Bernie Sanders has endorsed controversial Young Turks host Cenk Uygur in the race to replace Katie Hill in California's 25th Congressional District

Uygur -- who had already backed Sanders' bid for president -- has built a following around his popular progressive talk show"The Young Turks," which started as radio program before becoming a well-watched YouTube channel. But Uygur's long media history comes with a significant amount of controversy, given a host of statements he has made over the years.

"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."The media figure's litany of controversial statements also includes a 2013 comment in which he argued bestiality should be legal in some cases."Here comes the controversial part, the part I shouldn't say," Uygur said during"The Young Turks" program, according to video posted online.

CNN is trash. That is all.

What BernieSanders? Insane!

Guys, if you're looking for purity politics it's going to be very hard to find anyone who will pass the test... ...and if you're really concerned with purity, stop reading or watching CNN, that would be a good start

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber...

ummmm! yea the sky is Blue. icky perverts sticks together

Of course Cenk Uygur is controversial for CNN because he holds corporate media accountable. CNN wants that weasel Pete Buttigieg to get nomination. I really hope Cenk can win a seat in Congress. America needs him.

Why is sanders even relevant. He’s a total sham

I unfollowed TYT due to my disagreements with their views many years ago so I may be wrong here... but this is over 1999 deleted comments he has already recanted? Please tell me you’re not James Gunning this guy, folks...

Gross

He is the perfect Democrat. Loves to make you all the victims

Sanders isn’t a Dem.

Bernie is moving up in the polls, the Bernie black out is over now the smears start.

CNN has him on.

'The Sanders campaign chose not to comment on Uygur's past, instead referring to the prepared statement.' Um, what?! Misogynist AND Pro-Beastiality?

If he is our candidate we will lose that seat.

BernieSanders listen carefully. Cenk Uygur wants Bestiality legalized. ByeBernieBye

I'm with Cenk!

Appalling. This is one of the many reasons I will NEVER vote for SenSanders He is one of the worst candidates to ever run for President. He is a fraud, just like GOP funded, sexist cenkuygur

A misogynist supports a misogynist.

Bernie 2020 will be a loss for Dems. Hillary 2020 ! Make it happen ! :)

Of course he did.

This is why NeverBernie

Exactly this.

AOC & WARREN have been on his show too..

Calling us young voters, “Gullible” please kindly and I mean this in the most sincere terms. Fuck off. I love how now all of a sudden since Cenk is running for office y’all have a problem. Especially when Sanders endorses him. Been running for weeks now but yet no OUTRAGE?

Not in the mood cnn Stop trying to be disingenuous towards them

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

'Controversial'? Wtf

What’s controversial about Cenk? Just because you say that doesn’t make it true. And then you wonder why people are losing faith in media.

WTF?

Dont forget the beastiality. That's a humdinger.

This is entirely disqualifying for a Democratic candidate, both Uygur and Sanders. Misogyny is not a party platform.

Sanders is done

CNN you guys suck.

Why is a Progressive Candidate always Controversial?

Corbin just got smoked. He was endorsed by AOC. Uygur gets endorsed by Sanders. Similar fate.

politicomanque Ughh, how disgusting. 🤮

Wait, not one word on him denying the Armenian genocide?

Bernie has lost his Fing mind.

Cnn fake news

But wait a minute... Progressive group ousts Cenk Uygur over past sexist writing

Is it because Cenk kneels at the altar of Bernie on a daily basis? What garbage!

Bernie Sanders appeared to endorse Communism, as he sat down in then, The Soviet Union (USSR) with Communist leaders, sitting at a table under a portrait of Vladimir Lenin. During his 14 day trip in USSR, he involved toward Socialism. Reminder 1 step below full Communism.

Just what California needs another communist that just goes along with the system, the swamp will never get drained! 🖕

Controversial?

Noooooo he’s obnoxious. But better than Corey Lewendowski 🤷‍♀️

Sanders endorsed Jeremy Corbyn too.

So in the world of CNN, Progressive = Controversial. I'm with Cenk all the way, and would love to see him politically nuke the establishment with his firey charisma and personality not seen since LBJ. What CNN is doing now is just fake news and not the Trump kind.

This dipshit😂

Full interview of Cenk Uygur and his congressional campaign.

Why exactly is Cenk “controversial”?

Bernie refused to endorse his own son for a congress in 2018 !!! But he has no problem endorsing this dud

They even made his picture small. High-larious CNN.

O M G Is this the guy that endorses bestiality?

NICE!

Ain't that a hoot.....

Berne needs to retire and enjoy his mansion.

controversial? lmao

....how do you spell 'CNN SUCKS'?

CNN Polls: Close race in California's Democratic primary while Biden tops in TexasLikely Democratic primary voters in California are about evenly split among the top three candidates -- Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren -- in the race for the Democratic nomination, while Texas Democrats tend to favor Biden, the nationwide frontrunner, according to new CNN polls conducted by SSRS in two of the largest early states to cast ballots next year. I was half expecting you to do that bullshit where you say Major Pete is a top 3 candidate but Bernie isn't... But hey, you got reading statistics right for once :) Also sanders biden. I'd rather save democracy by making it more both durable and lightweight Never learn anything from 2016, that’s your Democrats.
