Bernie's co-chair wades into Tara Reade issue - with receipts

[nolawarlock]

So another post mentioned a Salon article on the Tara Reade sort-of-controversy, were it was stated:

(To be clear: Neither candidate's campaign has engaged with these conspiracy theories in any way.)

I responded there but I really feel like this needs its own post to point out that Bernie's campaign is absolutely engaged in the Tara Reade scandal.

Nina Turner tweeted passive-aggressive emojis to Ryan Grim, Krystal Ball, and Susan Sarandon in response to Krystal Ball asking about finding "Ryan Grim reporting to 'credible' when it pertained to Bret Kavanaugh"—which close followups to their prior comments on Tara Reade.

So Nina absolutely weighed in. There's no way she didn't know they were talking about criticisms of Grim's credibility in relation to Tara Reade and that bringing up Kavanaugh at all was a reference to that. And the Berners on this site wonder why we get upset. This isn't just a case of Russian bots. This is one of his top surrogates.

Receipts





If there is anything I am glad for, is that the best chance Nina Turner, Briahna Joy Gray, and David Sirota will ever have of making it into the White House is on a tour.

As an aside regarding that wonderful trio, The Palmer Report is now being called racist for criticizing the three of them and this is being described as attacking black women. David Sirota certainly makes a fascinating example of a black woman.

1. When we wonder how Trump so indoctrinated his cultists, I look at Krystal Ball--who once was

a measured and respected progressive voice on MSNBC and Sirota, whose progressive radio program was supported after he replaced the very ill, but much respected long term progressive radio host, Jay Marvin.
Susan Sarandon, of course, went over the cliff a long time ago and there are no words for Nina Turner...

Bernie sure knows how to pick 'em.

2. They have

Their knickers in such a twist they sound like Trump!

3. I expect some Pro Berners to keep fanning these flames

because some of them probably see it as their only chance to try to stick a knife in Biden.

4. Ugh

So sick of seeing this crap from the left. You know the rong's going to throw a bunch of bullsh*t @ JB, but the left? The comments under every tweet and every HP post are nauseating.

Does anybody know what the stupid rose (or whatever it is) next to every BOB's twitter handle signifies? Sick of seeing that too. It's the equivalent of every moron in 2016 having "deplorable" in their twitter.

5. The rose represents the Democratic Socialists of America.

7. I appreciate them making themselves easier to identify

Not unlike the MAGATs with their hats.

10. TY

Thanks Sloumeau!

6. So where are the Sanders apologists who claimed "how do we know they're part of the campaign"....

....when other divisive garbage came out on Twitter?

Even Sanders himself, when confronted with toxic tweets about Biden, said "we can't control everyone on social media".

He sure as shit can control his Campaign co-chair, National Press Secretary, and National Communications Director (Sirota's title has changed a couple of times).

Does he care? Does he condone this?

[groundloop]

8. And he sure as hell could condemn these attacks also

In my view if he's not suppressing false attacks against Joe Biden then he's helping tRump.

Bernie has worn out his welcome.

9. Nah, acknowledging there's a problem

Would disrupt his "good cop" routine that he plays to the media. He knows good and well what's going on and he doesn't give a shit. It's all about "the revolution". How else could you explain the smug smiles on his and Jane's faces at the 2016 convention when people like John Lewis were being booed!?

11. Any body but me see each new attack fizzling quicker than the last one?

I will be so so glad when her and his accolades are done!!

[nolawarlock]

12. Is it me?

Or are the Berners avoiding the Tara Reade threads? I suppose it is all rather embarrassing to have to confront a situation that really can't be argued away with a few pithy comments about medicare for all.
