Bernie Staffer Mocked Warren’s Looks, Pete’s Sexuality on Private Twitter Account

During the most recent presidential primary debate in Las Vegas, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) suggested that critiques of some of his most antagonistic online supporters are largely unfounded and unfair, proposing that some of the worst offenders might actually be Russian trolls on a mission to sow disunity in the field.

But the private Twitter account of a newly promoted campaign staffer indicates that despite his condemnation of online harassment, at least some of the Vermont senator’s most toxic support is coming from inside the house.


His house.

Using the account @perma_ben, Ben Mora, a regional field director for Sanders’ campaign based in Michigan, has attacked other Democrats in the field—as well as their family members, surrogates, journalists, and politically active celebrities—in deeply personal terms, mocking their physical appearance, gender, and sexuality, among other things.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mora has tweeted, “looks like her name: pained, chunky, [and] confused origin/purpose.” Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg “is what happens when the therapist botches the conversion,” and his husband, Chasten, Mora predicts, will be “busted for running a meth racket” in 10 years. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a frequent subject of Mora’s private account, is called a “dumb Okie,” “an adult diaper fetishist” who “looks like shit” and who lied about having Native American ancestry “to get into Harvard.”

Interesting that he accuses them to be Russian bots and then we found out that Russia is helping him.

This person was fired, finally. Yet this is who supports BS.

Amy, per her name is 'chunky'. Pete a failed conversion and Warren a dumb Okie...an adult diaper fetishist” who “looks like shit".

Their beautiful music has no place in these ugly smears.

They were full of love and laughter and music that touched your soul.

They would not have called Amy chunkie, Warren a dumb oakie and a depends dependent or Mayor Pete Buttigieg “is what happens when the therapist botches the conversion,” and his husband, Chasten, Mora predicts, will be “busted for running a meth racket”.

Do not tell me what I can post and not post. The Beatles would have loved all of the above.
