Sen. Bernie Sanders retracted his endorsement of congressional candidate Cenk Uygur on Friday, less than 24 hours after making it, as allegations of sexism hit the former online talk show host.
.@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.
With the attention Sanders’s endorsement generated, controversy followed. Critics pointed to Uygur’s long history of inflammatory comments. Bragging about his Mardi Gras exploits in New Orleans in 2003, Uygur wrote in a column about how he had “kissed over 23 different women, saw and felt countless breasts.”
