Trying to focus on the actual topic and ignore the bad faith OP- Cenk is better on the issues than Christy Smith. His politics are much closer to Bernie's. But this seems to be more of a loyalty move, as TYT has given Sanders a platform pretty much nonstop for the last 4 years.



Cenk had renounced his previous sexist comments from 20 years ago, and his Armenian Genocide denial, more than once. For me, the denial of genocide is particularly beyond the pale, I don't care what kind of propaganda he was raised on in Turkey, and I didn't like his initial disavowal (too weak). I haven't followed TYT for a few years, but I think he spoke more about the subject and went into more detail? In the end it will be up to the voters of that district whether or not to take him at his word.
