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.”
