'AOC says gender is fluid - but so are Latino voters': Bill Maher says Democrats are trying to lose the abortion debate by using woke phrases like 'birthing people' and are driving voters to Republicans

Bill Maher blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive ilk for losing the debate on abortion thanks to the use of woke slang including 'pregnant people.'

Speaking on his show Real Time with Bill Maher Friday - hours after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade - Maher told viewers that abortion is a 'difficult issue for the Democrats to lose on, but they're trying.

He also warned that the party could no longer blithely count on traditional support from minority groups, warning that Latin-Americans' voting-preference was just as 'fluid' as AOC claims gender is.

'For decades, liberals have said, 'If only men could get pregnant, this wouldn't even be an issue,' and 'abortion rights are women's rights.' Well, that's wrong now.

'When the wokey end of the progressive spectrum talks about abortion now, they shy away from the word 'women' and prefer terms like 'birthing people' or 'people who menstruate' because somewhere there's a trans man who's pregnant and I say good for him - and I'll be looking for his story somewhere in a future issue of Ripley's Believe it or Not.'

'Oh Democrats, let's take the first f****** word a human animal understands: 'mama' - and replace it with something bet understood by four Trotskyites at Berkeley,' he continued, referring to hard-left students at the august California college.

Maher claimed in the monologue that many different groups are using the Democratic Party as their own personal lawmakers, and as a result the party is having to focus on too many different clients.

He noted that Democrats recently lost a special election in a majority Hispanic neighborhood in Texas for the first time in over 150 years.

Thanks to a couple of first generation Hispanics, I know what “puta” means.

And you’re right. She is one.

Re: "Democrats cannot blithely count on traditional support from minority groups..."

I will believe that AFTER it is confirmed by hard data results from the November 2022 mid-term.

In my opinion, less than 10% of Democrat minority voters will seriously think about staying home or flipping their votes to Republicans.

I think the GOP can win small House and Senate majorities, but it will be very close, and we will still need the RINOs to get us across the finish line.

Just as surely as South Carolina was foolish enough to re-elect Flimsey Grahamnesty.

No, he obviously cheated to steal the election.

Those counting the votes certainly will

Lose suburban moms because they are brainwashed by the abortion cult but reach out to hispanics who are turned off by latinx labeling (and the socialist issues of the Democratic Party).

Alexandria Cortez like all the rest of democrats it’s all about sex screw everybody and often kill the baby to get rid of the evidence.

Sorry about my text, I was being obtuse. I was making a reference to Airplane! AOC reminds me of the naive stewardess asking if anyone speaks jive.

I understood the joke and liked it. I was trying to joke in return that Jive died in the 1980’s, and is replaced by Woke, which is even harder to understand because it makes no sense!
