine with it.
