By my count, this is at least the fourth homophobe/racist Bernie Sanders has hired without doing basic vetting of social media. At some point, this is no longer accidental.

There was the racist video guy Bernie hired and initially stood by until he quit. That was just six weeks ago:

There was the woman Bernie hired as his Jewish outreach coordinator with a number of antisemitic tweets:

And of course there is Linda Sarsour who was fired from the Women’s March for making antisemitic comments. Bernie hired her as a surrogate anyway and continues even though she made fresh antisemitic comments just this week:

Then there is David Sirota—who was fired by a more ethical campaign for creating a racist web site and a pariah of politics until Bernie hired him. He still works for Bernie as a close insider and would be expected to be a top Sanders WH staffer:
