"Real Time" host Bill Maher roasted President Biden's drastic policy reversal at the border as a "disaster" for Democrats.
The Biden administration shocked the nation this week after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas cited an "acute and immediate need" to waive 26 federal laws, including the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act to begin new border wall construction in the Starr County area of the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
This breaks one of the president's biggest campaign promises of not adding any more border wall, a structure former President Donald Trump had long championed.
During Friday night's panel discussion, Maher sounded the alarm.
"I feel like this is a disaster for the Democrats," Maher began. "Trump today said he wants Biden to apologize because it looks like Biden was adopting his policy. This does not look good for the Democrats."
He continued: "Also they look like sanctuary city hypocrites. They were the ones who said, 'Look, we're the compassionate people. Everybody should get a shot here.' And then when they started sending — I mean the quotes from Eric Adams, this is the mayor of liberal New York, ‘This issue will destroy our city.’ The governor [Kathy Hochul], 'If you're going to leave your country, go somewhere else.' Keep walking is from the governor of New York? They put out a flyer in New York City now, says, ‘New York is one of the most expensive cities in the world. You are better off going to a more affordable city'… I understand there's a little ‘I told you so’ on the border."
ABC News contributor Sarah Isgur responded by telling Maher it's "even worse" than what he described since Democrats would accuse Texas of being "racist" for decrying the migrant crisis.

Maher is the biggest phoney in the country.
“Not one inch of wall will ever be built.”
This is all photo ops and rhetoric for the 2024 election. Meanwhile, the open borders will continue.
Whatever the strategy is for biden’s handlers the border kerfuffle is already starting to bite them. It can’t be a coincidence the kathy hochul and mayor adams are starting to back peddle furiously at the same time as this move by biden.
But the border problem wouldn’t clear up if you turned off the spigot this minute. Cities and airports are stacking illegals vertically to keep up with the numbers already here. And no one is turning off the spigot anytime soon.
Hey did anyone notice this about-face on the Wall, came just a couple of days before the attack on Israel?
...almost like our intelligence services knew in advance.
...and almost like they “forgot” to let Israel know.
Are any members of “The Squad” on House Intelligence Committees?
