Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie rescinds Cenk Uygur endorsement after backlash [View all]OldRed2450
(710 posts)73. Let me get this straight.
Loyalty trumps all? Sexism and bigotry do not matter as long as there is loyalty? So it's not a problem that he rescinded the endorsement only because other people had an issue with it? The things Cenk said as recently as 2013 and 2016 were over the top vile. I mean, really over top nasty, vulgar and vile. I know he apologized but he lied in his apology and said it happened when he was a republican trying to minimize the severity of the comments. Also, he doesn't seem remorseful since yesterday he blamed democrats and the media for the foulness that came out of his own mouth.

This goes into the same file as Darius Khalil Gordon and Matt Orfalea, two other one-day wonders.

If you're going to plagerize, then plagerizing Bernie makes the most sense.

To edit: I was wrong. The poster was talking about Biden dropping out of his first POTUS race...

No, not compelling. But 'I know you are but what am I?' always makes me chuckle a little;)

Imagine the republican ads: "Bernie Sanders endorsed a nutcase who wants to legalize bestiality"
