I’ve worked in newsrooms alongside both @IsaacDovere and @davidsirota

I literally sat directly infront of @IsaacDovere when I worked @politico and the off the record conversations that I heard Dovere have with his sources showed he was total access journalist.

@IsaacDovere sat next to his drinking buddy Glenn Thrush - he heard all the same terrible stuff about women from Thrush that I heard.

Throughout Glenn being accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, Dovere kept his mouth shut.

He was complicit google.com/amp/s/jezebel.…

One time I was at a going away party at PJ Clarke’s in DC for former AFSCME Comm Dir Chris Policano in Nov of 2015 with @IsaacDovere and Glenn Thrush.

Thrush started making crude jokes about who a woman at the party used to sleep in NYC political circles.

Dovere laughed hard

Glenn Thrush and @IsaacDovere we’re drinking buddies, sat next to each other, and told god knows how many inappropriate jokes.

I heard them all the time when I sat directly infront of @IsaacDovere and Glenn Thrush @politico

They were disgusting

On the other hand, I got to know @davidsirota as a 22 year old cub reporter/blogger working at Campaign for America’s Future.

Outside of swearing like a guy from Philly, I never heard David say anything inappropriate like Glenn Thrush’s jokes that @IsaacDovere would laugh at

When I got black listed and fired for talking union @politico, @davidsirota would call me unsolicited and offer help in trying to get me another job.

Every newsroom, Sirota has worked in he has had a reputation of being stand up guy.

The reason @IsaacDovere is attacking @davidsirota so hard is that Dovere is a slimbag drinking buddy enabler of Glenn Thrush.

He’s a suck up, who hates people who challenge the good old boy system like Sirota has

When considering the attacks of @IsaacDovere on @davidsirota ethics, please keep in mind that Dovere kept his mouth shut about Glenn Thrush’s sexual misconduct when he had evidence to the contrary.

I worked alongside @IsaacDovere at @politico and he’s as scummy as it gets

Note I went on the record about it and gave deposition against Thrush.

I also attempted to form a union to counter the culture of workplace intimidation
