Maher, speaking with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America founder Paul Rieckhoff and author Douglas Murray, said Orbán "goes too far" in some respects but added, "I think you and I both believe there is such a thing as Western civilization."

Don’t care to hear it from Maher.
It is a huge indictment of the modern media ecosystem that anybody would give a crap about what Bill Maher has to say.

FUN WITH THE GRAND JURY!
