sirota and the rest of the our revolution/justice democrats/tyt/the intercept crowd have a history of trying to tarnish dems who run or might run against their preferred 'progressive' candidates. they smeared several candidates in heated races the last 2 years with iffy 'journalism', shoddy vetting, and outright foxnews-type spin/reach (even posted a fake recording of a candidate) and intentionally didnt retract until well after the story had circulated and been debunked by several people.

these are the same people who attacked dianne feinstein for both holding on to the dr ford letter *and* making it available to be leaked lol. just to try to damage her so their preferred primary/general (ran in both in cali) candidate could win.


for what its worth...he is using the exact same deceptive attack (individuals/employees vs corporations/pacs) that clinton ran against sanders in the 2016 primary lol.
