Carl Wolfson Says He's Ending His XRAY.FM Radio Show Because Bernie Sanders Supporters Have Gotten Too Nasty

"I have too little faith in politics to continue," he says.

Portland progressive talk-radio host Carl Wolfson has felt the Bern. And he says the personal attacks of Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters are causing him to cancel his show.

Wolfson announced this morning on Facebook he's ending his morning politics talk show on XRAY.FM, citing the toll on his health and finances, the declining state of political discourse and the "vitriol of so many Bernie supporters" in the Democratic presidential primary race against Hillary Clinton.

"I have too little faith in politics to continue," he says.

"Carl in the Morning" debuted in March 2014 on KXRY 91.1 FM, better known as XRAY. It marked a return to the airwaves after Wolfson's left-wing drive-time talk show was dumped by Clear Channel, which turned KPOJ-AM 620 into a sports talk station in 2012.

This time, it's not a communications giant ending Wolfson's show: It's the host.

Here's the full text of today's farewell note from Wolfson.

UPDATE, 12:25 pm Thursday, Jan. 21: Wolfson tells WW his last show will air Feb. 15.
