Bill Maher Demolishes the Dems' Extremism, Points Out a Huge Issue That May Sink Them

Bill Maher was in good form on Friday. He wasn't holding back, letting the Democrats have it for their unhinged ways as he spoke with New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters and CNN's Dana Bash on his HBO show, Real Time.

Peters observed the Democrats hadn't been in tune with what their voters really cared about. Maher said they "harp[ed] on cultural issues where the country thought they had lost their minds." 

Maher nailed how the voters viewed the Democrats as nuts. 

"The other people are saying, 'Yeah, but they want to get rid of Thanksgiving.' We like Thanksgiving...And then they can’t define a woman, and they think the WNBA should be full of men, and just crazy stuff. And so they kind of opened the door for that.”

Democrats keep showing how extreme they are, and Americans just reject it. 

Then Maher really hit them on one of their big problems: how some in their party have a problem with Jewish people. He said, "Well, in the Democratic Party, as long as that faith isn't Jewish, you're good." 

Bash squirmed, but acknowledged, "Well, you said it." 

"I said it cause it's true," he replied. 

Maher wasn't done yet. He hit that further, mentioning Sen. Jon Ossoff  (D-GA), as well as the Left's understanding of the term "genocide." 

Warning for graphic language: 

He pointed out how they need to talk about it "because that is the situation in the Democratic Party," noting how  Ossoff was Jewish. 

"They think Gaza is a genocide. It is not. There’s an actual meaning to the word genocide. It doesn’t come close...And they've all just signed on to this because they’re just big on buzzwords and lawn signs and bumper stickers. That’s as deep as they go.”

He brought up how some on the Left went after CA state Senator Scott Weiner, who is a candidate to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), surrounded him, and harassed him, to get him to call the situation in Gaza a genocide. Their screaming was manic, and they even told him he stopped being queer if he failed to support Gaza. 

Wiener had actually already caved before being harassed and used the term. But apparently that wasn't enough for the radicals. Maher was right on in saying "the Democrats are cowards.".

Bash noted the only country in the Middle East with gay rights was Israel. Maher replied that's why the "Queers for Palestime" were "out of their mind." 

This kind of extremism is looming large as the midterms approach because it may be a big factor. We're already seeing Democrats who are voting for Republican Mike Rogers for Senate in Michigan, rather than the Democrat candidate, Abdul El-Sayed. That difference in votes could tell the tale in a close race. 

But more than the midterms, it's a problem that the Democrats know is there, but they aren't condemning or calling it out as they should, as Maher does here. That shows how wrong they are at their very base because all they care about is whether these people will help bring them votes so they can grab back power.
