Bill Maher says ‘r——d’ Democrats blew 2024 election with woke issues: ‘Stop screaming at people’
SUMMARY
Comedian Bill Maher delivered a scathing critique of the Democratic Party following their 2024 election loss to President-elect Donald Trump, blaming their focus on “woke” issues for alienating voters. Speaking on Real Time with Bill Maher, he declared, “Democrats have become like a royal family that, because of so much incest, has unfortunately had children who are retarded.” The remark drew laughter and applause from the audience. Maher specifically criticized the party’s preoccupation with issues like transgender athletes competing in women’s sports, which he believes are far removed from voters’ priorities. “Stop screaming at people to get with the program and instead make a program worth getting with,” he advised. He also pointed to polling data, noting that Hispanic Americans are more supportive of border security than progressive whites, and Black Americans prioritize practical concerns like jobs and safety over racial grievance narratives.
