Young Turks co-founder Cenk Uygur praised a Turning Point USA conference for being "more welcoming" to him than Democrats.

Uygur joined TPUSA leader Charlie Kirk on stage in Phoenix, Arizona at the organization's annual AmericaFest 2024 conference. Footage from the event shows the progressive media pundit receiving a standing ovation.

During his on-stage interview with Kirk, Uygur noted that Republicans do "a great job of coalescing" and are more "welcoming" to other political groups than Democrats. Uygur has criticized Democratic leaders, including Kamala Harris, following Donald Trump's victory in the November election for not reaching out to independent voters with a populist message.

He also encouraged Democrats to "unify" and stop attacking "one another." Uygur then said older Democratic voters need to stop watching cable news because "they're trying to get you to vote for corruption."
