The latest from Briahna Joy Gray, Sanders' National Press Secretary:

Twitter Profile: Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy National Press Secretary for the next president i.e. #BernieSanders2020.

Bernie was too kind to go after Biden, but it's coming.

Either Dem leadership cares more abt maintaining a corporate status quo than getting rid of Trump, or they're planning to replace Joe - adopting a pretty fast and loose relationship w/ representative Democracy.

I've come to the conclusion that the Green Party's platform is a smoke screen. They are Republican.

I will have the same mercy to them as they have for the rest of the democratic party. None. Bernie needs to roll them in or publicly call them out. Until then... I have the same mercy as them.

The vote blue no matter who screamed the loudest seem to have disappeared or gone on the attack.

The DNC needs to make sure that this NEVER happens again. They need to be dems for at least four years to be on the dem ballot.

shows she has no sole.

People like her don't care about any of the issues that they claim to. If they really did, they wouldn't want another 4 years of Trump, appointing 1 or 2 Supreme Court justices. They just want their chosen team to win. And when it doesn't, they rather smugly sit on their high horse and feel superior than do anything to help change things.

Petty, trivial, bullshit by Bernie's "National Press Secretary". I'm sure, thanks to Bernie's plan to suspend but stay in, we can expect even more of this type of drivel from her until after the convention and I'm sure she'll switch gears then and be a full throated Green Party supporter again.

Briahna, you helped bring about this orange nightmare. Why are you doing this again, unless this is somehow what your endgame really is.

I'm sure Bernie will jump right on telling her to reel this kind of crap in... I'm also sure you'll pardon me if I don't hold my breath

It’s a silly Twitter distraction but “BrieBrie” has been taking nasty swipes at her and she’s pretty much “I will snatch you bald headed! Come at me!”

I laugh in part because it underscores the pettiness and lack of actual power. If Bernie doesn’t curb this crap he’s going to find out who’s being kind.
