Wed Jan 15, 2020, 07:24 PM

after Bernie was shamed into retracting his endorsement of Cenk (that he was warned by people in CA from doing) because Cenk has a history of racist and sexist comments, and Bernie's supporters were outraged.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/13/us/politics/bernie-sanders-cenk-uygur.html

Apparently Bernie felt that Cenk's flattery of him on his show was more relevant than Cenk's misogyny, which got him BOOTED FROM THE JUSTICE DEMOCRATS, OF WHICH HE WAS ONE OF THE CO-FOUNDERS.

Seeing the irony and tone deafness in this situation now?

You're welcome.
