3:45Now PlayingLast month, Austin Pastor Jordan Brown accused a Whole Foods of defacing his cake with a homophobic slur. He now admits it didn’t happen. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Monday, Pastor Jordan Brown admitted to faking an incident in which he accused a Whole Foods store of adding an anti-gay slur to his cake order, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
Last month, about a gay pastor who bought a cake at an Austin, Texas Whole Foods that read “loves wins,” but he received a cake that also said “f*g” below it. Whole Foods was quick to file a counter-suit against the man saying that the cake decorator did not write the anti-gay slur on the cake.

Brown also issued several apologies, saying, in part, “I want to apologize to Whole Foods and its team members for questioning the company’s commitment to its values.”
