A former producer for The Young Turks, who is transgender, said Tuesday he left the show over the hosts’ alleged transphobia.
Bennie Carollo, a former producer for the network, released a video on his Youtube channel explaining his decision to part ways with the company. Carollo, a transgender person who identifies as female, said The Young Turks hosts Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur became unbearably transphobic in recent months.
Carollo said the pair have pivoted into a “right-wing grift.” (RELATED TO: ‘The Young Turks’ Star Ana Kasparian Admits She Would’ve Done The Same Thing As Kyle Rittenhouse)
