The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur files to run for Katie Hill's House seat
The Hill ^ | 11 13 2019 | John Bowden

Posted on 11/13/2019 9:17:49 PM PST by yesthatjallen

The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur filed Wednesday to run for the House seat vacated by former Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.), who resigned following a House Ethics Committee investigation into her inappropriate sexual relationships with staffers.

An FEC filing dated Wednesday announces the formation of the "Cenk for Congress" committee, with Uygur listed as the group's treasurer. Uygur addressed the filing on Twitter, writing: "To all reporters: No comment."

The left-leaning broadcaster aligns himself with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, and in 2016 endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic presidential primary. He recently endorsed Sanders in the 2020 primary, as well.

Justice Democrats are responsible for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Justice Democrats

"In the 2018 elections, 26 of the 79 candidates endorsed by Justice Democrats won their respective primary elections. Seven of these candidates won in the general election: Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pramila Jayapal. Khanna and Jayapal were both first elected in 2016 before joining Justice Democrats, and Grijalva was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2002."

Fred Flintstone runs for Congress

Yabba Dabba Doo. So does that mean all his shows and webcasts get pulled from the airwaves?

How do you pronounce his name? “Chunk”, “Chink”, “Check”?

“Ugg-year”

I’ve never heard him , or anyone else, pronounce his name.

Too bad there are no famous Armenians who will speak out against him.

Neither have I.

I always thought of him as "Wigger" or "Wee-gur," like the Uyghur Muslims who live in China.

It's probably wrong, but who cares?

this is a California seat so it will be demacrat most likely so if he looses great but if he wins even greater....the guy is low IQ with only rote knowledge in things. he has no real intellectual ability behind the views he has....think forest gump as a political commentator… I am about positive we will lose AOC in the next election. we can be thankful for her helping to educate the general public on how stupid they are. the same goes for cenk Uyrgur he has little understanding in convincing people of a position generally his audience on YouTube was brain washed in the university before gaining them. no one watches this person and becomes woke. to stomach his views you need to be there t6o begin with

Congresswoman Kardashian?

One of them could be a worthy successor to Katie Hill.

If it’s similar to the Turkish alphabet which it probably is...the C is pronounced as a J. Think of yank on a cord except with a J in place of the y in yank. Jank. I don’t know if he calls himself Turk, Kurd, Uzbek, Uighur, or whatever. The sounds are all similar.

I can’t imagine that he would be an “Armenian Genocide” denier. However, I am gonna miss him on youtube as the Young Turk meltdown on Election Night was THE BEST EVER! When I am feeling low, I watch their descent into hell as they lament Trump’s victory. Delicious.... Absolutely Delicious, with or without Chianti!
