Bill Maher<\/a> tore into Darializa Avila Chevalier \u2014 the socialist backed by New York City Mayor\u00a0Zohran Mamdani<\/a> \u2014 on Friday after Chevalier won the Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District and drew scrutiny for her answers on prisons, deportation and past anti-American posts on social media.<\/p>\n

Maher opened “Real Time with Bill Maher” with a monologue about Avila Chevalier’s refusal to directly say whether a convicted murderer should be incarcerated during a New York Editorial Board interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The New York Times asked her, \u2018If someone murders someone randomly, should they go to jail?\u2019 Couldn\u2019t get her to say yes for that,” Maher said. “So, there is a woke mind virus<\/a>, and I think we found patient zero. Her name is Darializa Avila Chevalier.”<\/p>\n

MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALIST WITH HISTORY OF ANTI-AMERICAN RHETORIC WINS VICIOUS DEM PRIMARY RACE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Avila Chevalier, 32, defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in Tuesday\u2019s primary<\/a>. Chevalier led with 49.4% to Espaillat\u2019s 45.9%.<\/p>\n

Maher also cited past statements about the United States and her reported plan to kneel during the congressional oath.<\/p>\n

“She also says that the United States, the country she\u2019s running to be a part of, is occupied native land, and says this country, America, is a f—ing disgrace,” Maher said. “During the oath of office, she\u2019s going to take a knee.”<\/p>\n

MAMDANI STANDS BY FELLOW SOCIALIST CANDIDATE DESPITE RESURFACED FAR-LEFT, ANTI-AMERICAN POSTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The New York Editorial Board pressed Chevalier multiple times about how a murderer should be treated under her abolitionist views. She said incarceration remains what happens in the current system but did not directly endorse it.<\/p>\n

“The fact that the murder happened is tragic. The fact that there was a circumstance in which that could even come to pass is tragic, and all of that is a reflection of systems that allowed that circumstance to be possible,” Avila Chevalier said.<\/p>\n

Chevalier also told the board she opposed deportations in all circumstances.<\/p>\n

“I am not OK with any deportation,” she said. “I think all deportation is wrong because I think it is an incredibly cruel punishment that is really only relegated to people on the basis of where they were born.”<\/p>\n

Her campaign platform<\/a> includes, “Abolish ICE,” Medicare for All, Housing for All and a “Babies, not Bombs” agenda. Her website says she would “fight to abolish the deportation machine” and “divest” money spent on wars abroad.<\/p>\n

The New York Times has described Chevalier as a candidate who has “voiced support for abolishing the police, borders and prisons and seizing property from landlords<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Darializa Avila Chevalier for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
