Edward Isaac-Dovere/Atlantic: Bernie Sanders Just Hired His Twitter Attack Dog David Sirota had been working unofficially for Sanders while savaging the other Democratic candidates on Twitter Sirota’s hiring as a senior adviser and speechwriter was announced by the Sanders campaign on Tuesday morning after The Atlantic contacted the campaign and inquired about the undisclosed role Sirota held while attacking other Democrats. ... When people have questioned his tactics, Sirota has called them “mentally incapacitated.” Responding in mid-January to those who criticized him online for preemptively railing against the record of O’Rourke, who had not yet entered the race but had been a huge source of concern for Sanders allies since talk of O’Rourke’s potential presidential run picked up last year, Sirota tweeted, “The screaming temper tantrums by Democratic Party operatives whenever reporters scrutinize a lawmaker’s voting record is something to behold. These people quite literally hate democracy.” At another point, he said his critics “are deranged and/or running a deliberate disinfo campaign.” “Positively unhinged,” he wrote about them a separate time. Lest you think the above is a hit piece on Bernie, it’s not. It’s questioning Sirota’s honesty (read the piece). And it’s the talk of twitter.
