Bill Maher Joins MAGA in Calling Kimmel 'Wrong' on Charlie Kirk [View all]

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.”
