I don't blame anyone for not watching the "Ana Kasparian quits" video, but if you did, you would hear some outrageous things from Uygur. He claims that MAGAs aren't as bad as Democrats make them out and his proof is that they hate Mitch McConnell and Dick Cheney as well. Like how can they be bad if they hate these bad people? Apparently he's unable to understand the concept of degrees of evil. McConnell & Cheney are terrible, but they at least didn't try to end democracy itself.
Another ridiculous claim he made is MAGAs are more welcoming than those on the "left" . Like you can agree with just 5% of MAGA and they will welcome you while the "left" demands you agree with them 100% of the time. That last claim would sure be news to people posting here on DU. There isn't anywhere close to uniform agreement here yet everyone is welcomed as long as they aren't clearly MAGA trolls. On the other hand, Cenk shows how disingenuous he is with the claim of MAGAs being welcoming as long as you agree with them in part while encouraging their booing of Mcconnell, Dick Cheney & Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney voted with Trump approximately 97% of the time, yet was kicked out of the party. Any Republican who dares say even one thing about Trump that is not praising him (it doesn't even have to be negative) is called a RINO. Musk and Trump have promised to Primary anybody who dares votes against Trump on anything. An Cenk calls this welcoming? Of course he knows better, he just decided he can probably make more money going forward by grifting off the MAGAs than pretending to be a liberal. Liberals/progressives/leftists caught onto his act a long time ago and any who have been paying attention know he was a fraud. TYT has been losing viewers/subscribers and money for a while know, hence the reason for this shift.
