Jose Canseco’s Twitter rant about politicians and sexual misconduct has reportedly cost him his job as an Oakland A’s television analyst.

In a series of tweets Tuesday, the former A’s slugger wondered aloud the onslaught of sexual harassment charges against politicians lately.

“What is going on with all these politicians molesting women,” Canseco tweeted. “I’ve been molested by several women and never complained.”

What is going on with all these politicians molesting women I’ve been molested by several women and never complained

Well I mean I’ve been beaten by women taken advantage of by women and molested by women I never complain but it was kind of a turn-on

I see the difference I guess cuz I was a good-looking guy and these politicians look like a bag of boogers

Why is everyone so worried about what I am saying I’m just a simple guy trying to pay my bills worry about who’s running our country

Among other things, the 53-year-old Canseco went on to say “these women complaining against sexual misconduct are just racist against ugly men.
