Introducing her as my good frenemy, Bill Maher welcomed far-right punditand outspoken racistAnn Coulter to his Real Time program Friday night. And the timing, at least as far as Maher is concerned, couldnt have been any better, given that Coulter had not only advised President Trump to shut down the government in order to fund his border wall pet project but called him out when he caved, branding her former idol the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.
For the viewers at home, however, it wasnt so great.
Coulter began by railing against Trump breaking the promise he made every day for 18 months and when sarcastically queried by Maher as to what her first clue was that Trump was a lying conman, she laughed.
OK, Im a very stupid girl, fine, Coulter conceded. She then proceeded to blame immigration from the southern border on employers.
The Koch brothersthey want it. Rupert Murdoch wants it Why hasnt Trump been able to get it through for the first two years? Because the Republicans dont want it, she continued, rambling incoherently. Its all of mass immigration, its our legal immigration, its no E-Verify. The wall is a big part of that, and youre being played to have everyone keep acting like this is some racist thing.

(42,862 posts)Why does he give her a national platform to spew her venom? Just because she's "in the news" does not make her newsworthy (as he suggests). He only continues to diminish himself and my opinion of him continues to sink lower and lower.

(42,862 posts)... and when Milo was arguing IN FAVOR of laws that force transgender citizens to use public restrooms according to their birth gender, Bill just caved and conceded "well, you've got a point there".
Bill Maher may donate to Democrats when it suits HIS purposes (for show, for boasting and bragging rights, to try and build his street-cred) but he's no friend of Democrats or of the Democratic party.
Other than that, I'm sure he's a nice guy.
