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

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.

I just don't understand why any group would call themselves the Young Turks. The Young Turks political movement was responsible for both Greek, Coptic, and Armenian genocide.

So what do you think they have planned for us?

To be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, the Constitution requires that you live in the *state* that you represent; if he doesn’t live in the district, then he won’t be able to vote for himself, but he would be able to serve in Congress if he got elected.

I have heard it’s supposed to be “Jenk You-goor.” I hope the last name isn’t pronounced “We-goor,” because then it would confuse him with the Turkic ethnic group in northwest China. One time I was looking for examples of Uygur music (also spelled Uighur) on YouTube, and at least half the videos I got back were commentaries from this clown. Nothing I have heard so far from Cenk Uygur makes any sense.

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

Back in the 1980s California had a Republican governor who was Armenian, George Deukmeijian. Is he still around?

Like Ed Schultz, Cenk was a former conservative who saw that becoming a Leftist was more lucrative.
