The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur blasted Democrat Senator John Fetterman regarding his recent statements about Harvard University and his position on Israel. Uygur labeled Fetterman a 'fraud' and accused him of adopting Republican-like stances.

Uygur's remarks came in response to an interview with Senator Fetterman published on Friday by Semafor. In the interview, the Pennsylvania senator acknowledged that he did not identify as a 'progressive' and voiced criticism of his alma mater following the departure of former Harvard University President Claudine Gay.

“As an alum of Harvard — look, I graduated 25 years ago, and of course it was always a little pinko. But now, I don’t recognize it,” Fetterman said of Harvard.

In the same interview, he informed Senator David Weigel that he anticipated an increase in Democratic members of Congress advocating for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.

“More and more of my colleagues are calling for it. It’s so strange. Why aren’t you calling for Hamas to surrender? If Hamas surrendered, and turned over their guns, all the killing and all the misery would [end],” he said.

Uygur took issue with Fetterman’s remarks, posting on X to voice his objection.
