Some Tweets from David Sirota

David Sirota is the speechwriter for candidate Bernie Sanders.

For all the Beltway Dems who purport to be worried about “disinformation,” there’s been very little outrage about Team Biden mounting a flagrant disinformation campaign to try to erase Biden’s record and votes from history.



  • We should be clear about what this is: and his staff are litetally trying to erase history. It’s an absolutely indisputable fact that Joe Biden repeatedly tried to cut Social Security. Biden and his staff are pretending these videos don’t exist.

  • I’ve helped flip a GOP House seat to Dems & a GOP governor’s office to Dems. I’ve helped elect a Dem state legislator in a swing state. I’ve worked on 2 Dem Senate races & for House Dems. If you’re lecturing me about party unity, please let us know if you’ve done more than that

    Biden spent years working with Republicans to push Social Security cuts — that makes him vulnerable to Trump attacks in a general election. Bernie isn’t vulnerable to those attacks, because Bernie has never worked with the GOP to try to cut Social Security

    In 1995, I was on the House floor fighting the GOP’s efforts to cut Social Security. 5 days later, Joe Biden gave a speech in the Senate bragging about his work with the GOP to try to freeze funding for Social Security. 4/8
  • If is the nominee, he'll be relentlessly attacked by Trump for pushing NAFTA & Social Security cuts. ' record on those issues can't be impugned by Trump, which is why Bernie is our strongest general election candidate - pass it on

    Does Biden really believe that George W. Bush conducted a responsible, constructive, rule-abiding foreign policy? Biden's words here imply that he does.

    Joe Biden claims in a new ad that he has always protected Social Security. That’s patently false. He can’t hide 40 years of working with Republicans to cut Social Security. Here are the facts. 1/8

  • Joe Biden spent 30+ years working with Republicans to try to cut Social Security. Any attempt to pretend otherwise is a deliberate misinformation effort. The receipts are all there -- in the Congressional Record and in C-Span videos. Receipts here:

    I am constantly asked if I‘d support the Dem nominee. Could you imagine if I said I wouldn’t? Yet Biden’s camp is on TV threatening to help Trump if they don’t get exactly what they want. This is profoundly irresponsible on all ends. Our country is not a game. Get it together.

    I am outraged by the act of anti-semitism targeting and his supporters. To raise a Nazi flag against Sanders or any member of the Jewish faith is disgraceful and unacceptable. We condemn this act of white supremacy and stand against hate in all its forms.
