Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher admitted on Friday that his vote would
be “in play” in coming elections if the Democratic Party continued its headlong gallop toward socialism.

Maher spoke with Vice President JD Vance on Friday’s broadcast of “Real
Time,” and the discussion turned to the recent wins — particularly in
places like New York City — racked up by fringe Left candidates
endorsed by Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

“Like, if this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this
Democratic socialist — this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating,
they don’t believe in capitalism, no prisons…” “If this is where
they’re going, my vote is in play,” Maher declared.

“Okay, I like to hear that,” Vance replied.

“It actually always has been,” Maher continued. “I just, every year, I
don’t make my decision by who has an R or a D, I actually always came
to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better and voted for
them. And Trump can’t run again and he’d be a little too exciting for
me anyway. So it’s either going to be you or Rubio.”

Maher underscored his point by jabbing at one of the Mamdani-backed
Democratic socialist candidates who recently won her primary in New
York — Darializa Avila Chevalier.

“There’s one candidate, she will be a congressperson from New York’s
13th District, who the New York Times asked her if someone murders
someone randomly should they go to jail? Couldn’t get her to say yes to
that,” Maher said. “She says, no more police ever at all. Ever. She
says our veterans are war criminals. She said f*ck Kamala Harris and
Joe Biden’s a rapist.”

“So there is a woke mind virus, and I think we found patient zero,”
Maher concluded.

And Maher is far from the only Democrat in the public eye raising
concerns about the rapid influx from the party’s fringes: “The View”
host Sara Haines raised the same issue during a recent “Behind the
Table” podcast with executive producer Brian Teta and cohost Alyssa
Farah Griffin.

“For the Republicans, this is a GIFT! … We’re writing the

“For the Republicans, this is a gift,” she said, arguing that
Republicans would use the most radical positions taken by the
Democratic socialists and paint all Democrats with the same broad
brush.

“We’re writing the commercials pretty much for the GOP. The Democrats
are literally just teeing up exactly how every Democrat is gonna be
framed!” she said.
