Former MSNBC anchor Cenk Uygur is the co-founder and main host of the left-leaning online media outlet ‘The Young Turks’, that according to him is the “biggest online news show in the world”.[1] Uygur, a progressive racist, is a proponent of legalized bestiality and an Armenian holocaust denier with an affinity for common use of the "N" word.[2] In 2019 Uygur announced his intention to run for the U.S. House as a Democrat to fill the seat vacated by California Democrat and white supremacist Katie Hill.
Cenk Uygur is an agnostic and ex-Muslim.[3]
Despite good ratings while Uygur hosted MSNBC Live for six months, he was not offered a permanent role.[4] According to his version of events, his departure from the network was because MSNBC management considered him too combative towards "those in power" and wanted him to "tone it down".[5]
Cenk Uygur and Kyle Kulinski of The Young Turks network were on the board of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Justice Democrats PAC in early December 2017, but Uygur was forced out of the organization on Dec. 22, 2017 after what Saikat Chakrabarti called “extremely disturbing sexist and racist statements” Uygur made in the early 2000s were unearthed.[6]

See also: Atheism and bestiality and Liberalism and bestiality
In 2013, Cenk Uygur said that if he had the power to do so he would legalize bestiality in cases where the person is pleasuring the animal and the animal appears not to mind.[7][8]
Cenk Uygur on Israel
On December 12, 2006, Uygur, a notorious anti-Semite, referred to Jerusalem, Israel as a "pain in the world’s ass" and stated that his plan to solving the Israel-"Palestine" conflict is to bulldoze the city.[9] On March 7, 2019, he hypocritically claimed in a Twitter post that right-wing evangelical support of Israel is "anti-Semitism", as well as calling it the "worst anti-Semitism in the world", which drew heavy criticism against him for his anti-Semitic and anti-Christian comments.[10]
