#Expose2020 – PART 1: Kyle Jurek, Iowa Field Organizer, Sanders Campaign (video language caution)
2020-01-16
[Project Veritas] Des Moines, IA - A Bernie Sanders Presidential Campaign Field Organizer, Kyle Jurek, was secretly recorded bragging about his extreme left-wing fringe views, calling for violence and death to those who oppose Sanders’ radical policies. Kyle Jurek, who works out of the Sanders campaign Iowa office, has been paid at least $9,775 since starting in his official campaign role. Project Veritas Action Fund’s undercover journalists secretly recorded Jurek’s statements for months; recording footage on multiple occasions where he lashes out against Sanders’ Democratic opposition, President Trump’s supporters, and others. The recordings give insight into the mentality of many Sanders staffers and what they truly believe. In the video, Jurek details his expectations for the 2020 Presidential election and emphatically states that cities will "burn" if President Trump wins re-election.

#7  If Sanders isnt nominated it won't matter. If he is, this guy's gonna be a huge star in GOP TV commercials.

#6  It should not be a shock to find that Bernie's campaign is staffed by a good number of Antifa.

#5  Re #3:
Bernie Sanders has spent years convincing voters that his Soviet honeymoon, his support for the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, his admiration for Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez were all a misunderstanding. See, it was Denmark, Danish-style socialism he wants for America, not a second Venezuela. He was really quite reasonable in intentions all along.

It was exposed as garbage the other day, when James O'Keefe released an undercover video of a top-line paid Iowa staffer, Kyle Jurek, praising gulags, re-education camps, burning cities, beaten cops, and killing anyone who resists the "revolution" as the plan all along. Worse still, he said the Bernie campaign was loaded with such people and Bernie's moderate claims was a mask. So much for Bernie's rebranding bid.

Ordinarily, that would be a firing offense. The guy just undercut Sanders' carefully cultivated public relations persona to win voters and made Sanders look like Mao recrudescent, Stalin reborn, and Pol Pot's ghost, something worse actually, than even most suspicious Republicans have ever came up with.

Sanders' response?

Nothing. No firing. No denunciation of all the sick plans and praise for the world's most odious dictators. A quick dismissal of the whole thing as "political gossip" and not by Bernie himself but by another Iowa staffer.

#4  An ignorant and obviously dangerous sociopath he is also obviously a loudmouth. So you know he was very vocal in his interaction with campaign staffers. That he was not dismissed soon after arrival suggests his thoughts were not offensive to a wider section of the campaign. That should worry people a great deal.

#3  Bernie might disavow Jurek in public but I'm guessing his own sentiments are not much different.

#2  Or - when does Bernie promote this guy to state campaign director?

#1  Jurek will soon be gone from the Sander's campaign.
