Bill Maher Eviscerates Democrats: ‘Whiteness’ Is ‘Not a Disease’

Bill Maher eviscerated Democrats by declaring that “whiteness” is “not a disease on Real Time With Bill Maher.

On the Friday, August 7 episode of his HBO show, the late-night host, 70, took aim at Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong. He called out the Democratic Socialist, who has a mixed-race child, for her remarks about her “proximity to whiteness.”

“Look at this Francesca Hong. I mentioned it in the monologue, what she said about whiteness and toxicity,” Maher said. “She described her son. Now, she has an ex-husband who is white, OK, she’s Asian. She described it as wrestling with — this is her own son — being in ‘proximity to whiteness.'”

Maher then pointed out, “Of all the things I think the Democrats have to lose, number one: Whiteness, it’s not a disease… This has got to go, I think. I think this is their big flaw.”

In 2021, Hong said during an interview, “My proximity to whiteness continues, right? My son is biracial. He is half white and half Korean. And I think navigating, you know, what his identity is and how people perceive him is always at the back of my mind.”
