US EditionBill Maher issues warning about "serious problem" for Democrats
- Bill Maher, host of HBO's Real Time, warned on a May 2025 episode that the Democratic Party faces a serious problem with its younger members.
- He attributed this issue to young Democrats' lack of pride in America and support for pro-Palestinian activism, including backing Hamas and anti-Israel demonstrations.
- Maher cited a Harvard poll showing only 24% of Democrats aged 18-29 feel proud to be American, while 54% expressed embarrassment, and highlighted incidents like a Palestinian flag draped over an American flag at a Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez rally.
- He warned that if influential figures within the Democratic Party continue to support without condemning the belief that America is embarrassing and those governing Gaza are admirable, the party faces serious trouble, also expressing concern that sympathizing with terrorists seems to have become increasingly common.
- Maher's warning suggests that if Democrats do not address these ideological shifts and reclaim patriotic values, they risk losing mainstream support and enduring political decline.
