'This Is What I F**king Hate About The Left': Bill Maher Pops Off On Political Tribalism

LOADINGERROR LOADINGComedian Bill Maher is unleashing some harsh criticism of “the left.” On Sunday’s episode of his “Club Random” podcast, Maher spoke with guest Jay Leno about Sammy Davis Jr., with Leno saying the singer faced blowback over his connection to Richard Nixon during the Republican’s presidential administration.The former “Tonight Show” host said Davis was “seen as a traitor” after appearing with Nixon, prompting Maher to reflect on America’s current political climate.Advertisement “Today we live in this time when you’re not allowed to have friends from the other side or cross lines politically, and I forgot that there’s an example of that way back when,” he said.To some, this is considered “the worst thing you could ever do,” suggested Maher, who’s previously said his work aims to not be “tribal” despite the country’s divided politics.“Be friends with a Republican? Ah! Call 911!” he joked.“This is what I fucking hate about the left,” Maher said, criticizing the notion that anyone should “cut your family off for Thanksgiving if they voted for the wrong guy.”Advertisement “Fuck off, you fucks,” he added.Watch Sunday’s “Club Random” episode here.RelatedBill MaherJay Lenosammy davis jrBill Maher Says He May Quit ‘Real Time’ Because He’s Tired Of This 1 PersonBill Maher Predicts 4-Word Policy For Matt Gaetz's Justice DepartmentBill Maher Decries Trump 'Worship' After Shooting: ‘America Doesn’t Need A Demigod’ Go to HomepageLEAVE A COMMENTSuggest a correction|Submit a tipAdvertisement From Our Partner ...
