Bill Maher gets testy with a liberal guest who calls a Mamdani win in New York a “good thing.”
Kate Bedingfield really tried her best to defend Mamdani, but Maher got a round of applause when he pressed her with this inconvenient fact:
BEDINGFIELD: “I think that if Mamdani wins … I think that’s a good thing for the Democrats.”
MAHER: “Well, you make it sound like he’s a little more mainstream than I think he is. I mean, the issue now that Andrew Cuomo is bringing up in New York is that he is a Ugandan citizen. Uganda’s a country where they kill homosexuals.”
BEDINGFIELD: “So somebody who is a dual citizen can’t be mayor of New York or?”
MAHER: “If I was a dual citizen with a country whose policy, government policy, was we kill homosexuals. Yeah, I would renounce that citizenship!”
(Round of applause)
BEDINGFIELD: “I think that is buying into a fear framework that is not good for the country.”
MAHER: “You shouldn’t be afraid of that?”
Bedingfield pushed the narrative that Cuomo was “race-baiting” and “suggesting that Mamdani couldn’t be a leader in a terror situation if he were mayor of New York and God forbid something else like 9/11 happened.” That angle didn’t work either.
Maher replied: “Well, he did campaign with the terrorists… He campaigned this week with a guy who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and served as a character witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the terrorist who organized it.”
“So Sarah Palin used to say Obama palled around with terrorists, which was bullsh*t. But…” Maher said with a long pause, hinting that it’s not a bullsh*t claim in the case of Mamdani.
“I just don’t know if this is a great look for the party. I really don’t.”

And most don’t even know they have it.
Here’s how you can fix it before it’s too late:
Bill Maher:
“Israel is the Jews’ homeland and Jews have always lived there. You can look it up. It’s in this book called the Bible. Calling Jews colonizers is like calling Native Americans colonizers here. It’s ridiculous.”
