Bill Maher Draws Audible Gasps From Audience When He Reads DSA’s Own Words
dailycaller ^ | Aug 2 | Mark Tanos

Posted on 08/02/2026 10:15:16 AM PDT by RandFan

Bill Maher told his audience that the Democratic Party is being taken over by communists, and the crowd’s stunned reaction proved his point.

The HBO host used the closing segment of Friday’s “Real Time” to argue that the Democratic Socialists of America have embraced communism openly, according to a clip Maher released on X. Maher said that when President Donald Trump labels the group communist, the description holds up. “Donald Trump has told one trillion lies, but when he says the Democratic Socialists of America are actually communist, that’s not one of them,” Maher said in the clip.

Maher built his case by reading statements from DSA figures and candidates. He pointed to the DSA platform’s borrowing from Karl Marx and noted that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani once posted Marx’s words directly. Maher also cited a faction called the Marxist Unity Group, which he said now holds sway inside the organization and describes its aim as a classless society, “in a word, communism.”

The audience went silent when Maher recounted a social media post from Cea Weaver, a top Mamdani aide, urging voters to back communist candidates. “Yes. Good, I’m glad you’re shocked,” Maher said. “People got to realize this is going on.”

We consider him a liberal. Progressives consider him a conservative. There is no percentage in being a Menshevik. Eventually, the Mensheviks get eaten by the Bolsheviks.

Maher’s audience is stunned because the only “news” that the get is propaganda from NPR, CNN, and MSNOW, so they would have zero idea of what the DSA platform actually says ...

This was the best bit I’ve seen of Bill. I doubt he will finally get it though.

DemocRATs are detached from reality. It won’t sink in. They think the NAZIs were right wing.

Young people love socialism til they actually UNDERSTAND what it means, then they are not big fans of it anymore. They want to abolish prisons, so that means that mass murderers can go free..so does that mean Scott Peterson, Brian Kohlburger, Richard Allen Davis(I cant believe that prick is still alive!) Son of Sam, etc are all free men..gee if Jeffrey Dahmer were still alive he could have gotten out and been able to eat more people

COMMUNIST PARTY USA has never changed it’s position. The Democrats have simply moved into the Commie Camp.

> Young people love socialism til they actually UNDERSTAND what it means, then they are not big fans of it anymore. <

Old joke:

A Soviet commissar meets with a farmer.

Commissar: Under socialism, the rich must share their wealth.
Farmer: Socialism is good!

Commissar: Under socialism, large landlords must share their land.
Farmer: Socialism is good!

Commissar: Under socialism, farmers must share their crops.
Farmer: Socialism is bad.

The Dem strategy from now on will be:

I am a Democrat, I don’t have to follow everything in the DSA platform.

I actually disagree with some aspects of the DSA program. (CNN and MS Now panels can then belittle the Right about it.)

I’m a moderate Democrat-—and then like Spanberger and Slotkin, goes all out in a far left onslaught once elected.

It's mostly college students and foreigners (even though they were born in USA such as Hasan Piker - a well known "influencer").

What does DSA say out loud that the Democratic party does not favor in private?

Regardless, don’t give up your firearms; lock and load instead.

“Noo” Socialist Zohran Mamdani hits citizens with a double whammy—communist and muslim.

That’s what is “noo” about Mamdani and his comrades!
