How the fuck is Hasan Piker related to this demon?

I am so happy to have completely missed out on whatever this guy is or does.
He runs The Young Turks, one of the largest American political shows online. It's always presented itself as vaguely social democratic but Cenk and Jimmy Dore both came out of it to become right-wing democrats. I'd continue not knowing because it's a shitty show.
He was also a conservative before becoming a liberal/socdem. He wrote really sexist blog posts in the past. Like this one where he complains that women's genes are flawed for not wanting to have sex with him: https://web.archive.org/web/20020607165341/http://www.youngturk.com:80/newpage41.htm
This is reads like brilliant satire
You’re telling me this is an earnest post?
Yeah this is 100% sincere. He has since apologised for it and accepted that what he wrote was abhorrent but yeah this is what he was like at one point whatever you make of it.
To be clear Cenk is something like the right wing of the Bernie Sanders crowd, and kind of a dumbass, while Dore is a full on grifter right winger at this point
Personaly I prefer to think his only actual relevance is being part of the launching platform for Hasan(Cenk is his uncle?), he is pretty much irrelevant otherwise so far. Maybe if Bernie had pushed the election TYT would have been a bit more relevant but nah.
He's running for president, but he's more of a running joke.
