Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the staffer in question, was defiant in the aftermath, claiming he was "being attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda." Yeah, I'm sure...

My name is David Gins. I work for Vice President Harris on behalf of the American people as Deputy Director for Operations...

These guys plan to leave after Sanders leaves.Why would she do that? Two reasons stand out.One, working for Kamala Harris is hell.Back...
