Jamal Simmons, a longtime Democratic operative and political analyst, was announced last week as the successor of Ashley Etienne, who left the Vice President's office last month along with other employees.
Between 2012 and 2021, Simmons tweeted a few times how he thinks Bush "stole" the election from Gore in 2000. Simmons, who was the deputy communications director for the Gore-Lieberman campaign, also called Bush's first term "illegitimate."
"@jpodhoretz I worked for Gore 2000 & believe W's 1st term to have been illegitimate," Simmons tweeted. "Yet when in the room w/him I stood and gave respect."

In a 2017 tweet, Simmons replied to a Twitter account, whose tweets are protected and unreadable, saying, "I said losing tickets. Gore Lieberman didn't lose."
The discovery of these tweets arrives as national Democrats portray Republicans as the only culprits who stress the "Big Lie," a phrase that the media and Democrats have used for former President Trump's assertions that President Biden stole the election from him in 2020.

A couple of weeks before President Biden was sworn in, Simmons proceeded to tweet his thoughts about the 2000 election, saying he thought "W stole the 2000 [election]," but added that he "still stood when [Bush] entered a room."
A few years after the 2000 election, Simmons worked for then-Sen. Bob Graham's failed presidential campaign, during which he inferred the Florida recount saying, "[Graham] knows firsthand what voting irregularities and disenfranchisement can mean for the electoral process."

Simmons wasn't the only Democrat close to Gore who asserted that the election was stolen from him. Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, who lost his gubernatorial race last November, questioned the 2000 election results several times.

"Our base voters are madder than heck and think they were robbed. They worked their hearts and souls out in the presidential election only to have it taken from them," McAuliffe said in 2001.
In a 2001 interview with Black Entertainment Television (BET), McAuliffe said that the Democrats "won the campaign" in 2000 but "didn't get the prize."

"Folks, you know it, I know it, they know it," McAuliffe said during another Democratic event in 2001, referring to the 2000 election. "We won that election."

Other prominent Democrats who have claimed an election was "stolen" or that they actually won, include two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams.
A White House official told Fox News that Simmons respected Gore's decision to respect the electoral process.
