Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “People want to hear from Andy Beshear, Mamdani, Pete Buttigieg. There are a lot of great people in the next generation.” Bill Maher: “So you think Mamdani is a great one, huh?” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “I do. I mean, did you see his Knicks speech?” Bill Maher: “Not the issue that most concerned me.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “It’s worth a watch. Because the speech was not just about the Knicks. First of all, he like recites every Knicks player. I couldn’t do that…” Bill Maher: “Who gives a sh*t about the Knicks?! He’s the mayor of New York!” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “Well, yeah, but he talks about how it’s actually bringing people together. Trump voters, Mamdani voters, how it’s overcoming the odds. And he took a speech that was just about celebrating the championship, and he made something bigger about it.” Bill Maher: “Well, it doesn’t make me forget that his wife loved the October 7th attack on Israel and that he pals around with terrorists.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “No, come on. Have you had him on the show?” Bill Maher: “We ask people like that, Ro. They never come.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “I’ll talk to him. I think he should come.” Bill Maher: “I would love that.”

WOW: CNN's *Democratic* panel is DEMOLISHING WI Gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong for her strange flip-flop on hating Thanksgiving. Even Dems can see how DERANGED DSA candidates are. "She's not a very strong candidate. There's sort of a wacky approach I think that she takes to this. You know, she's sort of a caricature of wokeism. And I think Democrats are hysterical in Wisconsin about the prospect of her winning."

Bill Maher does a full minute-and-a-half set openly mocking Democrat Socialist candidate for governor Francesca Hong. Maher made an absolute fool out of the “Debbie Downer” for trying to cancel Thanksgiving and other American holidays. His audience was loving every second of the ROAST. MAHER: “Democrats found a candidate who hates Thanksgiving and wants to get rid of it.” “Yes… running for governor in Wisconsin, Francesca Hong. Have you heard about this?” “Yeah. Thanksgiving, she says, should be canceled.” “And I say, good! Finally a politician willing to stand up to big stuffing!” [Audience cracks up] “Got to love the Democrats. Surprisingly, Debbie Downer’s policy about Thanksgiving is not popular… with anybody, really.” “I mean, White people don’t like it, people of color don’t like it, women don’t like it, men don’t like it… it does have 98% approval with turkey.” [Laughter and applause] “But of course… she said on her tweet a couple years ago she’d get rid of Thanksgiving.” “Of course, yesterday she went on CNN, renounced it.” “I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!” “I don’t believe you people who renounce things. We know what you said, you mean it, live by it.”

Bill Maher on California: “The progressive lavatory… we do need to have to call them out when they fail… I mean it’s not good. We constantly take more money from the people and get less results. Is that not true? Isn’t that what one party rule has given us in this state?” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “Look it’s a mixed bag.” Bill Maher: *Laughs*

BILL MAHER: “Good news for the Democrats. The crazy lady in Wisconsin who hates Thanksgiving lost!" "Remember Francesca Hong? She was ahead by 20 points, but then we found out about Thanksgiving. Doesn’t like Thanksgiving." “Also hates Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, the 4th of July." "It’s actually a good thing she lost for everybody, considering how much she enjoys celebrating." "She took it well. She said she just wants to spend more time with her husband, the Grinch.” 🤣 Francesca Hong really was a double-digit favorite to win the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, then everyone discovered her positions on holidays. When you attack Thanksgiving and Christmas, even liberals think you've gone too far.

Wow, Ro Khanna Rep. Ro Khanna appeared on Hasan Piker hasanabi’s show to apologize for not being woke enough. Khanna also essentially stated that October 7th made him more Palestinian, saying: “Yes, I do feel a moral complicity and some moral guilt. You know, one of the reasons I want to share my own evolution is that we need that kind of evolution in America. I voted for a lot of the aid before October 7th. I voted for those bills. And the irony that they’re taking the money I voted for to detain me.” Khanna went on to say: “But I was not initially before October 7th an activist on the Palestinian issue.” In April, we questioned Khanna on why he went on Piker’s show despite Piker’s claims that America deserved 9/11. It looks like we will be questioning Ro Khanna again soon.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) says Kamala Harris "certainly would have won Michigan if there was more of a reckoning with the failures of policy on Gaza," and that he was hearing this from people on the ground. "Beyond Michigan, this really was a concern for a lot of young people and a lot of progressives," he says.

Bill Maher ERUPTS on Francesca Hong’s claim that she never wanted to cancel Thanksgiving. “I DON’T BELIEVE YOU! ... You meant it... she hates all holidays.” Then he dropped the receipts: “Democrats have found a candidate who hates Thanksgiving and wants to get rid of it. Yes. Running for governor in Wisconsin, Francesca Hong. Have you heard about this? Yeah. Thanksgiving, she says, 'should be canceled.'” “Of course, yesterday she went on CNN, renounced it. I DON’T BELIEVE YOU! ... We know what you said. You mean it... You know why I know she meant it? Because she hates all holidays." "She talked about feeling attacked on Christmas when someone put on her computer a Christmas scene. “Doesn’t like fireworks, Fourth of July.” “Halloween, all the far lefties hate Halloween (cultural appropriation).” “This woman doesn’t like Valentine’s Day... She said, ‘Valentine’s Day, the holiday that brings out the worst of humanity.’” [Mahers face drops] “That’s the holiday that brings out the worst of humanity?! Have you ever been to a Black Friday sale?” Here's Hong's deleted Thanksgiving tweet that she says she doesn't mean anymore: “Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621. If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed indigenous folx and women, so be it.” Do you believe her?

Ahead of Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Wisconsin, Democratic socialist Francesca Hong tells CBS News’ Taurean Small she’s “not going to cancel Thanksgiving.” The comment comes after Hong faced criticism for a 2020 social media post, since deleted, in which she called for scrapping the holiday, saying it celebrated colonialism and the deaths of Indigenous people. Hong says she now wants to shift the focus of her campaign to her policy agenda. Hong says that includes fully funding public schools, taxing the ultra-rich, placing a moratorium on data centers, expanding universal child care and guaranteeing paid leave. Hong and more moderate David Crowley are vying for the Democratic nomination for governor after two other candidates dropped out. President Trump’s ally, Rep. Tom Tiffany, is all but certain to win the Republican nomination.
