Maher: There’s a Right-Wing Coup Going On, ‘Media, Do Your F*cking Job’

Bill Maher opened his show tonight by warning that pretty much everyone is and should be terrified by the prospect of Donald Trump winning.

Maher said, “It’s not fucking funny. There is a slow-moving right-wing coup going on. Media, do your fucking job! Report on it!”

He went off on the FBI for injecting itself into the election, while admitting it’s not “surprising that guys in a building named after J. Edgar Hoover would have issues with women”

And after going on about how dangerous Trump could be, Maher concluded, “People are saying ‘It’s better than Hillary.’ No it’s fucking not! We have to get back to reality!”
