    Leftist host Cenk Uygur slammed Democrats and members of the legacy media for attacking Latinos over their huge support of President-elect Donald Trump, which helped his landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

    In several posts on Wednesday on X, the "Young Turks" host blew up on the Democratic Party and "the very dumb people on TV" who blamed "Latino men for Kamala Harris's loss."

    "They're saying Latino men are too sexist to vote for a woman," Uygur said. "Then how come Latino men voted for Hillary Clinton by 31 points? And if Latinos are so sexist, how come the president of Mexico is a woman?!"

    "The Democrats on TV who are calling Latino men sexist for voting for Trump are the dumbest people in the world," he added. "This is punching yourself in the face for the next election. Do you think they're going to vote for you after you smear them like this? They didn't cost you the election, you're beloved Democratic establishment did."

    "How about you deliver for them next time instead of just insulting them?" the host continued. "And how about you ask more of your candidates rather than blaming the voters? This is exactly why you lost."

    Uygur made headlines right before the election when he was one of many on the Left who debunked Harris' campaign lie that Trump called for her surrogate former Rep. Liz Cheney to be executed.

    During an interview, Trump labeled Cheney a "radical war hawk" and suggested if she was armed on the battlefield with "nine barrels shooting at her," where the "guns are trained on her face," she wouldn't be so fast to send tens of thousands of our troops "right in the mouth of the enemy."

    Cheney released a statement labeling Trump a "petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant," and said "this is how dictators destroy free nations."

    Uygur took to X and said that the media's response is a "bald-faced lie."

    "Donald Trump did not call for the execution of Liz Cheney," Uygur wrote. "He was making a point about how she is a chickenhawk...This is a classic case of Trump saying something outrageous and the press bailing him out by being purposely misleading."

    "You didn't have to lie about it for the comment to be totally irresponsible," he added. "And when you do, you lose all credibility and no one believes anything you say."
