HBO’s Invoice Maher is making an attempt to cease his occasion from speeding off an electoral cliff.
To date, it’s not working.
The old-school liberal has been warning the Left about its woke embrace for a number of years. Extra just lately, he’s referred to as out Democrats for refusing to have interaction with their political foes.
He practices what he preaches. He’s invited a number of high-profile conservatives on “Actual Time with Invoice Maher” in addition to his “Membership Random” podcast.
- Child Rock
- Dave Rubin
- Riley Gaines
- Matt Gaetz
- Charlie Kirk
Maher’s message nonetheless isn’t getting via.
On Friday’s “Actual Time with Invoice Maher,” the host doubled and tripled down on a celebration that seems hell bent on destruction. Working example? The progressive adulation for all issues Palestinian, embody Hamas and cries of Intifada.
It’s occurring on elite universities on a regular basis, and there’s little pushback from Democratic officers.
“The thought leaders within the Democratic Get together preserve encouraging and never rebuking this concept that America is cringe and the individuals who run Gaza are nice … The Democrats’ downside is the vitality of the occasion is with the younger, and the younger are with the terrorists.”
Too many Democrats detest their very own occasion. That’s an issue, too, he mentioned, particulary with Gen Z progressives.
“Lower than one in 4 Democrats beneath 30 say they’re proud to be an American. 54 p.c say they’re embarrassed by it. Embarrassed? Like America is your mother choosing you up in school? You’re embarrassed to be an American? Nicely, guess what? The sensation’s mutual. As a result of you don’t have any perspective. Is America good? No, after all not, no nation is. Though, don’t get Tucker Carlson began on Russia. However the U.S. is leagues forward of the remainder of the world on many of the progressive points which might be necessary to younger individuals.”
Inform that to the Queers for Palestine contingent.
Calling all “Queers for Palestine”!

Maher rattled off a litany of knowledge factors pointing to America’s outstanding progress in relation to sexism, racism and human rights.
“Our present Congress is probably the most racially and ethnically numerous ever. They’re like a gorgeous, ineffective rainbow,” he quipped.
Maher didn’t lose sight of humor throughout his monologue. What’s gorgeous is that he’s certainly one of a only a few liberal comics criticizing Democrats on this trend. The remainder of late-night TV (past Fox Information’ “Gutfeld!”) refuses to name out their facet.
Colbert and co. pummel President Trump nightly with out criticizing the fashionable Left. That leaves Maher to scream into the void, deperate to save lots of a celebration which embraces all of the flawed individuals.
Accused spouse beaters and human traffickers? People heroes.
Accused murderers? Worthy of musical theater.
Liberal tutorial establishments? Hotbeds of hate and antisemitism.
Maher sees all of it and thinks none of it’s humorous. And, sadly, he’s principally alone within the liberal popular culture panorama.
