Bill Maher's Warning to the Left About Its Own Hypocrisy and Presumptuousness Is a Must-See
By Brandon Morse | Jan 18, 2021 12:30 PM ET
Bill Maher, HBO’s longtime host of Real Time with Bill Maher, is the broken clock that’s right twice a day. While he foolishly promotes illiberal people while shouting about the fact that we need more liberality, he’s one of the few leftists who is willing to part with the left on different issues in order to call them out.
Last Friday, he absolutely did.
As the left continues to slam the entirety of the right as “insurrectionists†because of the crowd that invaded the Capitol building, Maher pointed out something very real; that a handful of people does not equal the entirety of an ideological voting bloc.
“Let’s not confuse 5,000 people with 74 million,†Maher said during his monologue. “Yes, even supporting the insurrection in spirit is, well, deplorable. But there’s a difference between holding illiberal beliefs and acting violently on them. At least that’s what they always told me about Islamic terrorism.â€
“I keep wrestling on this show with the hard question of how do Americans, all of us, learn to share a country with assholes you can’t stand,†the host said. “I preach, and still do, you can hate Trump, but not all the people who like him. And as counterintuitive as it may seem, you can like something run by assholes without being one yourself.â€
