Is Cenk Uygur cancelled?*
Cenk Uygur
Online news show host, founder of The Young Turks
In the early 2000s Uygur wrote a series of blogs posts in which he makes sexist and derogatory remarks about women. The posts resurfaced in 2017, leading Bernie Sanders to rescinded his endorsement of Uygur's 2019 Congressional campaign.
“The stuff I wrote back then was really insensitive and ignorant … If you read that today, what I wrote 18 years ago, and you’re offended by it, you’re 100 percent right. And anyone who is subjected to that material, I apologize to. And I deeply regret having written that stuff when I was a different guy.”
