My wife is from Taiwan, so my kids are half-Chinese. Because of racist assholes like & , their classmates are already blaming them for the virus & asking if they eat bats. My 9 year old son even came home & asked me if it was true. It's heart-breaking.
DNC has already announced that it will not allow any debates in 2024 primary. Biden is not to be challenged. Everyone on the Democratic side must shut up and fall in line. Not having debates is undemocratic and ridiculous. No progressive should agree to this kind of power grab.
If the Raiders sign Colin Kaepernick, they will break all records in merchandise sales.
So, bombs Syria and kills the minimum wage hike, confirming every fear progressives had. Soon they'll renege on getting $2000 checks to everyone in the middle class by limiting who gets it (to appease their donors). The establishment is back! And it absolutely sucks.
I want to thank Supreme Court for giving us the precedent that the President can unilaterally move funds out of the Defense Department through executive orders without Congressional approval. A progressive president should move hundreds of billions out to fight climate change!
You ever notice that whenever a politician promises to do anything for the poor or middle class, it’s characterized as a giveaway. But when they cut trillions in taxes for the wealthy, that’s not a giveaway. Constant assumption that rich are worthy but rest of us are undeserving.
. did 39 rallies on behalf of . She now repays the favor by blaming him for her loss & implying she hopes he'll lose this time. She has now blamed everyone but herself for the loss. Will she do as many rallies for Bernie if he's the candidate? Or any?
I’m running for Congress to represent CA-25. If we fight together for this seat, it will be the People’s seat. Fight with me by donating now secure.actblue.com/donate/cenk-fo #cenk2020
Cops initially said he "tripped & fell." He's 75. They pushed him to the ground & walked over him as he was bleeding on the ground. 1. If you take cops at their word, you're nuts. They are much more likely to be lying then telling the truth. 2. They're taught to be this barbaric.

New Tonight: Disturbing video from @WBFO in Buffalo, NY shows an elderly man walk up to police in riot gear. An officer shoves the man...he falls backwards, hits his head...starts bleeding immediately...motionless.
Why did this happen @BPDAlerts ?

This week botched report about how one of Roy Moore's victims had "forged" her yearbook. They had to retract. Breitbart of course never corrected. No uproar about fake news. No suspensions. Let's acknowledge double standard - right-wing is allowed to & expected to lie.
If is the nominee and he loses to Trump, will anyone in Democratic establishment and mainstream media admit they are idiots and that we should never, ever trust them again?
For every leftist who thinks it's brilliant to sit out this election, I'm genuinely curious-what's your end game? Ok, Trump wins again and then what happens? When do you pop out of the birthday cake and yell "surprise" as you take over the country? How will that work? Can't wait.
For 40 years has been fighting for us, it's time for us to fight for him. I proudly endorse Bernie Sanders! This is our time, let's go get this done! #NotMeUs
One remarkable thing that doesn't get enough credit for is how she has stayed in the fight in the face of unreal onslaught by right-wing (and some parts of the establishment). Most people eventually relent after that kind of sustained propaganda campaign, but she is unbowed!
Trump was the last gasp of the angry white man, Biden is the last gasp of old establishment and Bloomberg is the last gasp of the billionaire donor class. is the rise of the progressive movement. This is our time. And it starts today. #IowaCaucuses #NotMeUs
There is a shooting in a Santa Clarita high school with at least five injured, two critically. You know why? Guns. NRA. Mitch McConnell. That son of a bitch has taken $1.2 million in bribes from the NRA to make sure we have no gun control at all. And it's our kids who get shot.
With now leading in Iowa, New Hampshire & California, it’s fair to say he has excellent chance of being the nominee. So by establishment logic, now any attack against him hurts the party and chances of beating Trump. Whole party should start supporting him! #Unity
I was hoping and would unite before Super Tuesday. Instead the opposite has happened. The corporate Democrats have united & we haven’t. That’s heartbreaking. There is one last chance at redemption and it’s right now. don’t leave Bernie by himself!
What does get for his kindness in not calling establishment corrupt: just implied he's a sexist & she might not support him in the general. He did 39 rallies for her! He refused to call her corrupt. And this is how he gets paid back. Wake up, Bernie!
So, let me get this right. Hillary Clinton can say awful things about in an effort to damage him at a critical time (and so can everyone else on TV). But if dares to be mad about that all of a sudden the civility police show up & she is out of bounds?
Who were the biggest pedophiles and groomers in the country? Catholic priests. Who was the biggest pedophile in American politics? Dennis Hastert, Republican Speaker of the House. Biggest pedophile in America? Jeffrey Epstein, friend of Trump and Musk. Right-wing does projection.
In AZ Trump supporters are chanting “Count the Vote.” In PA they’re chanting “Stop the Count.” That kind of irrationally and hypocrisy is the perfect ending to the Trump era. The fact that half the country can’t see how absurd that is the saddest thing of all. #AlternativeChants
Every "reporter" or "news" anchor asks why he didn't perform well with African-American voters in the South, loaded with insinuation. Not one of them has asked why he did miserably with Latinos in Nevada. Do Latinos not count? Why the double standard?
If people are wondering why supporters are worried even though Biden only has slim lead in delegate count it's because the oppressive propaganda of the national media became unstoppable. They put out hundreds of millions of dollars of free media in favor of Biden.
Bernie was asked to give his endorsement of me back because of jokes I made decades ago. Ok, then shouldn't EVERYONE be asking to OBVIOUSLY give back 's endorsement based on the horribly racist things he INDISPUTABLY said and did in applying Stop & Frisk?
Can we all agree ahead of time that if Ghislaine Maxwell ends up dead in a jail cell that it wasn't suicide?
Win or lose, there is one legend in this race. There is one guy that the history books will write about. And there is one guy one whose shoulders an entire movement and generation stood. That legend is and even his biggest detractors know it. #NotMeUs
I think Supreme Court got the affirmative action case right. I'm sick of the strereotypes that attach to all minorities because of this policy. It was necessary in beginning, but it has become counterproductive. But legacy admissions, which are more unfair, must also be banned.
Imagine if Bernie Sanders had won in 2016. Think about how different the country would be now.
If you thought #IowaCaucuses were bad wait till you get a load of California. New digital ballot where not all candidates are on first page & you can vote without realizing there are more pages! is on 2nd page. I'm on 2nd & 3rd pages in primaries (special & Nov).
How can people not see that is the fakest person in America? Unctuous. Plastic. Meaningless talking point robot. No wonder the establishment loves him. #democraticdebate
I remember when ambushed me at SXSW panel, while he was dressed up as me (Crowder loves to play dress up). So, apparently that kind of ambush was ok (I didn't really care), but as soon as it's , he runs like a ... #CowardCrowder. #coldfeetcrowder strikes again!
It looks like took the Latino vote for granted and it cost him dearly. Does anyone remember who did great with Latinos in the primaries? Oh yeah, . The guy all of the media said wouldn't do as well in a general election. Oops. Again.
Three days after the Santa Clarita school shooting, high school students from another school in the district asked me how I'd end gun violence.
This is what I told them:
Note to who apparently never got the memo: was not responsible for 's loss. You want to know who was? Hillary Clinton. You know saying this obvious, factual statement is considered the most offensive thing for elites like Whoopi.
. attacked again on @TheEllenShow. He did 39 rallies for her, it looks like she’s going to do 39 media appearances against him. #Unity When she lost to in 2008 her supporters were known as PUMAs: Party Unity My Ass. I guess they’re back.
. on why they didn’t endorse me: “While we agree with him about the corrupting influence of money in politics and some other subjects, we find his pugnacious style off-putting and not conducive to a more civil Congress.” ie, He’s right but he’ll fight too hard for change!
. has 75% approval rating among Democratic voters - highest of any of the candidates. Is the media ever going to do any introspection about why they hate the one candidate the people love the most?
Do you know what Trump did today? Neither do I. And I love that I don't have to give a shit anymore what he does!
You know what's REAL anti-semitism? Right-wing Evangelical Christians supporting Israel because they think it will bring about the End Times where all of the Jews die. Worst anti-Semitism in the world!
DONALD TRUMP IS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO STEAL THIS ELECTION HE VERY, VERY CLEARLY LOST. HE IS ASKING STATE LEGISLATORS TO NOT AWARD THE ELECTORS OF THEIR STATES TO THE PERSON WHO WON. THIS IS A POLITICAL COUP. THIS IS WHAT DICTATORS DO. THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN AMERICA.
This whole offering to debate @Ocasio2018 issue is ridiculous and shows the bias of the media in favor of the right-wing. Fine, I offer the same $10,000 to debate . Not joking. Guaranteed it gets no coverage. Why won't the bumbling coward Ted Cruz debate me?!
If you think Damar Hamlin is actually dead because of the Covid vaccine and the NFL is using a body double, you are very literally mentally ill. Get help. Seriously.
. has taken the lead in Texas! Good night, Irene! Sweet dreams, establishment. It'll all be over soon. #NotMeUs #ThisTimeWeWin
59% of voters in Florida said they trusted more than to protect Social Security when in reality Biden tried six times to cut Social Security and Sanders has championed increasing it! People were wrong about this because national media lied to them!
Some are criticizing for ACCEPTING 's endorsement. Rogan & his guests have said terrible things- including about me! But if we turn away everyone who's trying to agree with us we'll have no one left. No one is perfect, including those "canceling" everyone.
Fact that isn't losing by 35 points is a damning indictment of our society. He is an openly racist demagogue and he's only losing by a normal margin. It's also an indictment of how split we are as a country. It's unimaginable to me that anyone would vote for him.
I am deeply humbled by all your support today.
Today was the biggest donation day since launch weekend, with donations averaging $23.
They are trying to force me out of the race because they know I'll fight for you.
Jokes on them, I'm not going away.
If you're right-winger defending Kyle Rittenhouse bringing weapons to protest and using it to shoot people & you're defending cops who shoot black people in the back, I want nothing to do with you. I don't have an interest in conversation, debate or small talk. Kindly, fuck off.
Can we all agree that if any tapes from the prison Jeffrey Epstein was being kept in are destroyed or turn up missing, that every official involved all the way up to District Attorney for Southern District of New York and Governor Cuomo should be fired?
If you believe all of world’s scientists got together to fake 7,000 climate studies as part of elaborate hoax, you’re not a conservative, you’re a lunatic. We have to stop treating people brainwashed by right-wing propaganda as political actors & start treating them as patients.
. is the only Democratic presidential candidate in my lifetime to ever talk about Palestinians as real people who deserve respect and should be treated with dignity. #GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) #DemocraticDebate
It’s not just that racist piece of trash called predominantly black countries “shitholes,” it’s also that he picked Norway as his example of a good country. Norway is massively liberal - so it definitely isn’t about politics. What else is Norway- massively white.
Good luck to . He is going to need it. I will always work 100% to make sure Trump is not re-elected. I have never wavered from that. But Biden was not our pick. If he loses, it'll be a catastrophe once again brought to you by establishment Democrats and national media.
Last week I was viciously smeared by corporate Dems & mainstream media.
What happened next blew me away.
-We raised over $150K with an average donation of $23
-6,200+ donations
-500+ people signed up to volunteer to help the campaign
I am incredibly grateful.
Thank you.
. endorsing is pure courage. She did it again. Bernie had her back and so many other progressives. I remember when they were on together during 2018 primaries fighting for progressives across the country. He should be honored for that.
I doubt that media will recognize it but crushed it tonight. It’s not just because they don’t like him, it’s that they don’t understand the power of populism. His full-throated (and sore-throated) defense of the average American is going to resonate! #DemDebate
This is when the American media will be tested. Trump broke the peace deal with Iran and it looks like Trump just killed the top Iranian general. Will the media be honest about what we have done or will they pretend Iran started this conflict and that the conflict is justified?
There is no way in the world we're going to let the Republicans fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat. If the Democrats lose this battle every single one of them should be tossed out of office. The precedent set with Merrick Garland is crystal clear! Under no circumstances!!
. won the debate but might have won the nomination tonight. He looked like the clear front-runner & the one guy fighting for the average American. The rest were terrible tonight & had career ending debate. #DemocraticDebate
LA is a mess. There's trash all over the roads. Cops don't respond to calls. It's close to anarchy here. Is Garcetti already in Mumbai? Is anyone running this city? Karen Bass seems to be saying she's going to maintain the status quo. She knows how to work the system. No thanks!
It's finally time to start saying it - if and were to unite, they would win EASILY. And a progressive president would be guaranteed. Both camps need to start thinking about the importance and magnitude of that decision. Everything rides on this!
. is now within two points of Biden in Texas. If Bernie wins Texas and California, this thing is over! #NotMeUs
Let's note that 5 out of 6 Democratic candidates tonight said the person with the most votes should NOT necessarily be the nominee. Let's also note that these are the same Democrats who said it was an outrage that the person with the most votes didn't win the presidency. #Irony
Everyone is demanding apologize (and she has). Ok. Has anyone demanded apologize for personally attacking ("nobody likes him")? He did 39 rallies for her. She is working overtime to smear him right now. Has she apologized? #NotMeUs
I defended when people made up things about her mental state because she was perfectly cogent in her speeches & debates. I said could definitely beat Trump (so could ). I no longer think that - Biden's #MentalDecline is now real & obvious.
I can't believe was fired. I 100% disagree with the decision. I think what she said was wrong and I totally disagree with her politics but firing her over that comment is not remotely the right way to handle this. Talk about it on-air instead! More speech, not less.
. with a crushing victory in Nevada! Now the presumptive nominee!! We’re ten days away from locking it up. Four years ago we whispered of a dream and now we’re at the doorstep of making it a reality! Now let’s finish strong! #NotMeUs
I ran into a voter who's a Latina mom in her thirties who apologetically told me she was a registered Republican. She switched to vote for Trump. She was so tired of corruption in Dem Party & couldn't vote for Hillary. She ended with, "Of course, I would have voted for Bernie."
. now in second place nationally. Here comes Bernie! It's not just the polls, there is an electric feeling in the air with progressive activists wherever I go. The Bernie rally is real. It's amazing what he has done against all odds and opponents. Here comes Bernie!
Chris Matthews compared victory to Nazis taking France. What happened to unity? I told you they were liars!! Unity meant compliance to the elites. Now that Bernie is winning, all of them are attacking him more not less. What happened to not hurting front-runner?!
Here comes Bernie! With 97% of precints reporting, all of a sudden, is only behind 26.1 to 26.2%. Almost caught him! Of course, he's not coming from behind, the voting actually took place what feels like months ago. #NotMeUs #NotPeteBernie
It looks like now on the warpath against . Spent most of her interview Bernie framing him in negative light. Now spent seven minutes with Warren asking about how awful Bernie supporters are. Rachel, did you ever consider why there is frustration online? 1/2
When contacted me for her story I thought we had a shared understanding the Duke clip was obviously out of context.
She was immediately sent the full, combative debate as proof.
That she completely ignored it & still published this lie is absolutely unconscionable.
Quote Tweet
This is stunning! @nytimes @JennyMedina claimed @cenkuygur said David Duke is “of course not” a bigot. This is the interview she was citing! They should immediately retract and apologize!

Serious question: If progressives started their own party what would Democrats then stand for? What does it mean to be a Democrat if you are opposed to progressive policies? Then what policies are you in favor of? Corporate ones? Is that what Democratic loyalists are so proud of? twitter.com/Tokalosh/statu

Historians will look back and not be able to understand how 40% of the country supported a guy who was an obvious imbecile, egomaniac, pathological liar & narcissist. I got news for you historians, we're living in it - and we have no idea how it's happening either. Sheer madness.
This isn’t to rub it in, it’s to explain what will happen again in the future - progressives like trying to curry favor with the establishment NEVER works. After doing everything they asked, she’s snubbed again.
If loses, there is no #MedicareForAll for the foreseeable future, at least a decade. That is so sad. We’ll keep going with this broken system that brutalizes people, sometimes let’s them die for profit & bankrupts almost anyone who gets a serious ailment. #NotMeUs
Do you know anyone in your personal life that would say they have "great and unmatched wisdom" without any irony? Would you stay friends with that person? Would you enjoy constantly hearing about their unmatched wisdom & how they are a very stable genius? #25thAmendmentNow
When says his opponent is the establishment MSM says, "How dare you?! Are you calling Biden voters part of the establishment?" When says Bernie is radical socialist, no one in media says, "How dare you?! Are you saying voters in IA, NH & NV are radicals?"
. just got Mark Zuckerberg to agree that there should be no billionaires -- from his hospital bed. Is there anything this guy can't do? #SuperSanders This guy is singlehandedly moving the whole country. #FightsForUs
If you live in #CA25 today is the big day. Please go out & vote! This is our one chance to have someone who doesn’t take any lobbyist or corporate money represent you. We can actually get universal healthcare, affordable housing & higher wages if we fight for it. Put me in coach!
. has earned my respect by being tough competitor & honest actor. She's not a phony like . She's been clear about her moderate stances. I don't agree but she doesn't hide them in a fog of ambiguous platitudes. Now I see why she won all those elections.
Candace Owens has been working over a really rich guy with mental health issues for a couple of years now. And she landed her whale today. is buying Parler, owned by ... Candace Owen's husband. To be fair, her grift game is strong. That's a grift that keeps on giving!
. told room full of rich donors, "I need you very badly." Then he said, "No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change." That could be his campaign slogan. Do people still not understand why progressives have no interest in voting for him?
In my door knocking I have not yet met one centrist voter. Who I have met are people who've been told that others are centrists & in order to win them over they have to vote for centrist candidates. This is how propaganda of media convinces you to vote against your self interest.
Yesterday on we told to leave California if he is so against it. Love it or leave it! Today he announced he's leaving. California - you're welcome!
Could you imagine if had said "nobody likes her" about ?!!! The media would have torn him to shreds. She says it about him - a deeply personal attack - and somehow she's the victim? Is there no end to the hypocrisy of the establishment? #NotMeUs
Let's note that the president was accused of sexual assault this week (rape actually, if you read her description). And it was not the biggest story of the year or the month or even the week. We have gotten used to what a monster our president is that this didn't even surpise us.
Biden has taken the lead in PA. It's over!!!!! I'm calling it - is next President of the United States! Donald Trump, America has a message for you: You're Fired! #Election2020results
The media coverage of collapse is not unfair. Her polling has cratered and she’s run a terrible campaign. But what is unfair is that the media is in love with & almost never writes anything critical of him. Their bias in favor of him is overwhelming.
It's amazing how unaware people are. just said, “I’m so liberal. Like I talk about it all the time. Like I am not a conservative." Based on what? All he's done for the last two years is extreme right-wing propaganda but in his mind he's still a compassionate liberal.
Does anyone think the people cheering for aren’t paid by him? And he apparently paid them to boo & . Classy. What happened to talking point about how rude Bernie supporters are? #DemDebate2020
