Bill Maher lashes out at liberals who attack Cheryl Hines over RFK

Real time host Account Maher called out liberal critics who focused on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s woman Cheryl Hines about his support for the former president Donald Trump.

On Friday Real timeMaher noted that Hines’s Curb your enthusiasm co-star Larry David He once remarked that Hines was the only person in Hollywood who had no enemies.

“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,” Maher said.

Kennedy recently gave up his independent presidential campaign and is now supporting the former president Donald Trumpa decision he has made clear his wife did not support. Kennedy told TMZ that Hines’ reaction to the news of his endorsement was “the opposite of encouraging.”

Maher criticized the “offensive posers of the aforementioned far-left camp” for criticizing Hines over a decision she did not make herself.

“Thousands of people were yelling at Cheryl on Twitter saying things like, ‘How are you living with yourself?’ (and) ‘Do better,’ ‘I can’t even enjoy the episodes of Curb your enthusiasm “If I’m not in them with you anymore,” “it’s no wonder Larry divorced you!” Uh, yeah, that’s a character on TV, but okay,” he said.

Maher turned to actor Bradley Whitford among Hines’ critics. The West Wing star criticized Hines in an X-post for remaining “silent” while her “crazy” husband supported Trump.

“Hey @CherylHines what a way to remain silent while your insane husband supports a convicted rapist who brags about depriving women of their basic rights,” he wrote. “Courage. Great example to the kids. Profile in courage.”

“You know what I don’t think is brave?” Maher responded. “Calling a woman names, but not to her face, that she has to sacrifice her marriage so you can read something on Twitter that you approve of. You want to know why I hate the left more than I used to? It’s this kind of shit. There’s an ugliness to it that they never used to have.”

“The liberals I grew up with, respectfully — none of them are like that,” he said. “Going after women — Not even the Mafia does that!”

Maher accused Whitford and others of belonging to a group he calls “liberals in theory,” or liberals who claim to be against bullying but continue to bully anyway.

“There are a lot of people today who I would call liberals in theory. In theory, they hate bullying. Terribly. In practice, their attitude is, ‘It’s not bullying if I stick your head in the toilet.’ In theory, liberals are sympathetic,” Maher said. “In practice, this man can’t even understand one of the most basic dilemmas that all human beings have in common: that sometimes you have to put up with some shit when you’re married.”
