Bill Maher Singles Out His Own Audience For Laughing About Trump Being Killed: 'You're Not a Good Person'

BILL MAHER: Well, let’s get the ugly news about the political violence out of the way first, because we have to talk about it. I’m just going to vomit my take on it, and then you can argue.

I would just like to say, if you’re one of these people, and there’s many in this country who watched that and was disappointed the president wasn’t killed–.

(LAUGHTER)

See, they’re laughing at that! (LAUGHS)

You’re not a good person. Or a smart person. But definitely not a good person.

I was reading this in your paper, an interview with Governor Pritzer 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: Right, but also…

BILL MAHER: But he’s not Hitler!

“He’s not Hitler”. Yes as far as I know he hasn’t yet killed millions of people. What’s the point?

There’s thousands of pictures of him hanging out with child rapist, Hugh Hefner. Spare me the morality lecture, pedo bud Bill.
