The report included multiple claims from sources of disfunction in his campaing, including that Schlossberg had high staff turnover, regularly skips strategy meetings and disappears for long periods of time with little explanation. It said that during his campaign launch, Schlossberg had to leave to take a nap — a claim that the hopeful congressman hit back on in a social media post after the article came out.  ...
