  • The conversation Podcast, led by a figure whose past includes denying the Armenian Genocide, stands as a stark reminder that hypocrisy can wear a progressive mask. Here’s the naked truth:

    Denial in Plain Sight: Cenk Uygur, the host, once penned words denying one of the darkest chapters in history, the Armenian Genocide. To deny such an event is not just ignorance; it's an act of historical vandalism. You can't claim to fight bigotry while dismissing the suffering of millions.
