If you are a political junkie, Cenk Uygur is big news these days. Uygur is a left-wing media commentator and host/creator of the popular online multimedia outlet “The Young Turks.” He recently was a guest speaker at “AmericaFest,” the annual meeting of Charlie Kirk’s right-wing political nonprofit, Turning Point USA.
The almost exclusively Republican AmericaFest crowd gave Uygur a standing ovation. Uygur’s appearance resulted in vitriol from both sides of the political aisle, with some right-wing pundits accusing MAGA of becoming a “left-wing movement” and a certain semi-coherent left-wing former sportscaster labeling Uygur, a seeming traitor to leftism, as a “gullible” “crank.”
