Bill Maher tonight had a less-than-positive reaction to Hillary Clinton speaking out this week on Bill O’Reilly‘s comment about Maxine Waters and Sean Spicer‘s much-talked-about reaction to reporter April Ryan during a briefing this week.

Clinton said both of them were just “doing their jobs” when O’Reilly and Spicer took shots at them.

Maher first said, “Hillary, stay in the woods. Okay, you had your shot, you fucked it up.”

Maher found it a little ridiculous that she “spoke up about a joke” from O’Reilly, saying the Democrats lost the election because they always take the bait about “little bullshit issues.” Guest Neera Tanden shot back that racism and sexism aren’t little issues.

Maher asked, “Why is it racist?”

You can watch the exchange above, via HBO.
