Argentina Elects Trumpian Right-Winger Javier Milei As President

Javier Milei is known as a radical newcomer and wants to abolish abortion and reduce welfare payments. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

"Argentines have elected far-right outsider Javier Milei, 53, as their new president.

With almost all votes counted, Mr Milei had won close to 56% in the decisive run-off, ahead of his left-wing rival, Sergio Massa, with 44%.

The radical newcomer's victory has been described as "a political earthquake".

It has been welcomed by like-minded politicians such as US ex-President Donald Trump, who said Mr Milei would "Make Argentina Great Again"."

"Lacks government experience" means he's not a corrupted stooge. As a libertarian, I applaud this man!

[martinmarcos]

Dear Young Turks, maybe it´s about time you go AFUERA!

[ivandinesenjensen]

hes libertarian not right winger and we love him in argentina is such a good person

[ianho-sing-loy]

If this is the best TYT can smear Javier, I am optimistic for freedom. Afuera ministerios!

[paulwooton]

Doing away with the ministry of tourism doesn't mean doing away with tourists. If he improves his country, tourism will grow. Tourists don't need a "minister".

[tomasroseropanesso]

Guys you know Milei is libertarian, he wants to end all hand outs

[BorisBadenough]

Is shameful how the media understands how politics works in Latin America ... Arriba Javier Milei!

[danielagalarte]

Im Argentinian, there is a lot of misinformation here. I recommend doing research getting reliable info from unbiased sources

[alejandrofrade]

You mean that the same old politics and corruption didn't work, and the people chose someone different?

No way!!!?

[Mikemoto]

He’s a breath of fresh air. Hopefully all of Latin America follows Argentina’s lead.

[fjm]

Argentinian here. This video is full of bull crap.

[Nya-neih]

God, it's because of journalists like these that they make the journalistic career seem like a career for idiots. They don't even take the job seriously enough to investigate well before opening their mouths because almost all of them are lies or information taken out of context.

[cuzcohusky]

Argentina 🇦🇷 is a good example of socialism is a bad idea of government

[norbertosanmartin]

Milei is NOT anti stablishment.
He is a strong supporter of 1853 Argentinian Constitution inspired in USA Constitution.
He is an admiror of Juan B. Alberdi and 1880 generation of politicians who made Argentina BPI higher than USA BPI.
Stop repeating missinformation.

[deansusec]

The beginning of a new era for Argentina, hopefully the world

[hollywoodpotato]

Far right= normal, sane, level headed, thinking critically

[nickca]

I’m so happy for the people of Argentina 🇦🇷

[arunjkz]

How disingenuous of you Cenk!

“Lula won easily” - Lula won by a cat’s whisker against incumbent Bolsonaro.

“Left wing populism is not allowed” - Left wing populism is what got Argentina here.

Just two examples. You’re coping hard.

[norbertosanmartin]

Stop repeating nonsense. Milei IS NOT right-winger. Is JUST ULTRA-LIBERTARIAN. What is not left nor right.

We LOVE ❤️ JAVIER MAN...
HE IS NOT "LOCO"
HE IS A GENIUS 💪💪💪
