Sanders' press secretary on MSNBC right now is a poor propagandist


- She is lying about Biden's Social Security positions and history. Brianna Joy Gray is either uninformed or simply lying. Biden's record on Social Security is solid, and he has an A rating from the AARP.


Reprehensible. Every time I hear a Bernie surrogate, I'm turned off more. Bernie needs to control the rhetoric of his surrogates and quit allowing them to lie.

the Guardian that accused him of having a corruption problem, and when Katy Tur tried to get her to explain specifically how Biden had such a problem -- and pointed out that Gray's "reasons" weren't corruption -- Gray just kept nattering on, and finally used MLK Day as her excuse for not wanting to talk about it. Not that MLK Day had stopped her or Sirota from pushing vicious lies.

Ugh.

Does she agree with the Sanders surrogate about her accusations of Biden being corrupt?

Every time she was asked, she weaseled out of a direct answer. Never did she say she feels anything in Biden's record constitutes corruption.

On edit:I am not sure I can post the link to the article, since the OP on it was flagged.

It continues and he must know it's going on, so if he doesn't put a stop to it, he must be OK with it.

That's troublesome, to say the least.

It shows a lack of INTEGRITY when a candidate allows his (or her) campaign staff to blatantly LIE in such a manner. It's a big clue to what kind of ethics that candidate has and what kind of "leader" he (or she) will be.

Speaking for myself only (but I think it's safe to presume that many feel the same way that I do) I have higher standards than that. And looking at recent poll numbers, I believe that the voters are showing that they have limits (and minimum standards) too.
