Maher slams left-wing activists who attacked RFK Jr.’s wife: ‘Even the Mafia doesn’t do that’

Liberal comedian Bill Maher lashed out at the left this week for his attacks on Cheryl Hines, the wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., over her husband’s decision to support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Maher made the comments Friday night on his HBO show “Real Time” while discussing the attacks the actress has faced since her husband expressed his support late last month.

“His wife is Cheryl Hines, who Larry David described as ‘the best person I’ve ever met, the only person in Hollywood who doesn’t have a single enemy,'” Maher said.

“Well, she does now, because she didn’t throw her husband under the bus when he made a decision about something she clearly didn’t agree with, but that didn’t please the annoying posers of the aforementioned far-left wing.”

He noted that Hines received thousands of harassing messages on social media, attacking her for not speaking out against her husband.

“You want to know why I’m more bothered by the left than I used to be?” he asked. “It’s such s***. There’s an ugliness that they never had before. The liberals I grew up with aren’t like that. Going after women? Even the mafia doesn’t do that.”

“There are a lot of people today who I call liberals in theory,” he continued. “In theory, they hate bullying, it’s terrible. In practice, their attitude is: It’s not bullying if I stick your head in the toilet. In theory, liberals are sympathetic. In practice, this man can’t even understand one of the most basic dilemmas that all human beings have in common, which is that sometimes you have to swallow a little shit when you’re married.”
