Bill Maher's dire midterm election warning to Dems after 'really crazy' socialists win primaries

Three socialists, Darializa Avila Chevalier, New York State Assembywoman Claire Valdez and former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander all won Democratic primaries in New York City congressional districts last Tuesday.

In the wake of the socialist sweep, Maher was asked Sunday during an event in Washington, D.C. about comments he made claiming the 2026 midterms are the Democratic Party's to lose.

"I did say that, it was about two months ago, and you see how quickly the news changes in just two months, because that was before the Supreme Court made a ruling on voting rights," said Maher, referencing the April Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which said congressional districts in that state had been illegally racially gerrymandered.

"So, that has changed just in the last two months and then the Democrats just elected three very far-left democratic socialists in New York who are crazy - like outright really crazy - so like, how are they gonna blow it? I don't know but they seem to be well on their way."

"I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me," she said in yet another deleted post.

Avila Chevalier has called for the abolition of prisons and police and mocked black and Arab men for "fetishizing ugly colonizer women," referring to white women.

Valdez's socialist bona fides, on the other hand, include outwardly calling for the abolishment of ICE, which she described as a "fascist agency" and accused them of "terrorizing" the community and "kidnapping" people.

Lander, meanwhile, left the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in 2023 over their response to the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack that killed 1,200 Israeli concertgoers.

Still, he has also called for the abolition of ICE, the defunding of the NYPD and has spewed anti-white rhetoric, even intimating that he could be a white supremacist simply because of his skin color.

"I don't think that the congressional Democrats should seat her as a member of the Democratic Party. She actually describes herself as a democratic socialist," he said in an interview with Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany on "Saturday in America."

"I don't have anything in common with someone that says that they're against interracial dating or doesn't want to have any incarceration for convicted felons." 

"Anti-Israel. Anti-America. Anti-Western Civilization," he said on X. "Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?"
