Bernie Sanders recently announced that David Sirota would be joining his campaign as a speech writer. David Sirota's first gig in politics ended in 1999 when it was discovered that he helped a Philly mayoral candidate he was working for in the Democratic primary create a fake website designed to look like an opponents, containing an out of context quote that implied that the opposing candidate wanted to unite black and latino voters to "take over". The hope was that it would turn white voters off from their opponent.

Immediately after leaving that campaign in light of the website, Sirota was hired as Sanders to be his communications director from 1999-2001.
