LA County Democratic Party Says Cenk Uygur 'Does Not Belong in Congress'
snip//
Cenk Uygurs comments are both heartless and disqualifying for someone who wants to serve in the peoples U.S. House of Representatives. The Los Angeles County Democratic Party does not tolerate hate or discrimination against any group or community. Instead, we celebrate the Democratic values of inclusivity, fairness, diversity, and compassion of and for people of all backgrounds and communities, LA County Democratic Party Chair Mark J. González said in a statement. Cenk Uygurs shameful comments underscore the fact that he believes the opposite and as a result he does not belong in Congress.

In the LA County Democratic Partys statement, the group pointed to Uygurs comments on incest; derogatory statements about the Jewish, Muslim, and LGBTQ communities; and sexist statements hes made toward women that were first uncovered by The Wrap.

In a 2017 interview with The Wrap, Uygur had apologized for his past graphic remarks about women, which included a claim that women were genetically flawed because they dont want to have sex frequently enough.
This kind of rhetoric has no place within the Democratic Party or our government. These remarks make Uygur unfit to serve in the House of Representatives. We condemn in the strongest possible terms the statements made and encourage all community members within the 25th Congressional District to do the same, the alliances executive board said in a statement.
Representatives for The Young Turks did not respond to a request for comment.
