David Rubin from the "Rubin Report" Explains : "Why I Left the Left"

YouTube star Dave Rubin, host of “The Rubin Report,” once called himself a “progressive.” He’s a gay married man living in California, and he was even once part of the leftist online network of The Young Turks. Just hearing these simple facts about him may cause you to reach some immediate conclusions about his beliefs and character.



However, Rubin might surprise you. Over his career as a talk show host, hearing many different sides of the argument, asking the hard questions and witnessing events unfold from college campuses to activist marches, Rubin has reached a simple conclusion: He can no longer call himself a “progressive.”



In fact, his journey has taken him in the opposite direction, and now he sits as one of the progressive left’s most notable detractors. He even has taken to pointing out the ridiculousness of his former colleagues, such as The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur.
