One of Bernie Sanders' recently promoted campaign staffers caused a stir after making deeply personal swipes at other Democrats in the field on social media.

The online attacks came from a Twitter account belonging to Ben Mora, who was a Michigan regional director working on Sanders' campaign, according to Daily Beast.

Sanders’ already has a problem with “Bernie Bros.” – some of his followers who have been called overly aggressive and threatening. Now the new scandal reveals a staffer posting tweets that took aim at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who Mora reportedly referred to as a "dumb Okie" and "adult diaper fetishist" as well as former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who Mora said he could "never trust" because he "combined the natural devious disposition inherent in gay men with a bloodthirsty careerist drive."

Also under attack was Pete's husband, Chasten, who Mora said will be "busted for running a meth racket."

"Chasten Buttigieg has the vibes of a housewife whose slow burning repression is leading to an inevitable psychotic break, mark my words in 10 years he will go missing and then resurface in Ft Lauderdale after getting busted for running a meth racket w a bunch of Guatemalan twinks," Mora wrote in a tweet cited by Daily Beast.

Warren has been subjected to multiple jabs from Mora, who allegedly accused her of lying about her Native American ancestry, and "about being fat.".

"When Warren talks about how she knows she’s Native American because of her 'high cheekbones' where sis? Another lie. You look like sh--," he tweeted.

Mora has since been fired, said Mike Casca, the Sanders campaign’s communications director. He explained that they were "running a multiracial, multigenerational campaign for justice" where the "disgusting behavior and ugly personal attacks" by staffers would not be tolerated.
