Bill Maher Spars With Comic David Cross Over Zohran Mamdani: 'A Straight Up Communist!'

Bill Maher Spars With Comic David Cross Over Zohran Mamdani: ‘A Straight Up Communist!’
Sean James

Bill Maher got into it with comic David Cross on the latest episode of Club Random released on Monday while slamming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) for being “a straight up communist.”

“No he’s not! No he’s not, Bill!” Cross protested, while letting out a little laugh.

“He is,” Maher assured him.

The longtime Real Time host then explained why he believed Mamdani was a full blown communist, even if Mamdani prefers to refer to himself as a democratic socialist; that designation is what started the flap between Cross and Maher to begin with, after Cross said he was a democratic socialist too.
