What BBN said about it
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTonight's claim, per Fox News: comedian Bill Maher says Democrats still haven't "renounced their crazy," and that it could spell trouble in twenty twenty-eight.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFox also reports he warned the far left could misread midterm wins as backing communism. I have been to embassies with fewer warnings.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTo be clear, this is a comedian's opinion about a election two years away. It is a forecast, not a fact. Everyone has one.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOpinion about the future cannot be proven. But politics is the only business where predictions are made, forgotten, and rebooked by lunch.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBBN rates this claim: Medium Bonkers. A real quote, a real worry, and a crystal ball powered by cable news.
