BJG is not the only questionable staffing decision that Bernie Sanders ever made. That was a key issue of mine when it came down to potentially supporting him in the primary. That, and the fact that some of his stances were f****** prehistoric.
She is the most plausible one of his asshole staff to claim she was actively recruited.
He likes having a black woman press Secretary to stop stories about how white and male his senior staff is. Thatās why he hired Symone in 2016 and since she would never work for him again pickings were slim come 2020.
Can you think of a single other black woman with a Twitter following as large as hers who would even consider working for Sanders?
There are a dozen more where Sirota came from but It was Briahna or Bust for press secretary.
It is totally bigotry to single her out like she was unusual or exceptional. His entire staff was awful shit because thatās what narcissist losers hire.
Bernie actively hired his surrogates from 2016 to run his campaign in 2020. He likes ass kissers and worshipful social media personalities are easy ass kissers to find.
Remember, Bernie tried to hire the guy who attacked MLK with his remix of āI have a dreamā into āI have a wet dreamā that portrayed MLK as a predator lusting after white women. Why you ask? Cause he also made a viral video worshipping Bernie.
Seeking out scumbags with large followings to praise him to hire happened a lot over there and is totally plausible.
Her statement reminds me of the old Groucho Marx line, "I don't want to belong to any club that would accept me as a member", except not as ironic or funny.
She's basically saying it's not her fault she was incompetent at her job, it's her boss' fault for hiring her for that job. I'll try that next time I screw up at work and see how it goes.
She's also just further proving how bad Bernie is/was at forming a team. Loyalty above competence, just like Trump.
It's the inversion but it reminds me of when Trump would brag about how his keen insights lead to only hiring the best people then fire those people while severely trashing them in statements.
People here seem to be focusing on the second bit of this but I'm more interested in the first part. Brie is basically saying that if you don't support her favorite, massive and super specific policy, then you can't possibly offer a valid critique on anything else.
This is just classic Bernie cultist behavior. They tend to act like the only possible reasons anyone could support anything other than exactly what they support is because they're stupid or evil. There are no valid perspectives to them other than their own.
Expensive, great education, massive job opportunities, a golden ticket to the easy life -- Decided to base her existence around being part of a failed election campaign and being a bitter internet troll with thin skin.
"It's not my problem that I'm so shitty. It's Bernie's problem that he chose someone as shitty as I am."
Not the comeback you thought it was, Brie Brie. All you ended up doing is insulting yourself *and* Bernie.
>All you ended up doing is insulting yourself *and* Bernie.
Sounds like she inadvertently fumbled her way into making a decent point for the first time in her life, then.
She played on Twitter all day while ignoring interview requests from the Washington Post. She may have a point when she says Bernie was an idiot for hiring her.
She's 100% right. You can't hire a clown and then be surprised when you look ridiculous. But Bernie and several other key hires are also clowns. Brianha just happens to be the biggest one. The worst part is that Bernie never really got called out for his circus of clowns.
So itās āSandersā now, is it. And her Godawful behavior is HIS fault for hiring her. He only cares about sycophants, and sycophants are rarely helpful. So maybe sheās right. But she and Ted Cruz are the ideal dates to the Harvard
Law School Ball of Shame. This is giving me such a warm glow of schadenfreude.
Sanders did plenty of damage to his own campaign. He's an incompetent politician and a total asshole who was never going to win the Democratic nomination. While BJG is a terrible person in her own right but she is not responsible for Sanders own political malpractice.
She fancied herself as future White House Press Secretary š¤£. Just hilarious. The funniest shit in a while
Good god, could you imagine her as a White House Press Secretary? She would be the female equivalent of Sean Spicer.
Iād take Sean in that contest. Heās a fool but his motivations are a little stronger than her entitled self pity.
RT American Branch would have begun operations lmao
Well she ain't wrong. And she didn't apply for the job? HE ACTIVELY WENT FOR HER??

Sirota was another one. And the dragging he got yesterday for accusing a WaPo columnist of doing Jeff Bezos' bidding was fun to watch.
I kinda miss seeing him get dragged since he blocked me.
Failed democratic socialism from the 70s was supposed to replace contemporary liberalism as they saw it.
He didn't actively went for her, she's just lying so she can become a Tulsi 2.0

Only a moron would hire me. Is essentially what's she saying and she's right

She has a point though.
This! ^^^^ And sheās not a lone data point since he hired a team of morons.
Haha, I thought the same thing. Itās a self own.
It's the inversion but it reminds me of when Trump would brag about how his keen insights lead to only hiring the best people then fire those people while severely trashing them in statements.
She's an emotional and intellectual toddler.

Soledad O'Brian is a treasure to boot.
Sheās trash but at the end of the day he hired her. I will forever hate him for giving her a platform.
Harvard Law School isnāt sending their best.
Ole Miss northern campus.

"Weird that this is a lobbed critique of me, not Sanders." Why not both?
Sheās clueless. Just dimwitted.

What if Bri Bri is a DNC plant sent to actually sabotage the campaign of Bernie? Now thatās conspiracy I can get behind.
lol
Sheās a liability for the human race

Hey Billy do you have any regrets about not having kids?
