‘I never was a Democrat to begin with’

Liberal comedian Bill Maher, who has long espoused his left-leaning beliefs, dropped a bombshell about his relationship with the Democratic Party.

It’s been assumed that Maher was affiliated with the Democrats, given his liberal bent and support for the party’s candidates and congressmembers. On a recent episode of his “Club Random” podcast, however, he revealed that he has “never a Democrat to begin with.”

“I never was a Democrat to begin with,” Maher said to his guest, actor Esai Morales. “I always, like, caucus with the Democrats and I generally vote for them.

“We’re approaching that because they are getting crazier,” the liberal said of the Democrats. “And that’s a lot of what you’re referencing. But I never said I left the party ’cause I wasn’t there to begin with.”

X users weighed in on the revelation:

That’s nice and all, but they haven’t “gotten crazy .” They’ve been this way for over a decade. He’s just now seeing it is all.

He may want to consider why the Republicans are scary to him. There are some that intentionally scare the American people, and a lot of them aren’t Republicans.

He ‘always does this, or he always does that’ as per one side? BM is having a very hard time detaching & deprogramming himself from a cult.
