Cenk Uygur to Trump Supporter: Denying You're A Racist Is "Why We Think You're A Racist"

LYNN, C-SPAN CALLER: I would like to ask this fellow what is his authority to say -- sit up here and spew all this hateful, all Republicans are racist. Do you live in my household? Do you know me? You can not sit there and tell everybody that I am a racist so that people will come and attack me. Y'all are the problem. Y'all are the ones who are spewing all this hate and dividing everybody.

CENK UYGUR, 'THE YOUNG TURKS' HOST: Lynn, do you support Donald Trump?

LYNN: Yes I like Donald Trump.

UYGUR: Well, that's why we think you're a racist. …

He's said we should ban all Muslims. Well, that's bigotry by definition. He said it during the campaign over and over again. Calling Latinos criminals and rapists. So if you're on board for that, you should look in the mirror if you're trying to find a racist.

LYNN: Right now on the TV, you are the racist. You are. And you have no right to say this.

UYGUR: No, I have a right. See, you're used to Republicans being strong on television and Democrats cowering. New day in America. We don't play that game. Progressives, we actually fight back. So, you can call me racist based on what? Ok?

I never said anything about white people. I said right-wingers and people who support Donald Trump. That's why I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I asked you if you support Trump because I'm judging you by your ideas, the people you are backing. I'm not doing it blindly and I'm definitely not doing it based on your race.

Sounds a lot like witchcraft. If you deny it you are surely a witch.

Hypocrisy and Irony coming from someone who hosts a show named after genocidal savages.
