RE: Cenk Uygur Joins The Chorus Demanding That Trump Escalate Further With Russia
Cenk is going, or has gone, to the dark side. Thank you for calling him out on this.

Cenk used to be a Republican. I think he's really just an opportunist who saw Bernie's popularity and used that to build an audience for his channel.
I did not know Cenk used to be a Republican. I do know he was a die-hard Democrat since the Bush years. He started his "Young Turks" broadcast in 2002.
Maybe he was Republican pre-Bush, before the GOP became completely co-opted by Neoconservatives and Moral Majority-types?
Cenk is very active in pushing "cool" and "hip" Democrats like Barack Obama (he was huge in the "Change", "Hope", and "Yes We Can!" scene), and Bernie Sanders. Though I don't recall him being as active with The 'Bern than he was with Obama. Admittedly, I stopped paying attention to people like Cenk, Bill Maher, etc sometime in early 2010s.
