Rebublicans are all butt-hurt that Bill Maher called Trump an orangutan in 2013 and want him

[smirkymonkey]

to be fired NOW because of what happened to Roseanne.

They don't seem to understand the difference between satire and racism. Besides, Trump tried to sue Maher for millions when Trump finally came up with the proof that his mother did not have sex with an orangutan, and therefore Maher backed out on his promise to donate $5M to a charity of Trump's choice if he could come up with proof of his human parentage. Eventually the suit was dropped, but Trump never forgives.

These people are so sad and ridiculous.

1. He was like an orangutan in 2013? He's really gone downhill since then. n/t

[oberliner]

2. People may have forgotten that the "orangutan" bit was a response to Trump's birtherism

This was around the time that Trump was asking for Obama to provide his birth certificate to prove he was born in the US. Maher spoofed that by asking for Trump to provide his birth certificate to prove he was not the son of an orangutan.

[Heartstrings]

4. Exactly!

Beat me by a minute!

[Heartstrings]

3. This was also in direct defense of

Trumps incessant birther claims about Pres Obama....

If Obama needed to show his birth certificate, so did IQ45 to show his father wasn't an orangutan.

6. And he did it!

He took the bait! He's so stupid he didn't know Bill was messing with him.

8. Michael Cohen sent Bill a copy of Trump's birth certificate

"Attached hereto is a copy of Mr. Trump’s birth certificate, demonstrating that he is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan.”

Then they tried to sue.

5. That was terrible. There was no need to besmirch Orangutans

They are highly intelligent animals.

7. Orangutans are thoughtful and empathetic

9. The Orangutans should have called for Maher to be fired.

For soiling their reputation with a comparison to Trump!!

10. Bill Maher was so wrong!

Orangutans are born with the ability to reason and think. Certainly can’t say the same about tRump.

11. I LOVE orangutans!

Here are some going for a ride in a wheelbarrow

12. My brother used to tease me that I was 'Snowflake' the famous albino

gorilla when I was a kid. I loved it. I've heard white parents call their kids 'Monkey' as a term of affection. It is not the same thing as it is for African Americans, for them it has been used the dehumanize first and then enslave, colonize, impoverish or genocide them second. Not the same thing at all.

[Ilsa]

13. They love overlooking that detail.

Or maybe they are too stupid to understand the difference.

[Turbineguy]

14. Yes.

"I'm sorry I called that motherfucker an orangutan. And I really wish I could speak the language of the orangutan, because it's to them that I really need to apologize."
