Bill Maher laughs at celebrities wearing 'Be Good' pins, calls ICE shooting of Renee Good 'a terrible thing'
 

Comedian Bill Maher feels the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal agent was "terrible" and shouldn’t have happened, but he laughed at celebrities who wore a pin about it to the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

A variety of prominent celebrities, including actor Mark Ruffalo and comedian Wanda Sykes, wore pins that said, "Be Good," in reference to Renee Good, while others used the televised platform to make political statements. Maher laughed after he was asked by USA Today on the red carpet about Hollywood stars wearing the pins and using the Golden Globes for activism.
 
"We’re just here for show business today," he said. "You know, it was a terrible thing that happened, and it shouldn’t have happened, and if they didn’t act like such thugs, it wouldn’t have had to happen. But I don’t need to wear a pin about it."
