It looks like Cenk Uyugar has finally been red pilled

Or, at least comfortable enough to come out. I was going to write that he has switched sides, but many here know he’s been an enemy of Democrats for a while now.

I won’t link to Twitter because I can read the room, but here is the text of 2 tweets he wrote this week:

“I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them," Uygur wrote as he praised Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr for reaching out to him.

"Hey @elonmusk, put me in charge of the Pentagon. I'll slash $400B easy. That'll get you 20% to your goal of $2T, right out of the gate. I went to Wharton three years before you. I own a media company, so I know how to run a business. If you really want to cut, put me in, coach," Uygur wrote.

Here’s some info for those who don’t want to go to Twitter:

Sen. Bernie Sanders drew criticism this week after endorsing Cenk Uygur, a California congressional candidate with a history of using racial slurs and making demeaning comments about women.

But others say Uygur has been using his platform for years to make offensive statements about women, Jews, Muslims, and other groups. In 2016, for example, he defended the Harvard men’s soccer team for rating female students’ attractiveness in a “scouting report,” Michael Finnegan reports at the Times.

What I never understood is how his female ARMENIAN cohost could tolerate his misogyny, bullish behavior, and on multiple occasions his denial of the Armenian genocide. Given he is Turkish, this (among other things) really ought to be at least some issue for her, but opportunist that she is... Nope.
