Progressive Pundit Cenk Uyger Joins Charlie Kirk to Call for a “Populist Revolt”

The Young Turks co-founder Cenk Uygur joined Charlie Kirk onstage at a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix on Saturday — which was weird enough — but then praised the group for being more “welcoming” and called for a “populist revolt” against established elite groups.

“I can tell you definitely that the Democrat leadership and the Democratic establishment will never voluntarily go in a new direction. They will never voluntarily accept populism. They are built on donor money. They are of the donors, by the donors, for the donors,” Uygur said.

Uyger told Kirk:

Uyger, a Turkish-born naturalized U.S. citizen, made an unserious run for President in 2023, saying he was running against Joe Biden because he was “down 24 points on the economy. He has no ability to make up that kind of ground on the most important issue.”
