Young Turks co-founder Cenk Uygur praised a Turning Point USA conference for being “more welcoming” to him than Democrats.

Uygur joined TPUSA leader Charlie Kirk on stage in Phoenix, Arizona at the organization’s annual AmericaFest 2024 conference. Footage from the event shows the progressive media pundit receiving a standing ovation.

During his on-stage interview with Kirk, Uygur noted that Republicans do “a great job of coalescing” and are more “welcoming” to other political groups than Democrats. Uygur has criticized Democratic leaders, including Kamala Harris, following Donald Trump’s victory in the November election for not reaching out to independent voters with a populist message.

He also encouraged Democrats to “unify” and stop attacking “one another.” Uygur then said older Democratic voters need to stop watching cable news because “they’re trying to get you to vote for corruption.”

CENK: You guys do a great job of coalescing. Okay, So you do a couple of things, well. You work together well, and you’re more welcoming, if I’m being honest.

KIRK: We’re glad Cenk’s here. Right, everybody?

CENK: And a lot of people on the left know this as well. If you agree with MAGA 5%, the answer you get is welcome, right? Come join us right? On the left if you disagree 5%, they go, get out of here. You’re a right winger. You’re a fascist. Right? But if you push enough people out and you guys welcome enough people in, eventually you win the popular vote. That’s what I warn them about. And that’s what happened, right?

CENK: So, look, I proposed simple rules, the three rules of the Internet. Rule number one. When we disagree, we fight. There’s nothing wrong with that right now. New rule number two is afterwards, we must have a beer together. Okay. And and rule number three is, for God’s sake, when we agree, let’s unite. So for the left. We have too much division. We almost never unify. I don’t mean with the right. I mean internally. The left loves to attack one another. I love you guys on the left. I love you. But every once in a while, when we get a yes, when we agree. Can we please unite? And the second thing we need is for the old I’m being honest. And on average, not everyone, of course, but for the older Democratic voters. Please turn off your television sets there. They’re lying to you. They’re tricking you. They’re trying to get you to vote for corruption. They’re trying to get you to vote for policies you don’t even want. So if we can do those two things, then we’ll be in great shape.
