A senior Bloomberg adviser shocked CNN host Alisyn Camerota Tuesday after inaccurately accusing Bernie Sanders of contemplating 'women's rape fantasies' and tying orgasms to cervical cancer risk.
But going on the attack on CNN Tuesday, O'Brien sought to drudge up the"loony" side of Sanders. The Sanders campaign responded to the initial uncovering of these essays in 2015, denouncing his old writings which"in no way reflects his views or record on women."
"We've got a candidate who has risen in the polls because of his track record. Bernie has all of this loopy stuff in his background, saying things like women get cancer from having too many orgasms, or toddlers should run around naked and touch each other's genitals to insulate themselves from porn," O'Brien ranted Tuesday morning."Why has this stuff not been more surfaced? He's written about women's rape fantasies - that hasn't been surfaced.
In a December 1969 essay entitled,"Cancer, Disease and Society," which was originally published in theunderground newspaper, Sanders argued that cervical cancer can potentially be caused by a woman's inability to achieve an orgasm—the inverse of what O'Brien suggested on CNN Tuesday.
In May 2015, the Sanders campaign responded to a 1972 essay about rape:"It was intended to attack gender stereotypes of the '70s, but it looks as stupid today as it was then," former Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs told CNN at the time. The essay was first uncovered by Mother Jones earlier that month. The primary against Hillary Clinton was nearly a year off.
