https://thehill.com/homenews/media/483231-bill-maher-booed-on-hbo-show-after-mocking-liberals-for-calling-bloomberg

https://youtu.be/f1qjK1EfQiY

HBO's Bill Maher drew boos on his show Friday night, with the live studio audience taking exception to the "Real Time" host mocking liberals for calling 2020 presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg racist over his role as mayor in New York City's stop-and-frisk policy.
"Bernie Sanders won Iowa and New Hampshire. Hes also leading in the national polls, which means we have a new front-runner," Maher said in his opening monologue. "Michael Bloomberg? What the f---?"
"Well, Bloomberg must be the front-runner because liberals are calling him a racist," Maher added to a chorus of boos from the audience in Los Angeles.

"Keep booing. Thats how you lost the last election," Maher said with a smirk.

"Bloomberg does have some blind spots, Im not going to lie about that. Hes not too good on pot either," Maher said to more boos.
"But hey, I will happily vote for him if he is the winning bidder," Maher said, adding that President Trump "loves to mock Bloomberg for being short, but hes not short on cash. He has got ads everywhere. Have you seen this? Theyre on Facebook. Theyre on YouTube. Theyre on television. I saw one on CENSORED. The title was 'Rich Daddy Pays for It.'"

Why does Bill even have an audience if they're going to always be these sheltered dumb liberals.

I'd hardly call that "defending" him. It was just a (bad) joke. Maher says a lot of dumb shit but this board gets so pissy when he says anything.

"Well, Bloomberg must be the front-runner because liberals are calling him a racist,"

Which means Maher thinks the criticism is not valid.

And infact Maher is going to vote for him.

Oh but totally not defending him?

It means he thinks liberals call people they don't like racists. He's not exactly commenting on whether Bloomberg is racist or not.

And he'll vote for him if the choice is between him or Trump. Y'all are so sheltered if this offends you.

Wow, Alt-Right Mahar is defending that racist conservative Bloomberg. - Proclaimed the Bernouts that repeatedly excuse or defend Bernie Sanders openly racist rhetoric of stating we cant let more immigrants in legally because they depress wages and steal jobs.

Maher is a libertarian (alt-right conservative who likes pot) who treats politics like it's a team sport. He already picked Team Blue a long time ago and he's sticking with them.

everyone knows Bloomberg is racist. Someone not listing out every racist thing Bloomberg says during his 7 minute monologue does not mean he's defending him lol.

He self-identifies as a Democrat. Liking pot is not nor has ever been inconsistent with that.

He's a boomer who thinks that the most Liberal thing in the world is recycling cans on your private jet and spending your money on expensive wine to look smug

He's the scum celebrity wing of the Democratic party

It's pointless to read that much into a late-night monologue. The real discussion happened later in the show (although I don't remember if it was during the panel or Over Time). iirc, Maher framed the question as if people were being too tough on Bloomberg but stopped fighting back when a panelist pointed out that Maher's quote was incomplete and problematic. It seemed to me like he accepted the correction.
