Former Bernie Sanders campaign surrogate Ja’Mal Green attacked the campaign’s leadership Monday, alleging widespread mistreatment of black surrogates.
The 24-year-old Black Lives Matter activist claimed that campaign officials Heather Gautney and Shasti Conrad “ran the surrogate team into the ground & treated us black surrogates like they [sic] were slaves.”
Y’all want to know who else blocked me, @heathergautney. She is the national surrogate director for @BernieSanders. Her & @ShastiConrad ran the surrogate team into the ground & treated us black surrogates like they were slaves. What nerve to block me cuz I criticized the camp.
