Dr. Jason Johnson speaks onstage during the 2019 Politicon at Music City Center on October 26, 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo: Ed Rode/Getty Images for Politicon) Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders, and the progressive community more broadly, voiced outrage and demanded an apology Friday after _MSNBC _contributor and Morgan State University journalism professor Dr. Jason Johnson referred to Sanders aides and defenders as "people from the island of misfit black girls" during a radio appearance. "The man cares nothing for intersectionality," Johnson said of Sanders, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, on SiriusXM's _The Karen Hunter Show_. "And I don't care how many people from the island of misfit black girls that you throw out there to defend you ona regular basis."
"That's where you have crossed the line, sir," replied host KarenHunter.
"I don't care," said Johnson. Listen to the full segment.
The clip quickly went viral on social media and was immediately condemned by members of the Sanders campaign. "I hope we can have political disputes without engaging in open racism and sexism," Briahna Joy Gray, Sanders' national press secretary,tweeted
late Friday. "This misogynoir is disappointing, but not surprising from Dr. Jason Johnson. I hope we can all encourage each other to bebetter."
