Bill Maher Mocks Trump Rants On Charlie Kirk Shooting

Comedian and pundit Bill Maher roasted President Donald Trump over a pair of rants that followed the killing of Trump ally and activist Charlie Kirk.

On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Charlie Sheen, actor and subject of the new two-part documentary “aka Charlie Sheen” on Netflix, and author of the new book “The Book of Sheen: A Memoir.”

The panel guests were Tim Alberta, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism”; and Ben Shapiro, co-founder of The Daily Wire and author of “Lions and Scavengers: The True History of America (and Her Critics).”

Maher kicked off the show with a monologue that made heavy references to the shocking Kirk murder, including Trump’s rants blaming the killing on the “left”:

BILL MAHER: Yesterday the president weighed in on this. He said “Violence and murder are tragic consequences of demonizing those you disagree with day after day, year after year. And that goes double for dogs fat pigs and terrible persons!”.

Today, they asked the president, what are you going to do to bring the country together? And he said, “I know this is going to get me in trouble, but I could care less.”.

He’s a different kind of cat. His message is, let the healing stop. Oh, okay. His message, not mine.

No, he had a rough week, and this shit has to stop too. He went out to dinner. I wouldn’t have done that. In Washington, D.C., okay, and people started to gather around him and they were chanting, “You’re the Hitler of our time!”.

Okay, first of all, assholes, he’s not Hitler, okay? An insult to everybody in the Holocaust to begin with.

Second of all calling somebody Hitler makes it a lot easier to justify things like assassinations. Let’s put a sh*tload of that away, shall we?

And also I’m not saying he’s popular, you know, he went out to dinner there in Washington DC, the kitchen had to send out for more spit, but he’s not Hitler.
