Bernie Sanders Retracts Controversial Cenk Uygur Endorsement After Backlash

WFB: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) on Friday rescinded his endorsement of Cenk Uygur, the controversial Democrat running for Congress in California who has a history of offensive and sexist writing.

“As I said yesterday, Cenk has been a longtime fighter against the corrupt forces in our politics and he’s inspired people all across the country,” Sanders said in a statement. “I hear my grassroots supporters who were frustrated and understand their concerns. Cenk today said he is rejecting all endorsements for his campaign, and I retract my endorsement.”

An hour prior to Sanders’s announcement, Uygur also announced he would no longer be accepting or soliciting endorsements. He thanked Sanders and Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) for their support, saying it “took real courage in the face of the corporate media and Democratic establishment onslaught.” read more

    In other words, you heard he endorsed bestiality (he did), and that’s where you drew the line.

    May actually be his line to sniff like Biden.

  2. This asshole has said so many nasty things about everybody that he has no chance and his campaign will simply auger in at the speed of sound. Not even the California cretins would want this dick in office when they are reminded on TV, radio and print what type of person he is.
