ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: Bernie Sanders Retracts Endorsement of Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur. “Sanders (I-VT) on Friday retracted his endorsement of Cenk Uygur, the Young Turks founder vying for former Rep. Katie Hill’s (D-CA) congressional seat.”

More from CNN, astonishingly enough:

Uygur — who had already backed Sanders’ bid for president and is a candidate in the competitive race to replace Katie Hill in California’s 25th Congressional District — has built a following around his popular progressive talk show “The Young Turks,” which started as a radio program before becoming a well-watched YouTube channel.

But he was forced from the group Justice Democrats in 2017 after old blog posts were unearthed in which he objectified women. He had also made controversial comments on his program, including arguing that bestiality should be legal in some cases, demeaning the sex lives of lesbians and inviting former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke for a segment about his anti-Semitic view of Judaism.

And more from Power Line’s Paul Mirengoff:

John and I clashed with Uygur years ago on an AOL blog in which Power Line, the Young Turks, and others participated. Uygur suffered from a serious case of Bush derangement syndrome. He posted one rubbish rant after another, many of which featured ad hominem attacks and distortion of the facts.

We called him on this from time to time. He didn’t like it. Politico reported the highlight of our feud as follows:

A post [by Paul Mirengoff] generally defending the Bush administration’s handling of the war on terror, even though Osama bin Laden ha[d] not been captured, earned a response post from Uygur with the headline “Paul Mirengoff Celebrates Osama’s Freedom.”

Sadly, this was typical of Uygur’s work.

Some of Uygur’s posts contained gratuitous references to sex. I was among the least surprised people in America when news of his vile, misogynist writing emerged.

According to Washington Post, Uygur once claimed that “the genes of women are flawed” and that women 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.” Other comments were more graphic.

Nor did Uygur change much with the times. According to the Post, as recently as 2013, he posted crass commentary on Twitter about women’s bodies.

Fortunately though for Uygur, based on current “Progressive” trends in both America and Canada, “Basically, all Cenk has to do is wear blackface and he’s in the clear,” Stephen Miller tweets.

HIDDEN BY IMPEACHMENT: ONE OF TRUMP’S ‘BEST WEEKS YET.’

Added to the list of accomplishments this week:

• An agreement on a new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal.
• A new budget including more than $1.3 billion for a border wall and blocks a government shutdown.
• House approval of the U.S. Space Force, a brand-new branch of the military.
• Government family leave that will be a model for a proposal for the public.
• Tentative agreement on trade with China.
• Approval of Trump’s 50th federal appeals judge.
• Confirmation of a new Food and Drug Administration chief.
• The signing of a pro-Israel anti-Semitism executive order.

Plus, advisers noted, Wall Street hit another record, and Pelosi conceded that on impeachment, “It’s been going on 22 months — two and a half years, actually.”

And, the advisers added, with impeachment likely, the president was assured by McConnell that the Senate would move fast on a trial that will end in acquittal and might include the support of two Senate Democrats, according to Sen. Rand Paul.

“There is one world where the mainstream media is covering impeachment, but there is another world where Trump is racking up a myriad of accomplishments, many of which have the support of the same Democrats who want to remove him from office,” said political communications strategist Ron Bonjean.
