GILL: “Ms. Maher, I want to start with you. Just generally, would you say you generally agree or disagree with the following statement? The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
MAHER: “I would not say I agree with that, sir.”
GILL: “You would not. That’s good to hear. It’s interesting because a lot of your thinking, as expressed by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism. Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?”
MAHER: “I believe that I tweeted that, and as I’ve said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade.”
GILL: “It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?”
MAHER: “I don’t recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn’t be able to say.”
GILL: “OK. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy?”
MAHER: “I don’t believe that, sir." [crosstalk]
GILL: “You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, ‘The Case for Reparations.’“
MAHER: “I don’t think I’ve ever read that book, sir.”
GILL: “You tweeted about it. You said you took a day off to fully read ‘The Case for Reparations.’ You put that on Twitter in January of 2020.”
MAHER: “I apologize, I don’t recall that I did.”
