Comedian Bill Maher slammed the no-spend day protests calling the economic blackout protest "so f------ stupid," as his panel suggested Democrats figure out how to win elections.
"This is something called the People’s Union USA. And they have something called — today I got emails about this from people — no spend day. And it’s against the malign influence of billionaires, big corporations and both major political parties on the lives of working Americans," Maher said during his "Overtime" section of his Friday show. "And what it is, is you refrain from making any purchases, either in stores or online, to shun fast food, getting gas — for a full day! I know! That look on your face says it all! You’re right, it’s so f------ stupid!"
According to the Associated Press, a group called the People's Union USA organized an economic blackout on Friday, Feb. 28, to protest big corporations and the system as a whole.
Maher was joined by former Democratic Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel as well as CNN host Fared Zakaria, who pointed out that some have used interpretive dance to protest the president.
