Bill Maher Joins MAGA in Calling Kimmel ‘Wrong’ on Charlie Kirk
The “Real Time” host offered words of support for “friend” Jimmy Kimmel—even if he disagrees with him.

Bill Maher came out swinging against the “hypocritical” cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher—while also saying his fellow late-night host was wrong for what he said about Charlie Kirk.
...
“I don’t think what he said was exactly right. I don’t,” said Maher. “We don’t agree on that,” Maher said during his opening monologue, adding, “He shouldn’t lose his job for it.”

Maher appeared to take issue with Kimmel’s pushback against right-wing rhetoric suggesting that Kirk’s suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, was a Democrat.

“Jimmy’s wrong, I think, to put [Robinson] in one team. But, you know, look at what this guy is doing,” Maher said. “I mean, Jimmy has every right to be wrong, but look at this guy.”

1. Fuck that washed up old dirtbag.

6. This

13. +1

[samplegirl]

2. How are we not suprised

from his vile options more times than not.

[The Wizard]

3. Maher is playing both sides of the road.

The only things you find in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead armadillos.
Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

8. The only things you find in the middle of the road are yellow stripes

I hope you don't mind if I use that line for the rest of my life

10. he may have a new boss at HBO...a right-leaning one

Larry Ellison is preparing to buy Warner Bros...parent to HBO. This, along with Maher's meeting with Trump, is all the evidence we need to know where Maher is headed to.

P.S. Ellison just bought Parmount and NOW wants Warner Bros?!?! Just Ugh. Interesting times we live in.

11. It might be a fight

Supposedly Netflix is interested in Warner Brothers.

[fujiyamasan]

19. I think it's Ellison's son, bad enough either way

[The Wizard]

4. So Bill,

What did Jimmy Kimmel say that offended you? I'll wait.

[mucifer]

5. Not the worst thing Maher has said. He doesn't

have to agree with Kimmel. He didn’t think Kimmel should get fired.

Maher has said far worse things I am not a fan

[SocialDemocrat61]

7. True. Much worse

But he's going over to the dark side more and more. From just about 2 weeks ago:

Bill Maher Hits Colbert, Stewart, Kimmel for Parroting MSNBC
The ultra-opinionated late-night host misses the good ol’ days when Letterman, Leno, and Carson “never told you their politics.”
Eboni Boykin-Patterson

Bill Maher has some of the strongest political opinions on late-night television—but he’s sick of hearing everyone else’s.

On the latest episode of his podcast Club Random, Maher told his guest, The Sopranos star Drea de Matteo, that Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, and Jimmy Kimmel “very predictably” parrot “whatever MSNBC was saying” on their shows, as he praised the good ol’ days when “Letterman, Leno, you know, Carson…they never told you their politics.”

Maher argued that “part of our problem is that everybody makes their decisions based on the politics of the art and not the art itself.”

12. But he's wrong...

Kimmel's statement was correct

[Scrivener7]

9. Shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

[Buckeyeblue]

14. The other talk show hosts are cowards

Their response has been overwhelmingly submissive. That's because they are afraid to lose their millions in salary.

David Letterman has been the only one to speak out. He's retired.

It's sad.

[SocialDemocrat61]

15. Really???

[BannonsLiver]

16. Bill's red pill transformation is more or less complete.

Just some touch up work left to do but he’s 95 percent there.

[allegorical oracle]

17. Who made Maher the political expert? I predict that as the stun factor of Kirk's

death passes, his inhumane and callous quotes will increasingly emerge. It shouldn't affect the shooter, however, because his violent response was totally improper and can't be condoned.

[applegrove]

18. He said he was wrong to put a f***ed kid on any team. Right or left.

He went into the two Trump assassins and how they didn't fit a label. I disagree. They are mostly right wing nuts these school and political killers.

[Prairie Gates]

20. Fuck Bill Maher

[littlemissmartypants]

21. He's always been an egotistical, misogynistic, assh*le.

I've never liked him and my opinion is unlikely to change.

22. Bill Maher can jump down a cancellation well.

Without water in it.
