Cenk hosting today. Annette Bosworth was running for Senate in the SD primary for Republicans and found out on Fox News during her interview that she lost when Megyn Kelly told her. Latest on Bowe Bergdahl’s dramatic release from the clutches of Taliban terrorists. The NY Times reports that the news of 6-8 soldiers that reportedly died searching for him don’t seem to be true. A former Bush Administration official, John Bellinger, told a FoxNews anchor that Bush would have taken the same deal that Obama took in getting Bergdahl back. When news of Bergdahl’s return first broke, many politicians praised the move and called him a hero. Once the skepticism of the circumstances emanated from the GOP, these politicians deleted their praiseworthy tweets to get back in line. Hillary Clinton topped off the flip floppers by positioning herself to claim partial credit with the Administration, but backed away once she read how it was being presented. Jayar update on Annette Bosworth. She turned herself into authorities after they charged her with election campaign fraud. Chuck Todd reported that the WH was expecting collective euphoria after Bergdahl was released. Instead, Rep Steve King called them members of the Taliban, while other Conservatives speculated that this will cause more Americans to be kidnapped all over the world in order to force Obama to release more terrorists. Videos of Oliver North randomly claiming that we gave a ransom of $5-6 million to free Bergdahl. Talk about the Congressional runoff results from the CA district that held their debate in TYT’s studio. The only one from our debate that made the runoff was the Republican. Cenk reveals amazing numbers behind the voting power non-Latino Whites have in low turnout election days. Maureen Dowd wrote a piece on the marijuana legalization issue while in Colorado by trying some edibles. Her description outlined how she slipped into a paranoid state and thought she died. Crazy Republican candidate for Senate in Iowa, Joni Ernst, won her primary after her TV ads that had her shooting at the camera and bragging about castrating pigs.
