Last night on his HBO show, Bill Maher blasted the Democrat Party for embracing antisemitism and basically becoming a party of Jew haters.
The rise of the DSA had a lot to do with this, along with the new strain of Islamism in the party, with candidates like Abdul El-Sayed and influencer Hasan Piker. Maher is not Jewish but he can see where this is going and he knows that it will only get worse if it’s not stopped.
In the clip, he is talking to CNN’s Dana Bash, who hilariously tries to paint James Talarico as a Christian man of faith. Maher points out that faith is fine for Democrats, as long as it’s not the Jewish faith.
FOX News reported:
Bill Maher blasts Democratic Party, says it is fine with religion ‘as long as that faith isn’t Jewish’
Comedian Bill Maher took aim at what he portrayed as the Democratic Party’s double standard on religion Friday, quipping that a candidate’s public faith is welcome “as long as that faith isn’t Jewish.”
The segment aired after CNN anchor Dana Bash discussed Texas Democrat James Talarico’s outspoken Christianity during a segment on “Real Time,” saying he “wears his faith on his sleeve” in a way Talarico believes could help him.
“Well, in the Democratic Party, as long as that faith isn’t Jewish, you’re good,” Maher retorted.
“Well, you said it.” Bash replied.
Maher then interjected, “Yeah, I said it because it’s true!”
Pew Research Center polling shows 80% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (80%) hold an unfavorable view of Israel, up sharply from 53% in 2022.

The Democrats cannot change this until they make it clear that the Jew haters are not welcome in their party.
It really doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time soon.
