You're embarassed, and can't respond with any real defense of Sanders' unwise embrace of him and I can understand why. That video is filled with pure gleeful misogyny. That must be incredibly frustrating for women who have supported Sanders to deal with. Avoiding even acknowledging its existence, or pretending that one thinks it's not really what it is, is likely the easiest way to cope with the implications of this video.
You would think that the campaign learned something after the whole thing with Cenk. However if one thinks that they don't ever make mistakes, learning from them is going to be impossible.
MoveOn has the courage to call him out on it. They have decided that misogyny is misogyny, and it's always bad to be associated with if one is a progressive.
I guess they have decided that Sanders aligning with Rogan's praise, and releasing a statement basking in it is worthy of some "interest."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
