The hypocrisy of Cenk Uygur on super delegates [View all]

Hypocrisy, thy name is Uygur ... What is valid in 2008 isn't valid in 2016 because ... because ... Hillary Clinton is EVIL ...

This is Cenk Uygur & TYT announcing Barack Obama clinching nomination in 2008 .... on June 3rd.


Just as a reminder, on June 3rd, the primaries ended & then Sen Obama crossed the 50% mark of pledged delegates. Together with SUPER DELEGATES, the networks decided that he has enough to win the super delegates.

Cut to 2016 & this is Cenk Uygur and he accuses CNN and claims that calling Hillary as PRESUMPTIVE nominee on June 7th because she crossed the same threshold as Obama did in 2008 as the following: THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM! And then he goes on a rant on FBI indictment (sigh!)

Seriously, Cenk - get off your high horse. It already smells of hypocrisy. Logic died in that mess a long time back. At least spare exploiting decency.

Update: JurisDoctor shared this video of Cenk Uygur ripping Mark Penn in Feb 2008 because he wanted super delegates to overthrow the pledged delegates result if Hillary didn’t win.

Pity, he doesn’t remember his own comment
