Bill Maher BLASTS The Left Over RFK Jr.’s Wife

Liberal comedian Bill Maher criticized the political Left this week for attacking Cheryl Hines, the wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., following her husband’s endorsement of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Maher made these comments on Friday evening during his HBO show “Real Time,” addressing the backlash Hines has faced since her husband’s endorsement late last month.

“His wife is Cheryl Hines, who Larry David was quoted as describing as ‘the best person I ever met, the one person in Hollywood who doesn’t have a single enemy,'” Maher said. “Well now she does, because she didn’t throw her husband under the bus when her husband made a decision about something which she’s made plain she disagrees with, but that didn’t satisfy the obnoxious posers on the aforementioned far-Left.”

He noted that Hines faced thousands of harassing social media posts attacking her for not publicly opposing her husband’s endorsement of Trump.

“You want to know why I have a bug up my a** about the Left more than I used to?” he asked. “It’s s*** like this. There’s an ugliness they never used to have. The Liberals I grew up respecting, none of them are like this. Going after the wife? Even the mafia doesn’t do that.  There’s a lot of people these days who I call liberals in theory. In theory, they hate bullying, terrible. In practice, their attitude is, it’s not bullying when I stick your head in the toilet. In theory, liberals are compassionate. In practice, this guy can’t even understand one of the most basic dilemmas common to all humans, that when you’re married, sometimes you have to swallow some s***.”
