Bill Maher Bashes Pete Hegseth as ‘Worst Thing to Hit the Pentagon’ Since 9/11
Breitbart ^ | 04.28.2025 | Paul Bois

Posted on 04/28/2025 7:22:46 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Comedian Bill Maher recently bashed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, calling him the “worst thing to hit the Pentagon” since the September 11 terrorist attack.

Maher delivered his hit against Hegseth during his “New Rule” segment on Friday night’s episode of his HBO show.

“New Rule: Pete Hegsteth’s parents have to take away his phone. He can have it back when he’s shown us he’s grown up enough to use it responsibly,” Maher said.

“I’m not saying Pete makes a terrible defense secretary, but he’s the worst thing to hit the Pentagon since Flight 77,” he added.

Bill Maher’s joke referenced the time National Security Adviser Mike Waltz mistakenly included The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg in a group Signal chat wherein Hegseth and other members of the Trump administration discussed sensitive details about U.S. military strikes in Yemen. Weeks later, another report alleged that Hegseth created a Signal messaging chat that included his wife and brother, granting them access to sensitive military discussions.

Maher is just trying to make up with the radical left.

This is a good reminder for those who have recently warmed to Maher.

A leopard doesn’t change its spots.

He is not a comedian, and they are not jokes.

He is a political commentator who promotes leftist views by calling the commentary humor.

It got worse. He had Al Gore on the show. I turned it off. Then there’s Bret Stephens, a ‘conservative’ commentator who trashed Trump. What a joke.

Sounds that way to me, too.
Maher just goes too far. 9/11? good grief.
Barbara Olson was on flight 77 when it hit the Pentagon. Bill should apologize. Actual People were murdered in that attack.

Evidently so. There are ways to criticize Hegseth without making a repulsive joke about 9/11.

Maher was doing pretty good there for awhile. Maybe someone at HBO read him the riot act.

Hegseth must irritate some pretty powerful people IMHO.

There's a reason these are called 'shows'.

Poor taste joke…..he should stick to these kinds for edgy

Pope Francis was the first pope from South America. So his body will rest in repose in the Vatican for eight days, and then ICE will toss him in a van and ship him to El Salvador.

“Bill Maher’s joke referenced the time National Security Adviser Mike Waltz mistakenly included The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg in a group Signal”

Mistakenly, yeah. Walz is a globalist, and has been friends with Goldberg. And his Chinese neocon family assistant added Goldberg in.

This was all part of a larger scheme to remove Hegseth and put that closet homo idiot Tom Cotton in.

No he did not. It is all an act with him

He is a leftist

One tactic leftists have done especially in the past few years is cozy up to some conservative, get the conservatives to fawn like idiots then bash, with a new conservative audience

Maher has some angle where he is pushing for hegseth to be gone

I pay no attention to this profanity dependent show man.
