Maher: Let Me Settle It, Mamdani ‘Is a Straight up Communist’

TRANSCRIPT:

MAHER: "Democrats seem to be having this debate whether or not mayor Mayor Mamdani is a socialist or a Democratic Socialist. Let me settle it: he’s a straight up communist. 
(Applause)
How do I know this? Well, I’m reading between the lines: When one of those major adviser says, 'Elect more communists.'
(Laughter and Applause)
Which is fine, it’s fine. It’s a belief system. He’s allowed to believe it and people are allowed to vote for it. But if liberals deny it, like he’s just going through a goth phase, they’re going to lose more elections. This is not a communist country. And this is the pendulum neverlands in the middle problem I’m always bitching about. Really, the choices we get here are either the worst version of crony capitalism or communism. Either a side deal for the Trump family every time he does business overseas, or the lady who says 'Impoverish the white middle class.' Oh yeah, there’s a great campaign slogan for you. Honestly, as New York mayoral races go, I was less creeped out by Anthony Wiener's dick."
