Bill Maher has lashed out at Democrats for declining to come on his show.
“People ask me all the time, ‘Why haven’t you ever had Hillary or Bill Clinton on? Why didn’t you have Kamala on during the last campaign?’” Maher said on Real Time with Bill Maher Friday. “You think we don’t ask?”
Noting that it took him “eight years and a petition to get Obama on,” Maher lamented that he could not even attract Democratic politicians for whom he has voted.
“We ask these people every week. They say, ‘No,’” he added. “And these are people, all people I voted for. Think about that. They’re afraid to come on the show of a guy who voted for them.”
By contrast, Maher stated, “The Republicans? They show up. And when they do, they take their beating like a man.”
The comedian then shared a montage of some of his most dramatic altercations with Republican figures, including Trump confidant Steve Bannon and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Maher then name-dropped some of the Democratic politicians he would like to interview, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
“Look, I would love to have AOC on the show and Mamdani and Elizabeth Warren, but I can’t subpoena the guests, and I can’t fix that,” he said. “I can’t fix that what the Democrats are scared of more than anything else—I mean, obviously, besides gluten—is being primaried from the far left."

Cool Bill, let me know when they’re on so I can not watch.
Just keep voting for them, Bill - it’s not like we expect you’ll ever get a clue.
Brazil was a net exporter of oil. They've never not been a net exporter of oil.Maher: "You know, [Obama] owns this issue now, because it was only a few weeks ago that he came out for offshore drilling. I would say philosophically this is a problem many on the left have had for many years…there is no one that represents out point of view…where is the other side on this? I could certainly criticize oil companies, and I could certainly criticize America in general for not attacking this in the 70’s, I mean Brazil got off oil in the last 30 years."
Will: “I want to just get back to Bill. Can you just explain to me in what sense Brazil got off oil?”
Maher: “Uh. I believe they did. I believe in the 70's they had a program to use sugarcane ethanol, and I believe that is what fuels their country."
Will:: "I think they still burn a lot of oil and have a lot of offshore (drilling)."
Maher is an entertainer, who attempts to play the middleground for ratings. He is a schmo, a schnorrer. When Hefner died he had to find a new way to waste his time...
Bill Maher is a smarmy liberal. But a small part of him is a classical liberal. He’s not completely in the pocket of anyone.
Republicans can accept that. But not Democrats. They want trained, clapping seals and nothing else.
Quick story: Some leftie (I forget who) was on Maher’s show a couple of years ago. And the leftie said Muslims had a right to resort to terror attacks on civilians because the Muslims were “oppressed”.
Maher tore him apart. No “You have a point, but…” nonsense at all.
As with depositions under oath and those clever little FD-302 forms used to entrap to charges like "lying to the FBI," now what we all say and print and publish is fair game in this new world of "verbatim" transcripts.
The old political game was to tell differing audiences different things in a time when proving with an actual citation was cumbersome, if not impossible. It's turned out quite a different world for that sort of politics.
IOW, commies don’t want to go on his show and defend communism. They know they have a losing position on every single issue: America-first, crime, immigration, open borders, taxes, energy, trannies, abortion...you name it, they are on the losing side. No wonder they are cowards.
The funny thing is so many Dem “pundits” and yakkety-yakker’s tell them they need to be tougher.
Bill Maher’s Lament: “I need more Lambs to arrive to the slaughter. Where are all those Lambs I just invited? I’m ready for you now!
I have all my scalpels, exacto knives and jigsaw blades sterilized and ready for use! What are you waiting for?”
Go back to being the left wing shill you always were, Bill. That’s what the Democrat Party expects of the so-called “entertainment” industry.
Bill Maher has lashed out at Democrats for declining to come on his show.

Democrat Bill Maher has lashed out at his fellow Democrats for declining to come on his show.
Mostly, he blames insane lefty wokeism squarely for Trump's re-election.
Liberals are well-meaning, but mistaken
Leftists are evil people, filled with demons. The Liberals are too weak to stop the leftists.
> Liberals are well-meaning, but mistaken… <
I believe you’re right. I know liberals like that, old-school Democrats.
They think they’re still in the party of JFK. But they’re really in the communist party of Bernie Sanders and AOC.
It is very frustrating that they cannot see that.
Many do, my family are all Liberals and voted for Trump, except my dad. He didn’t like Trump until he handled Iran
Bill, you need to completely wake up.
You’ve been living in la-la land so long that you can’t see the Pacific for the smog.
The old Democrat Party is dead. They’ve morphed into a discipleship of Karl Marx.
Bill, it’s because they are hollow shells that spout the party line and do not have an original thought of their own. They cannot defend any position at any time about anything.
Worthless, useless, hateful dividers. This is all they are.
Maher: “We ask these people-——Democratic politicians-—— every week to come on the show, “And these are people, all people I voted for. Think about that. They’re afraid to come on the show of a guy who voted for them.”
By contrast, Maher stated, “The Republicans? They show up. And when they do, they take their beating like a man.” The comedian then shared a montage of some of his most dramatic altercations with Republican figures, including Trump confidant Steve Bannon and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
So do I. They can clap themselves into oblivion.
Democrats are afraid to go on with Maher because he’ll ask intelligent questions... and he’ll listen to the answers...
