Bill Maher on the GOP Debate: ‘I Really Wanted to Shoot the TV’

Bill Maher immediately kicked off his panel discussion tonight by saying, of the GOP debate, “I am speechless for the first time.”

He felt the need to ask “When exactly did America end?” and even said it was so childish and dumb, “I really wanted to shoot the TV like Elvis.”

Maher compared Donald Trump to climate change, because Republicans “knew it was coming, didn’t do anything about it, and now it’s too late.”

Fran Lebowitz argued that the other Republicans aren’t much better, while Michael Eric Dyson said Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio were “trying to out-ignorant each other.”

Dyson said if they’re the adults in the room, “I am scared of the insane asylum that’s been revealed by their lack of maturity.”
