Bernie Sanders staff hired this guy

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

1. It's appears Mr Sanders, himself, is not making his limits& goals crystal clear to his staff

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

[W_HAMILTON]

3. On the contrary...

...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.

[irisblue]

6. On this one,I can't image Sen Sanders, himself, in youtube mode watching this trash

And telling his current staff" Gotta hire him!"

Sanders staff appears poorly supervised and accountable for this trash.

[LakeArenal]

27. If his staff is poorly supervised and Bernie is "unaccountable" for his staff's trash

That sounds like dump talking about Manafort.

If he doesn’t realize what his staff is doing, what kind of administration is he going to run?

[LongtimeAZDem]

37. This. Exactly this.

[TidalWave46]

2. Don't see anything worse than Sirota has done.

Why are the dismissing this kid while still maintaining staff every bit as bad?

[irisblue]

4. More examples of dudes work

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:

Matt Orfalea made this for “laughs”

WARNING: video is OFFENSIVE and VILE

Did @BernieSanders find it funny? Did @davidsorota? Did @briebriejoy? They hired him!!

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

[TidalWave46]

7. Sirota claimed Bidens healthcare proposal was as bad as 9-11.

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

[Rhiannon12866]

5. This was refuted last night:

8. As noted in the last half of post 1, he resigned. My point is this

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

[Rhiannon12866]

9. And this individual was not hired, as it should be.

So the point is moot.

[lapucelle]

22. He was hired and then either fired or asked to resign.

30. Walker Bragman as a reference is interesting.

[lapucelle]

33. The list of those cheering Offal's hire is indeed interesting given Shakir's claim that Offal

had not really been hired.

Nina Turner
Shaun King
Walter Bragman, inter alia.

Bragman was cited only to refute any gaslighlit claim that Offal had not really been hired in the first place.

[OilemFirchen]

23. How did he "resign" from an "initial job offer"?

I don't speak Bernish.

[lapucelle]

26. National chair Nina Turner seemed to think Offal was hired.

[justhanginon]

36. Nina Turner should have put a big S in front of Oooooooooweee!!!!.

[lapucelle]

24. The news that Offal was hired wasn't "refuted". Offal lasted 10 hours on the job.

[lapucelle]

29. Offal announced that he was hired before he was hired?

What would Occam say?

10. Sanders should be known by the company he keeps...

Can you imagine the type of staff Sanders would hire in a Presidential administration?

[still_one]

13. Yeah, Cornell West, Jill Stein, and Susan Sarandon

[SidDithers]

44. Kick...nt

11. He has already quit the Sanders campaign.

That’s why I have decided to not join the Sanders campaign.

[irisblue]

14. I knew that. This was part of post 1

21. .

[George II]

28. Any time I've been offered a job, the "vetting process" was completed BEFORE the offer was made.

[lapucelle]

32. I think the BS campaign knew about Offal's past and hired him anyway.

16. What an idiot.

He really tries to spin it, doesn’t he?

[Celerity]

17. yep nt

[dalton99a]

12. Bothsiderism is an essential job qualification

[lapucelle]

15. Offal has odiously appropriated MLK's image, words, and legacy

to push his personal agenda more recently. Here he is at the MLK Memorial on MLK Day making it all about himself.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. This was posted at 9:55 last night, so this is inaccurate:

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders dumps his video guy...
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287307776

[brooklynite]

31. The OP clearly indicates that he was fired/"resigned"

The point is not that it's a breaking news story; it's about the ignorance of the Sanders campaign in offering him a job in the first place.

[lapucelle]

39. Offal was hired and quickly dumped. What's innacurate about the headline?

*********************************************************************************************

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

[TidalWave46]

34. This guy is a bigoted train wreck with very limited cognitive capabilities.

He recently tried to explain his bigotry and ended up doubling down on it.

Likewise, in the same thoughtless comedy video (made in my dumb 20’s), I referred to the cliche use of clones in youtube videos as “gay”. I am sorry to say that growing up it was a term used regularly and casually by my peers to refer to something “silly” or “lame” — not actually referring to homosexuality at all. I’ve never had any issues with anyone’s sexuality.

“Everybody should be able to marry who they want to marry. Any conservative politician who doesn’t get that is just being gay.”

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.

43. Yeah.. "lol"

35. They clearly hire only the best people.
