The Bernie Sanders online store has a new T-shirt in stock designed by Shepard Fairey, the artist behind the iconic Barack Obama “Hope” poster. We might have missed the news, but it was apparently important for Brian Fallon, press secretary for Hillary Clinton for America, to take a public swipe at Fairey, even if it meant giving the Sanders campaign not only the publicity but a link directly to the Bernie Sanders online store.
Diss Obama by day, do poor man's imitation of 2008 campaign by night. https://t.co/jN14g4pMCc

Poor man’s imitation of the 2008 campaign? Let’s see it!
Acclaimed artist and actvist Shepard Fairey has a new design in the Bernie Store: https://t.co/TeOfYwtwWohttps://t.co/i9RIoz9AsO

We like that it would fit right in at a Charlie Daniels gig, and the little red flames on each side are cool … they remind us of Ted Cruz’s logo. We forgot to check the price but we’ll assume they’re free, thanks to a new campaign T-shirt tax levied on the big Wall Street banks.
@brianefallon not sure how linking directly to @BernieSanders online store is helping your campaign. Nice design, though, @OBEYGIANT

.@brianefallon this has got to be the most Clinton campaign thing I've seen yet, a former Justice Dept official sniping a street artist..

@brianefallon shouldn't you be a touch more professional than this considering the implication your words have on your boss?

@brianefallon @BernieSanders It's a creepy, fascist-looking design. I don't know what the artist was thinking.

Probably, “I think I’ll go for a creepy, fascist-looking design.”

@brianefallon poor man's imitation? This is an artist choosing who to support. Sorry it ain't your candidate.
