Left-wing political commentator Cenk Uygur expressed frustration Tuesday with “left-wing extremists” whose positions, he claimed, help Republicans win elections by alienating voters.
Uygur, founder and CEO of progressive YouTube network “The Young Turks,” was responding to left-wing backlash to co-host Ana Kasparian’s objection to the activist term “birthing person.” (RELATED: Ana Kasparian Says She’ll ‘Never Apologize’ For Slamming Terms Like ‘Birthing Persons’)
Left-wing extremists help right-wing so much! 66% of this country is left-wing, according to polling on policy issues. They don't believe in defunding the police or being called Latinx or calling women "birthing people" or abolishing prisons. Anyone who claims they do is lying.
