Watch Cenk Uygur absolutely destroy militants and FBI over ‘right-wing privilege’ [View all]

But after one unhinged militant called to “kill” law enforcement, Uygur appeared unable to contain his rage on Wednesday’s show.

“We’re going to have a conversation with these guys?” Uygur asked. “They were free to come and go for three weeks, there was no perimeter. The FBI says, ‘Oh don’t worry, we just set up a perimeter.'”

“God damn right, I’m worried!” he exclaimed. “Why didn’t you set up a perimeter the first time they captured a federal building, armed, talking about how they’re going to murder people who come and try to take it from them.”

“And here are these guys on camera saying, ‘We’re going to murder the cops if they come to get us.’ You stole, sh*t, you criminal, you thug!”

Uygur observed that black and liberal activists would have been quickly stopped by authorities if they attempted similar actions.

“Look at the white privilege here, and it’s not just white,” he explained. “It’s right-wing privilege. Because if left wingers had taken over, environmental groups had taken over and say, ‘Oh, we’re going to do this and we’re going to do that.’ It doesn’t matter if it’s a Latino, a black group or it’s just white Greenpeace or animal rights guys, nobody gets to come and go and threaten cops and talk about killing them!”
