53. This is the same David Sirota in 1999, CREATED A FAKE WEBSITE, and was fired while serving as

Dwight Evans' deputy mayoral campaign manager in Philadelphia after his fake website pushed damaging racial comments attributed to their opponent John White, Jr." which were untrue.

He also used Hugo Chavez as his example of success:

When in reality, this "economic" success he attributes to Chavez was due to the price of oil, and Venezuela's oil exports, not the magic of Chavez's ideology:

In 2017 The Young Turks hired Sirota, and with him and Cenk, that tells me everything I need to know about Sirota

He did everything to undermine the Democratic nominee in 2016 by equating Hillary with trump, and encouraging his Hillary hating fan base to vote third party.

I detest Sirota with false equivalencies and distortions.

So if he is against Beto, I am all for Beto
