LA County Democratic Party Says Cenk Uygur “Does Not Belong in Congress”
Uygur, the founder and host of The Young Turks, announced last week that he was running for a congressional seat in California.
The Los Angeles County Democratic Party has criticized Cenk Uygur, the founder and host of The Young Turks who announced a congressional run last week, over numerous shameful comments hes made in the past. The party added that the candidate does not belong in Congress.
Cenk Uygurs comments are both heartless and disqualifying for someone who wants to serve in the peoples U.S. House of Representatives. The Los Angeles County Democratic Party does not tolerate hate or discrimination against any group or community. Instead, we celebrate the Democratic values of inclusivity, fairness, diversity, and compassion of and for people of all backgrounds and communities, LA County Democratic Party Chair Mark J. González said in a statement. Cenk Uygurs shameful comments underscore the fact that he believes the opposite and as a result he does not belong in Congress.
Uygur is campaigning in Californias 25th congressional district for the seat recently vacated by former Rep. Katie Hill.
In the LA County Democratic Partys statement, the group pointed to Uygurs comments on incest; derogatory statements about the Jewish, Muslim, and LGBTQ communities; and sexist statements hes made toward women that were first uncovered by The Wrap.
In a 2017 interview with The Wrap, Uygur had apologized for his past graphic remarks about women, which included a claim that women were genetically flawed because they dont want to have sex frequently enough.
The stuff I wrote back then was really insensitive and ignorant, Uygur said. If you read that today, what I wrote 18 years ago, and youre offended by it, youre 100 percent right. And anyone who is subjected to that material, I apologize to. And I deeply regret having written that stuff when I was a different guy.
Following the LA County Democratic Partys statement, the Democratic Alliance for Action in Santa Clarita, Calif., also came forward on Monday afternoon to condemn Uygurs comments.
This kind of rhetoric has no place within the Democratic Party or our government. These remarks make Uygur unfit to serve in the House of Representatives. We condemn in the strongest possible terms the statements made and encourage all community members within the 25th Congressional District to do the same, the alliances executive board said in a statement.
Representatives for The Young Turks did not respond to a request for comment.
Some women treat men pretty badly too. It’s a two way street.
Just embracing his Turk background...
Yep. Right on queue. We are headed for dark dark times. Maybe 5 more years of Trump; what comes after will be downright scary.
Does the Koran weigh in on beastiality?
He wants to legally fuck goats.
Animals beget animals. They liberals cry when anyone is called an animal especially Pelosi who says we are all gods children. She must approve of this
Not too many years ago, the government mandated warning signs on consumer items. These labels were supposedly designed to protect the consumer. Truth is, those warning labels have stopped the stupid from injuring or killing themselves. The result has been more Liberals living long enough to breed.
..........using disgusting comments.........
You got that right. Women I have filed divorces against have hit men over the head with bottles, scratched and clawed them, put underwear on their heads, thrown things, spent every damn dime they made while sitting on their asses at the nail store, told men they are mentally ill...........called them ****less, it is truly horrible.
A goat-plugger running for Congress is no worse than a butt-plugger running for president. Deviancy is the stock in trade of the Democrats.
I was just talking about the psych trauma, LOL
Personally, I can see why every one wanted to touch her. Nice rack.
Uh ... pretty broad brush there ...
psychology of self actualization + subjectivistic ethics = anything goes
As a family law lawyer, I have heard a lot of bad reports. I highly recommend divorce sooner rather than later. Do not stay in a horrible situation. Get out and make a new life.
It’s because I hear it all as a family law lawyer.
