Media warn of Trump 'escalating violence' in final days of election
"Real Time" host Bill Maher scolded the media for distorting former President Trump's comments about his vocal critic Liz Cheney.
"I woke up today to the headline that Trump had called for a firing squad for Liz Cheney," Maher told the panel during Friday’s installment of his "Overtime" online segment. "And this is what I really don't like about the media. No, he didn't… You don't have to move me to not like Donald Trump more than I already [don't].
"He's criticizing him for being a war hawk. I mean, she is Dick Cheney's daughter," Maher said before reading what Trump said. "Now, of course, he expresses himself horribly. He has to add 'she's a stupid person' because he's a moron… Just to be clear, this is exactly what hippies always said. This is exactly what peaceniks always said. This is ‘Fortunate Son’ the song. It's like, you know what? It's very easy to sit in your building and send young men to die."
