Bill Maher told his audience that the Democratic Party is being taken over by communists, and the crowd\u2019s stunned reaction proved his point.<\/p>\n

The HBO host used the closing segment of Friday\u2019s \u201cReal Time\u201d 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. \u201cDonald Trump has told one trillion lies, but when he says the Democratic Socialists of America are actually communist, that\u2019s not one of them,\u201d Maher said in the clip.<\/p>\n

Maher built his case by reading statements from DSA figures and candidates. He pointed to the DSA platform\u2019s borrowing from Karl Marx and noted that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani once posted Marx\u2019s 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, \u201cin a word, communism.\u201d(RELATED: Bill Maher Tells JD Vance His \u2018Vote Is In Play\u2019 As Democratic Party Continues To Elect Socialists)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The audience went silent when Maher recounted a social media post from Cea Weaver, a top Mamdani aide, urging voters to back communist candidates. \u201cYes. Good, I\u2019m glad you\u2019re shocked,\u201d Maher said. \u201cPeople got to realize this is going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maher framed the shift as a hostile takeover of his own party. \u201cYou know what\u2019s being colonized now? The Democratic Party,\u201d he said. He referenced the \u201cPromise to America\u201d pledge, a centrist declaration stating \u201cWe are capitalist, not socialist,\u201d and claimed only eight lawmakers signed it. Reporting from Newsweek puts the count higher, at 10 House members plus five candidates, with Reps. Tom Suozzi and Adam Gray leading the effort.<\/p>\n

Maher first floated his shifting loyalty during a June exchange with Vice President JD Vance, later expanding on it in an interview with ABC\u2019s Jonathan Karl, The Washington Times reported. Former Florida prosecutor Dave Aronberg warned Fox News that the DSA\u2019s rise could erode Democratic support in November, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

Maher closed by saying he would sooner vote for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin than any DSA-aligned Democrat, calling her a \u201cbimbo\u201d who could still name something she admires about the country.<\/p>\n
