The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur on Wednesday said that progressive Democrats were gaslit by the more moderate members of the party to get votes for the Senate-passed coronavirus bill.

Uygur told Hill.TV that the “corporate Democrats” manipulated progressives into not blocking the stimulus bill passed Tuesday in an effort to add more progressive provisions.

“The problem is, for progressives, they often have the right policies, but they get gaslit by Democrats into not fighting too hard,” he said.
