Bill Maher: Trump Shooter ‘Has Done So Much Damage to the Left’
Breitbart ^ | 07/15/2024 | SIMON KENT

Posted on 07/15/2024 6:32:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Please stop and spare a thought for those on the political left. Bill Maher has affirmed he was appalled by the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump but qualified it by adding others have been metaphorically hurt as well.

He opened his Saturday comedy show by stating, “I unequivocally denounce [the shooting], I don’t care what you think about that. Not funny. I’m sure that there will be jokes that people will make because they hate him so much that they wished it went he other way. Not for me.”

Maher then continued that Trump may be the political winner at the ballot box but also was quick to point out the cost to his hard-left opponents who had the assumed “high moral ground” pulled out from under their saintly feet. Maher lamented:

Whoever did this, the shooter has done so much damage to the Left.

[The Left] has lost a lot moral high ground in the ‘you’re the violent people’ and the ‘liberals don’t shoot people, liberals don’t solve it that way.’

The greatest day of this year will be on election day when these haters realize that they will face 4 years of leadership by the person they hate the most. It will be quite satisfying, along with the implementation of sound policies.

THE LEFT HAS NEVER HELD ONE SQUARE INCH OF MORAL HIGH GROUND!

Yes, indeed. You never know which Bill Maher will show up, the classical liberal or the slimy leftist hack. His take on the assassination attempt seems to be an odd mix of the two.

I'll bet his fax machine was eagerly receiving talking points from the White House Situation Room.

HERE’S THE QUESTION:

IS THE LEFT CAPABLE OF DOING ...ANYTHING...ANYTHING THAT ISN’T VIOLENT???
WHAT A SAD PATHITIC GROUP OF PEOPLE THEY ARE.

Hey it’s nothing to the innocent man the shooter killed, as the father of two girls covered them from harm with his own body when the shooting started, and died saving them. Oh and two others in critical condition, those present who saw death and blood, the nation which saw the depravity behind it all. But Bill’s worried about how it impacted the LEFT???

Because it's likely the shooter may have been subject to mind control by something akin to the CIA's MK ULTRA program but done by one of the many "consulting firms" located near Washington, DC for plausible deniability reasons.

Trump should make an add which pictures Biden with that silly grin and pointing finger that says “We’ve got to put Trump in the bullseye”.

Maher is a self-serving progressive. He is totally predictable.

So they are all sad that Hitler incarnate wasn’t assassinated? Am I understanding this correctly?

Pretty much and that thinking was fairly widespread long before this past weekend.

Key phrase: Left’s theme. Nothing they believe about themselves is true. Conceited, smug, gullible, hateful, immoral, ignorant and proud of it.

"A week ago, the Left’s theme was that the violence was 100% on the Right and the Right was a terrorist threat. This week, that is 100% changed."

Only to the extent that the "theme" (that the violence is 100% on the left), would now be aligned with reality. But even as we speak (type) the left is working overtime to muddy those waters and equivocate, so as to minimize the damage to their "moral" standing.

Maher and John Leibowitz (Stewart) need to STFU. They have gotten by for years being clever and cutting edge when in reality they are scripted clowns with zero integrity willing to say the dumbest things for ratings.
