Shepard Fairey, who designed the “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, recently designed a T-shirt to support Bernie Sanders. He also released a statement saying that Sanders is the candidate who “embodies the principles of justice, equality, liberty and access to the American Dream.”
In response to that endorsement, Clinton campaign spokesperson Brian Fallon issued the following tweet:
“Diss Obama by day, do poor man’s imitation of 2008 campaign by night”
Poor man’s imitation? What an unfortunate choice of words.
Sad, impecunious slobs that we are, we slink around under cover of night selling T-shirts! What a feeble imitation of the glittering galas held by our PAC-glutted betters. I feel so put in my place.
Would Fallon look straight into a camera and make the same statement on national TV? Or is this the kind of blow you throw only under the cover of Twitter?
I’ll take “poor man’s” democracy any day—if only we could get some.
