Read the full article and looked at related items. Stirring up attacks on Bernie and intra-party fighting seems the pattern. Reminds me of things here during the primaries and continuing until today. I think a little research is in order.

It could also be people stalking her because she dares R B Garr Mar 2018 #58

She (Albright) was contracted to do the work. CentralMass Mar 2018 #63

She is just being attacked in a similar fashion R B Garr Mar 2018 #69

What ? That is nuts. She setup a twitter-bot operation to slime Sanders. CentralMass Mar 2018 #71

I believe bravenaks first-hand accounts of how her Twitter was R B Garr Mar 2018 #72

That has zero to do with this thread, This is a paid political operative .. CentralMass Mar 2018 #75

I believe Bravenak over some people stalking Twitter R B Garr Mar 2018 #76

Your comments have nothing to to with this post. Or any of my commentd. CentralMass Mar 2018 #78

If you rerad the article, she worked for the 2008 Clinton campaign and she was contracted to do this CentralMass Mar 2018 #62
