‘Not Funny!’ Bill Maher Scolds His Audience After He Says ‘They Tried To Shoot Trump Again’
Comic and political pundit Bill Maher scolded his audience repeatedly after saying “They tried to shoot former President Donald Trump again,” telling them “It’s not funny!”
On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Bjorn Lombord was the interview guest and Stephanie Ruhle and Bret Stephens were the panel guests.
But before any of them appeared, Maher made a show of scolding his audience during the monologue as he talked about the latest of two failed assassination plots against Trump:
BILL MAHER: So let’s not bury the lead. The big story this week, they trying to shoot Trump again. Let’s not–.
CROWD: (CHORTLE)
BILL MAHER: Not funny! It’s–.
CROWD: (LAUGHTER).
BILL MAHER: Okay? I’m being serious. This is the second time this happened. I said this before. There can be no fuzz on this. This is not funny! Okay? So. Okay. So, look, it’s not okay to wish it happened.
CROWD: (LAUGHTER).
BILL MAHER: Well, this is a problem.
Well, I mean, look, this happens too frequently. I’m sorry this happened on the golf course. The guy was laying in wait and it happens too much.
In fact, besides the shooter, there were other two other shooters beside him waiting to play through. This has got to stop.
And of course, the NRA had to come out with this statement. This is no time to talk about gun control. They said guns do not kill people. Pagers kill people.
Yeah, that’s the other big story this week. The fight with Hezbollah is on there in the Middle East. And the way Israel did it, some pretty amazing you know, terrorists know this for a long time. First thing you got to do, get rid of your cell phone because they could track you there. So they’ve been using old school pagers. And the Israelis this week made all the pagers blow up in what they call Operation 1980s drug dealers. Ooh, Do not fuck with Israel, man. They did. They took the fight from their river to their pants.
