Bill Maher warns Dems to cut loose tone-deaf celebs who are ‘actually hurting’ the party
NY Post
Bill Maher and musician John Mellencamp discussed Monday about how out of touch wealthy liberal celebrities are with everyday working Americans.
On his “Club Random” podcast, Maher said that while he finds Democrats ultimately to be “less alarming” than Republicans, he takes issue with their far-left excesses and sometimes tone-deaf messaging. “But yes, I think both sides have to be called out. And, like, I live in Hollywood, this town just does not believe that. They do not believe in calling out both sides.”
Mellencamp recalled Maher’s recent statement rejecting the idea of using the Golden Globes as an opportunity to make political statements by wearing lapel pins to honor Minneapolis resident Renee Good, who was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
A variety of prominent celebrities — including actor Mark Ruffalo and comedian Wanda Sykes — wore pins that said, “Be Good,” in reference to Renee Good, while others used the televised platform to make political statements.
Maher, however, laughed off and rejected the idea, sparking celebrity ire to the point that Sykes took a swipe at him as he was presented with an award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television, telling him, “You give us so much. But I would love a little less. Just try less.”
“It was so funny,” Maher said, recalling his initial reaction that sparked so much outrage.
