Lunatic Anti-Semite Introduces Bernie at Rally [View all]

Is there a good reason that Bernie surrounds himself with so many toxic individuals? Sirota, Turner, Gray, Moore, West, Orfalea, Agnew, Cenk, et al.

Is it intentional? Is he "sending a message" with these hires and close associations? Does he approve of their toxic and divisive messages and tone and attacks? Or is he simply unaware of what's going on around him? (Hey, I'm just trying to be nice here and give him the possible benefit-of-the-doubt, if there's one to be had.)

Here's David Packman (whom I generally can't stand) making some interesting points about this very subject and how he thinks choices like this have negatively impacted Bernie's campaign and career.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
