Sirota’s tweet suggests Beto takes money from the “oil and gas industry”.
In reality, Beto didn’t take money from that industry or any other.

Keep an eye on Sirota. Political operatives on the left posing as journalists... that’s some shady sh**.
Bernie Sanders’ former spokesperson going after Beto... that’s even shadier.
