We are always happy to highlight it when Bill Maher gets something right. In this case, he called Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, a straight up communist, and he’s right.
Maher zeroed in on many of the comments from Mamdani’s ‘housing czar’ Cea Weaver who has called private home ownership white supremacy.
Of course, in the process Maher had to unfairly criticize Trump and Republicans. For whatever reason, Maher just can’t let go of the belief that Trump is somehow trying to enrich himself through the presidency.
At least he got the part about Mamdani right.
FOX News reports:
Bill Maher calls Mamdani a ‘straight-up communist,’ warns Dems will ‘lose more elections’ if they deny it
Late-night host Bill Maher called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani a “straight up communist” and warned Democrats that they will “lose more elections” if they try to deny it.
On Friday’s episode of “Real Time,” Maher noted that “Democrats seem to be having this debate” over whether Mamdani is a socialist or a democratic socialist, and offered to end the debate for them once and for all.
“Let me settle it: He’s a straight-up communist,” he declared.
According to Maher, he knows this to be true by “reading between the lines” after one of the mayor’s advisors, Cea Weaver, said to “elect more communists.”
“Which is fine. It’s fine. It’s a belief system. He’s allowed to believe it, and people are allowed to vote for it,” Maher continued. “But if liberals deny it, like he’s just going through a goth phase, they’re going to lose more elections. This is not a communist country.”
“Really, the choices we get here are either the worst version of crony capitalism or communism, either a side deal for the Trump family every time he does business overseas, or the lady who says, ‘Impoverish the white middle class,’” he said. “Oh yeah, there’s a great campaign slogan for you.”

Mamdani is a communist, and so are many of the people around him. New York City is going to learn some valuable lessons in the coming years.
