“@BoarOnTheFl00r I go after Trump non-stop. He’s the one who started this dumb war, he’s the one that is serving Israel First. I go after every warmongering Republican like Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin, Ted Cruz, etc. I agree with Massie and Tucker about the war and Israel - because they’re right.”

How They Deceive You
Propaganda

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks pushes left-wing critiques of Israel, US foreign policy, and Republicans while aligning with anti-war figures like Massie and Tucker.
Cenk's tweet straight-up fabricates that Trump "started this dumb war"—that's the big lie at the heart of it, designed to smear Trump and dodge any accountability for Hamas. The current Israel-Hamas war blew up on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a brutal attack on Israel, slaughtering about 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages. Trump had been out of office for nearly three years by then—he left in January 2021. Zero evidence he "started" it; that's just partisan fiction to paint him as the ultimate warmonger. He tries to play both sides by bragging he goes after Trump "non-stop" and calls Republicans like Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin, and Ted Cruz "warmongering," then name-drops Massie and Tucker as his anti-war allies for fake credibility. But it's all a smokescreen—Cenk's from The Young Turks, a progressive outfit that's consistently anti-Israel, and this lets him bash "Israel First" Trump while erasing Hamas's role entirely. No mention of their massacre, no nod to Trump's actual record like the Abraham Accords that normalized ties between Israel and UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan, actually cooling regional tensions and sidelining Iran-backed groups like Hamas. This is classic manipulation: blame America/Trump/Israel for everything, absolve the terrorists, and wrap it in "bipartisan" agreement to hook the outraged. Don't buy it—it's a lie built to fuel hate, not facts.
