SCOOP @davidsirota, just hired as Bernie Sanders' speechwriter and senior adviser, has been quietly writing speeches and advising him for months without disclosing it but while bashing pretty much every candidate in the field: https://t.co/VBSp7dBbyx

Sirota helped write Sanders' launch speeches while calling people who disagreed with his attacks on others "mentally incapacitated."
I asked Sanders campaign manager @faiz what he made of that, and he said:
“He used those exact words?… I’m sure he regrets the tone.”

The Guardian would seem to be basing this on assurances from Sirota and the Sanders campaign about when Sirota was working for Sanders, which neither disclosed until today as having happened, and which conflict with accounts of people who were familiar with the contact. https://t.co/rMLbuvjWCv

So they’re going with a non-divisive strategy designed to bring Democrats on board and tamp down the social media attacks that alienated folks last time. Got it.

Strange situation over at the @StateDept: The department's press corps was barred from a "faith-based media" briefing with @SecPompeo, and no transcript or attendee list is being released https://t.co/GPC57Q3ltt
