“Young Turks” host and major jagoff Cenk Uygur is running for Katie Hill’s former congressional seat — and he’s got Bernie Sanders’ blessing, natch. But Bernie’s campaign is in some hot water over that, thanks to some of Uygur’s past remarks about women as well as Jews and Muslims. The L.A.

It's not that weird, if you think about it. They knew what they were doing. — Keith Maniac, from Guatemala (@CutItOutPutin) December 13, 2019

Indeed. Bernie Sanders has chosen to surround himself with anti-Semitic, homophobic bigots. That’s on him, not on the Free Beacon.
