Listening to Jake Tapper about how the republicans are retweeting altered videos

debunked videos of Biden Pelosi CNN reporters.. and his comment was we are so worried about outsiders attacking our people with altered videos and the attacks are coming from within.

The first thought I had.. not only republicans are using this despicable strategy.

If people do this, it is all we need to know about their characters or lack of.

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

Again. His history as a human pit bull is very long, but it's most famous for Sirota's now-defunct racist and fraudulent website.

We know they tried hide Sirota's hiring by Sanders was because no respectable person would associate with him. And hiring him again for this campaign? Why was that?

"I Have a Wet Dream," doesn't need to be watched by anyone to guess just how foul and racist it is. However, its existence, right on the web for all to see, is proof positive of Orfala's ability to falsify video and willingness to make false video public.

Orfala was fired as quickly as he was hired when he was identified and this was made public. But the thing is, so many people of questionable or even repeatedly demonstrated bad character are drawn to Sanders. And hired. Or, if well known, encouraged to promote him, Sanders supposedly not responsible for their frequent smears and even lies on his behalf. Given how typical all that is, I can't assume that Orfala wasn't vetted before hiring by someone who was aware of the full range of his talents.

After all, just googling his name as I did brings multiple samples of his work up.
