Surprise candidate challenges Biden in Democrat 2024 primary

American Military News by Timothy Frudd 10/12/2023

Cenk Uygur, the founder of The Young Turks and a progressive commentator, announced his intent to run for the U.S. presidency against incumbent President Joe Biden despite not being eligible by law.

Uygur, an immigrant from Turkey, fervently believes that the “natural born citizen” clause in the U.S. Constitution will not stand in his way for the 2024 Democratic Party nomination, according to The Daily Wire.

During a conversation with Semafor, Uygur confidently predicted a “slam dunk” win if the debate over his eligibility reached the U.S. Supreme Court. “I’m tired of 25 million Americans having this albatross around their neck,” he passionately remarked, suggesting that the legal challenge was one of the motivations for his decision to run for president.

Uygur made a previous bid for political office in 2020, running for a U.S. House seat left open by former Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.). While eligibility for congressional positions differs from the presidency, Uygur’s current campaign has sparked significant debate.

What a insight into how the left sees the Constitution.  While there has been debate over the precise meaning of "natural born citizen", nobody has disputed that at a minimum, it requires that the individual be a citizen at birth.

But this clown apparently believes the plain language of the Constitution can be tossed by solely upon an argument that it is unfair.  In other words, the Constitution itself is unconstitutional.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
