I find this profoundly disturbing

Read those comments, Shakir paused. “He used those exact words?” he asked. “I’m sure he regrets the tone.”

None of those comments can be found online anymore. On Monday night, after being contacted for a second time by The Atlantic with a list of specific questions about his undisclosed work for Sanders, Sirota did not respond to the email but deleted more than 20,000 tweets. He left fewer than 200 online

They have declared war on all of us. To paraphrase Churchill we can fight them when we are strong and they are weak or we can wait to fight them when they are strong and we are weak and we have no chance.

Sirota learned that just like Trump has understood it all his life. When all obsession is over something that happened 5 minutes go, just prominently scream and overreact to that and you can reinvent yourself as many times as required while fooling suckers along the way, especially those predisposed to your current bias.

Guys like that don't regret. They deny, knowing that every 5 minute block works in their favor. Very quickly they can jump in again.

We'd have to be incredibly dense to believe a charlatan like that wouldn't emerge on the left.
