Bill Maher’s audience laughs as he’s forced to remind liberals “you’re not a good person” if you want Trump killed.
“He’s not Hitler!”
“I would just like to say, if you… watched that and were disappointed the president wasn’t killed…”
[Audience laughs]
“See, they’re laughing at that. You’re not a good person or a smart person, but definitely not a good person.”
“I was reading this, in your [NYT] paper interview with Governor Pritzker of Illinois, and they asked him, what does the next president have to be. And he said ‘good, decent and kind,’ which, who can disagree with that? And certainly Trump has often not been good, decent or kind.”
[Bret Stephens tries to butt in]: “Right, but also —”
“But he’s not Hitler!” Maher fires back, shutting him down.
“Liberals used to always say, and they were right to say it, that a lot of this very violent rhetoric that we hear on the left, it inspires the borderline personalities to then do something. And they were right. I never thought they were wrong. But the shoe’s on the other foot now.”
“I mean, it’s on both feet. But you got to own this kind of rhetoric. This is why I was against this ‘he’s Hitler’ bullshit. I mean, if you really believe that he is a Hitler McPedophile, then you kind of have to kill him. That’s the mentality they have.”
