‘We’ve All Been Doing It’: Bill Maher Says ‘It’s Natural’ To Picture Trump Being Raped In Prison In Rant Against Prison Rape
Comic and political pundit Bill Maher joked about picturing former President Donald Trump being raped in prison in a rant against conditions that make prison rape so prevalent.
On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the comic’s panel guests were Abigail Shrier and Matt Welch and his interview guest was Sen. John Fetterman.
In his weekly “New Rules” spot, Maher opened his commentary about prison with a reference to the potential prison sentence Trump could face over the 34 felony convictions in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial.
Maher said “it’s only natural” to want to picture Trump “getting fucked in the ass” in prison — but added “maybe we shouldn’t”:
And finally, New Rule. Someone has to look into the puzzling paradox of why it is that rape jokes are completely unacceptable and unthinkable and totally out of bounds — but raped in prison jokes? Fucking hilarious!
It’s never–. Never a bad time to hear the one about how if you drop the soap in the prison shower, don’t bend over for it!
And look, with all the talk now about Trump possibly going to jail, we– we’ve all been doing it. I mean, come on, it’s Donald Trump!
Given the opportunity, it’s natural to want to imagine him getting fucked in the ass.
(laughter and applause)
I’m just saying maybe we shouldn’t. If not for him, then for the nearly 2 million people behind bars at any given time in this country. That’s more people than in 12 states. They should have their own two senators. And one can be Bob Menendez.
America has a higher incarceration rate than Russia or China, or almost any of the other evildoer countries we’re always shitting our pants over. And yet, for some reason, everything at Walgreens is still locked behind plexiglass.
But for some reason, Americans simply accept that not only do we lock up way more people, but that if you’re a criminal of any kind? Yes, sodomy is the appropriate comeuppance.
