On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that the Democratic Party should make Russia their focus in the 2018 elections and stated that President Trump is a Russian spy.

Maher remarked that Democrats should be saying, “Trump and his son are traitors who are trying to take away your health care.”

He added that Democrats should focus on Russia as their winning issue in 2018 and “There is no bigger issue than Russia.”

Maher later stated that Vice President Pence isn’t worse than Trump because “Mike Pence is not a Russian spy.”
