Bill Maher thinks one reason Donald Trump became President of the United States is liberal culture’s concern with language.
"Democrats have gone from the party that protects people to the party that protects feelings. From, 'Ask not what your country can do for you,' to, 'You owe me an apology,'" Maher said on Friday night’s Real Time With Bill Maher.
Maher noted how conservatives dominated elections last year while, he felt, liberals were focused on smaller issues - like a tweet Steve Martin sent in the wake of Carrie Fisher’s death.
"When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well," Martin wrote in a contentious tweet that he later deleted.
"How could you Steve? We thought we knew you, but this? You noted her appearance first, and then that she was witty and bright. You’re a monster," Maher said on Friday. "Liberals do this all the time: they get offended for people who themselves would not be offended. You know that whole controversy about the name Washington Redskins? They did a survey: nine out of 10 actual Indians don’t give a sh–."
"What matters is that while you self-involved fools were policing language at the Kids’ Choice Awards, a madman talked his way into the White House," Maher said. "What matters is that while liberals were in a contest to see who could be the first to call out fat-shaming, the Tea Party has been busy taking over school boards. Stop protecting your virgin ears and start noticing you’re getting f—ed in the ass."
