Jonathan Van Ness is speaking out against the Bernie Sanders staffer who mocked him for having aids.
Ben Mora, who worked as a Michigan regional field director for the campaign, was fired this week after his private Twitter account leaked with derogatory messages towards Ness. The message was posted around September 2019 after Van Ness came out about HIV.
“Jonathon [sic] Van Ness trying to look hot while Daddy Ronald Reagan watches him die of AIDS,” Mora said next to an image of Van Ness modeling.
Van Ness took to Twitter to respond to the tweets,
“This is the tweet a former Bernie staffer tweeted from a locked account,” he wrote. “How many senior Bernie staffers saw these tweets for months and promoted their behavior? It’s commonplace I endure this by extreme Bernie supporters daily. The change has to come from inside their campaign.”
