This is awesome. So Bernie Sanders endorsed dimwit meathead Cenk Uygur, who is running to fill the seat left open by Katie Hill, who was sleeping with her underling in a “throuple” relationship. Annnnd now he’s retracting the endorsement over CENK’S misogyny! LOL!!
.@cenkuygur has been a longtime fighter against corruption. However, our movement is bigger than any one person. I hear my supporters who were frustrated and understand their concerns. Cenk today said he is rejecting all endorsements for his campaign and I retract my endorsement.

So wonderful. Here’s more from the Hill:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is revoking his congressional endorsement for Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur to fill the House seat vacated by former Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) as the media personality continues to come under fire for comments he’s made about women.
The thing is, these comments didn’t just bubble up today. They have been out there for a long long time! How did they not know this??!
The announcements come as Uygur plays defense amid scrutiny over past derogatory remarks he made about women.
“Obviously, the genes of women are flawed,” he wrote in a 1999 blog post. “They are poorly designed creatures who do not want to have sex nearly as often as needed for the human race to get along peaceably and fruitfully.”
Uygur also another post outlining the “rules of dating,” including that there “must be orgasm by the fifth date.”
“First of all, I wrote that stuff 19 years ago; I deleted it 15 years ago,” Uygur said on CNN this month. “I deleted it not because I thought I’d get caught or someone would find it, I deleted it because I didn’t believe it anymore. This is not me. I was trying to be a stupid, politically-incorrect Republican. So I wrote these things I knew were offensive.”
Uygur also defended himself this week from remarks he made in a 2013 episode of his show in which he ranked women on a scale from one to 10 based on how likely men would be to perform oral sex on them, among other things. Uygur told The Los Angeles Times that he should not be criticized for having “frank conversations about sex.”
Ah so wonderful. Of course, this is in a looney leftwing district in my beloved California, so the complete and utter sexist hypocrisy of this creep will probably help him in the election….
