“Real Time” host Bill Maher on Friday got into a heated on-air spat with former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who was presenting his theory about Maher’s gripes with the Democratic Party and the “fringe garbage” concerns of its leftmost wing.
The duo was discussing this week’s various elections, where Democrats won key races across the country. They were notably expressing mutual disapproval of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and democratic socialism.
Then the bickering began.
“You’re disenchanted with the far-left wing of the Democratic Party,” O’Reilly told Maher.
The HBO host has repeatedly maintained as much on his show over the years, and agreed with O’Reilly’s stance that leftists have supposedly “poisoned the well for everybody else.” Maher claimed they’ve “never met anything that was counterintuitive that they didn’t love.”
