David Sirota was tied to a fake website apparently intended to scare off white residents from voting for a black opponent.
David Sirota, who Bernie Sanders announced this week would be joining his campaign as a speechwriter, was hired by the senator for a different job two decades ago — after the aide was fired from a mayoral campaign for his role in a racially inflammatory and fraudulent website.
Sirota was the deputy campaign manager for Dwight Evans, a candidate in the 1999 Democratic primary for the mayor of Philadelphia. The site, which was made to look like the page of Evans rival John White, featured a comment White made in large letters, which said, “The black and the brown, if we unite, we're going to control this city.”Sign Up
White’s campaign said his statement had been taken out of context, and that he meant that African-Americans and Latinos could achieve more political power if they worked together. The site was registered to the address of Robert Richman, a friend of Sirota's who lived in Massachusetts. Evans believed that Sirota had not made the website himself, but discussed it with Richman.
