4:53Now PlayingBernie Sanders is no fan of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. He is publicly backing her primary opponent Tim Canova in hopes she is voted out of office. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders announced in an interview released late Saturday that he would be backing Tim Canova, the progressive challengerrunning to unseat incumbent Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fl.) in the congressional race for Florida's 23rd district.
Wasserman Schultz has been a highly controversial chair of the DNC this primary season, and is widely perceived by many Sanders supporters as rigging the primary to bolster establishment candidate Hillary Clinton over Sanders' progressive campaign.
"Well, clearly, I favor her opponent," Sanders told Jake Tapper of CNN's State of the Union. "His views are much closer to mine than to Wasserman Shultz's."
Canova, who teaches at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, "was asked in 2011 to serve on Sanders' Wall Street reform advisory panel," notes CNN, and his progressive values are closely aligned with those that Sanders has fought for throughout his political career.”*
