'They Can't Define A Woman': Bill Maher Says Democrats ‘Opened The Door’ With ‘Crazy’ Cultural Issues
2026-08-23
[ZERO] Bill Maher says Democrats are still paying a political price for cultural positions that leave voters thinking the party has "lost their minds."

The 'Real Time' host argued that Republicans have benefited from Democrats continuing to focus on cultural issues where, in his telling, much of the country believes the party has gone off the rails.

He contrasted Democratic messaging about corruption, inflation and healthcare with the sort of cultural arguments that can cut through everything else, joking that voters instead hear that Democrats "want to get rid of Thanksgiving."

Then Maher got to the issue he clearly believes remains politically toxic: "They can't define a woman, and they think the WNBA should be full of men, and just crazy stuff."

"And so they kind of opened the door for that," he added.

Polling cited by Vigilant Fox underscores the problem... A New York Times/Ipsos survey found that 79% of Americans said transgender female athletes should not be allowed to compete in women's sports.

The opposition crossed party lines, including 94% of Republicans and 67% of Democrats.
