Young Turks host Cenk Uygur is having a very bad week.
Last week’s uproar over him fighting unionization hadn’t even died down before Ungyer lost his carpetbagger bid for the 25th Congressional District that Democratic incumbent Katie “Naked Bong Hits” Hill resigned from.
In fact, Uygur came in fourth in the jungle primary, behind not only Democrat Christy Smith and Republican Mike Garcia (who are in a runoff May 12), but also behind Republican Steve Knight (who had previously represented the district before losing to Hill in 2018). Ungyer didn’t just lose, he lost badly, garnering just 5.4% of the vote and coming in at one fifth of Smith’s vote total.
Then, on top of that, he had his flight delayed for four hours. How did he take that?
Not. Well.
In case you didn’t know, Cenk is a dick. You see someone’s character when they’re inconvenienced. (Or when they deny the Armenian genocide) https://t.co/4kVWXl70V8

I can understand being upset over a plane being delayed four hours. However, taking it out over service personnel isn’t going to make the plane magically appear. Moreover, filming yourself being a complete dick to those same service personnel isn’t going to help the plane appear either, or encourage normal, non-crazy people to watch your show.
Still another problem with the Social Justice Warrior left is how overt outbursts of anger are always seen as righteous and validating rather than a dangerous lack of self-control.
And the kicker is that Uygur uploaded this video himself, as though he would be the one who came off well for yelling at random employees. Oh, you get angry when you get hungry? Then pack some food, idiot!
The entitlement mentality of our left-wing media elites seems infinite.

This story reminds me of the time we were trying to fly home (to Austin) on American Airlines from Seattle the weekend that some genius at AA decided to switch over the computer system during the height of the summer travel season. Don’t know if you remember, but It Did Not Go Well.
We were hours late into Dallas–don’t remember but it was at least 4–and by then the gate lounge for Austin flights was filled with extremely irate people all berating the hapless clerks at the desk. It obviously was not their fault, but they were the face of the airline so people let fly. Husband and I felt very sorry for them and were calm, positive, cordial, and reassuring.
Somehow we got on the last flight to Austin that night and other people who were there when we arrived did not. We’ve never thought it was a coincidence. (And, no, didn’t have a bazillion Advantage miles either).
Cenk, of course, will never, ever learn that lesson because he will never, ever be nice to anyone who he sees as subordinate to him.
P.S. I never get tired of watching the video of his meltdown on election night 2016.
Yeah, the Young Turk meltdown 2016 videos were glorious. Always a good pick-me-up if you’re feeling down.
Here’s a weird thing, though: If You search for “Young Turks Meltdown” on YouTube, those videos don’t come up, but if you do it in Google, they’re right there in the first hits.
