Maher blasts Hollywood liberals for not acknowledging Charlie Kirk's assassination at the Emmys
"Real Time" host Bill Maher called out Hollywood liberals Friday for not acknowledging the Sept. 10 assassination of Charlie Kirk at the Emmys."The left does have this bad attitude of go no contact," Maher said during a panel discussion. "I mean, at the Emmys, would it have killed someone to get up there, since they all want to talk about their politics, would it kill somebody to get up there- not give a speech about how much they liked Charlie Kirk, just to say, 'We had a political assassination this week. And that's wrong.' They would have been booed off the stage because he was on the wrong team. So you're not even allowed to say that.""Could you imagine if a left-wing person was assassinated that week? The whole show would have been about that," Maher added.EX-ABC HOST BILL MAHER EMPATHIZES WITH JIMMY KIMMEL, SAYS NETWORK STANDS FOR ALWAYS BE CAVINGSunday's 77th Primetime Emmy Awards made no reference to the horrific murder of the Turning Point USA co-founder, which occurred just days before television's big night.
