Donna Brazile lets her racism slip and Bill Maher can’t help but notice

November 19, 2023 | | Print Article

Just like the party was back in the bad old days of Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan today’s Democrats are racist to the core, and in a glaring example of hypocrisy political pundit Donna Brazile deliberately mispronounced the name of a Republican presidential candidate, earning a scolding from Bill Maher.

The exchange between the former DNC boss and the liberal comic took place on the latest edition of HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher” where the host welcomed Brazile and whiny former GOP congressman Adam Kinzinger who engaged on a range of topics, including next year’s presidential election.

Sporting a garish new pink hairdo, the ABC News talking head showed that it’s not only whites and Jews that Democrats hold in contempt, but Asians as well, particularly Vivek Ramaswamy, the dynamic young Indian-American political newcomer whose tendency to call it like he sees it has grated on the nerves of establishment types on both sides of the aisle.

“Vivek just needs to shut the hell up and go home. I’m tired of him,” she complained, drawing a correction from the host over her disrespectful treatment of his first name.

“It’s Vivek,” Maher said, reminding her of the correct pronunciation, “Not that I have any…”

” Well, whatever,” huffed the Democrat apparatchik.

“Whatever?” Maher shot back. “Would you say that about other ethnic…”

Brazile continued to mock Ramaswamy’s name, “I’m Donna. Is it Vivek Ramaswama? Ramaswamy?”

“Ramaswamy,” Maher corrected his guest.

“Thank you so much, I learn so much when I come on this show…Vivek? Vivek needs to go home,” she responded.

“I agree. I just feel like there’s something wrong with everybody refusing to learn to say his name. I just feel there’s a little racism there,” Maher stated, suggesting that Democrats don’t practice what they preach when it comes to race. “I know we don’t like him but just say his name right,” he added.

During the show, Maher also shot down Brazile’s denial of the reality that voters have very serious reservations about the geriatric President Joe Biden’s advanced age, a problem that is only exacerbated by his endless senior moments, tendency to fall down and old man gaffes that become international indicents, like when he referred to Chinese President Xi Jinpeng as a “dictator” this week shortly after meeting with his communist counterpart at the APEC summit.

“You know, everyone ages differently,” she said, defending the bumbling octogenarian by likening him to other famous elders. “You know so, Betty White lived to be 99. Mick Jagger is still twisting his ass.”

“I have been the one making that case year after year here against ageism,” Maher replied. “I always said it’s a case by case basis but..”

Brazile interrupted, “It’s a case by case.”

Maher shot her down. “But for that argument to have teeth at all, you also have to be the person who can go, Yeah, but this is the case. And I’ve said it before. Do I think Joe Biden can do the job? Absolutely. I don’t think he can win the job. And that’s what I care about. He’s going to lose. Because the people think he’s too old. And perception is reality. I’m sorry.”
