'The View' Co-hosts Lose It on Bill Maher Over What He Said About Masks
Townhall ^ | Jan 25, 2022 | Leah Barkoukis

Leftists on “The View” took offense Monday to comedian Bill Maher, who dared to criticize the use of masks and other “silly” Covid-19 restrictions at this point in the pandemic.

"It’s just gone on too long. Nobody cares anymore. I don’t want to live in your paranoid world anymore, your masked paranoid world,” he said on “Real Time With Bill Maher.”

"You know, you go out, it’s silly now. You know, you have your mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster, they scan your head like you’re a cashier and I’m a bunch of bananas. I’m not bananas, you are,” he added.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg blasted Maher’s comments.

“How dare you be so flippant, man?” she said.

“Nobody on the planet wants to go through this,” Goldberg added. “This is not something we’re doing because it’s, you know, sexually gratifying. This is what we’re doing to protect our families. And you don’t have to do it, but stay away from everybody. Because if you’re the one who’s not paying attention and you’re coughing and sneezing, then stay out of the public, man.”

Co-host Sara Haines jumped in to argue that precautions like masking will “always be here” and that it’s a new normal, comparing the situation to post-9/11 when safety measures were introduced that are still in use.

"I may never ride a subway again without a mask, I may never go indoors with big crowds and feel comfortable without a mask,” she said.

“This is not something we're doing because it's, you know, sexually gratifying.”

What a odd thing to say. Makes one wonder if in fact there is actually is some perverse component to the craven obsequience.

Only Whoopi could compare mask wearing to sexual gratification.

And BTW:

“...because it’s, you know, sexually gratifying.”

Yuk! Caryn has lost her mind.

Heretic! Burn him!

I can't stand the smarmy little ba$+@rd, and I suspect he's just trying to get ahead of the curve as more and more people call BS on our new Fascist masters, but it is fun to watch the reaction of his lower IQ erstwhile allies.

Or maybe he's got enough Libertarian DNA to object as they try and load him on the cattle car. "Welcome to the party, Pal".

I fully support Whoopi wearing a mask in perpetuity.

That struck me as really weird, too. A normal person wouldn’t make that comparison.

I think he’s just figured out that the liberal pool is full and if he jumped in it no one would notice. But if he stand on the sidelines and harasses those who are already in, he gets attention and headlines, which ultimately translate to money for him.

In other words he has adopted the Ann Coulter business model.

Homely women love wearing the mask. It evens the playing field.

I suspect Maher actually has some honest opinions, firmly held, but he’s primarily a devil’s advocate. That’s what puts food on the table.
