Cenk Uygur, the co-founder of the Young Turks, went ballistic on his YouTube show following Sen. Bernie Sanders’s poor performance on Super Tuesday.
“Now, it’s not over. Now, we’re in a tie,” Uygur said as early results came in for Super Tuesday, in which he lost his left-wing bid to take the seat vacated by former California Rep. Katie Hill. “And now, we got absolute, dig-in warfare against the establishment. But we didn’t start the war.”
The host raised his voice as he spoke about the establishment Democrats and how they “lie” about Sanders.
“God damn it, tell the truth, god damn it, tell the truth,” he shouted. “You wanna go to war, we’ll go to war. And that is what this is. We cannot let Biden win.”
The Young Turks is a left-wing online news and commentary program. Uygur has endorsed Sanders for the 2020 presidential nomination.
It was a big night for centrist candidate Joe Biden, who is poised to take the largest haul of delegates from American Samoa and the 14 states that voted on Super Tuesday. The former vice president’s surge was preceded by former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar dropping out of the Democratic presidential primary contest and endorsing him.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spent more than $500 million on ads in the primary, announced he was also dropping out Wednesday and endorsing Biden.
