Bill Maher Blasts Democrats for Being Too Afraid to Come on His Show: 'They're Such P***ies'

Bill Maher Blasts Democrats for Being Too Afraid to Come on His Show: ‘They’re Such P***ies’
Martin Holmes

Real Time host Bill Maher blasted Democrats such as former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Clintons for being too afraid to come on his show for an interview.

On the latest episode of his Club Random podcast, guest Will.i.am asked Maher who he’d love to interview but hasn’t yet had a chance to. The comedian replied, per Fox News Digital, “Ironically, mostly Democrats, [but] like, because they’re such p***ies, they won’t come on the show. Like the Clintons, I mean, you know, Kamala, I voted for you.”

Maher continued, “Democrats are p***ies about going anywhere that they’re not already pre-adored. Not all of them, but I mean, somebody… Kamala Harris, I mean, like I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You’re just why she lost.”
...
The late-night host also said that both political parties are “controlled by their fringes,” specifically pointing the finger at younger people. “They have the megaphone, especially on the left. Well, both… It’s younger people,” he explained. “Younger people on both sides are much more radical, and they’re better at social media. They’re better at media. They’re better at getting attention.”

He had some annoying quirks that rubbed people the wrong way, but often he said out loud the things many would not and he frequently spoke truth to power in commendable ways.

Then came the pandemic and lockdowns. I don't know if Maher changed or if he became more the person he really was all along, but he became more obnoxious as time passed. Personally, I think he is facing growing old and is not handling it gracefully. That said, I really don't understand why he still has a show.

15. Why has *rump never appeared on his show even though Maher said he would contribute 5 million to charity in 2013
Sat May 23, 2026, 05:42 PM
May 23

if he did so?

How many people starved or went hungry because *rump was too much of a coward to appear on Maher's critically acclaimed program?

If Maher is that judgmental of Democrats electing not to appear on his show, what does that make *rump being too afraid to face the brutal interview Maher would've given him in public with the tragic cost of 5 million dollars not going to charity?

We could've found out what *rump's favorite color was...other than gold.

Instead we just have to take Maher's word for it from their private dinner in the White House sometime after January 6th was under our belt that *rump was a nice guy.

Thanks for the thread SocialDemocrat

He could be funny in the nineties -- but then he fell for Ann Coulter's idiotic idea that obnoxious adoloescent noise was a good substitute for humor, and I stopped following him

He sounds like he's gotten stuck in Middle School

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Real_Time_with_Bill_Maher_episodes

Scanning several years, then concentrating on 2025 and 2026, there are more important current Democrats than Republicans, including governors, Senators and congresspeople

He complains that he can't get the Clintons of Kamala Harris. However, when out of office Trump never appeared, nor did Mike Pence. I think it would be weird for a former President to do. The only VP I saw listed was Al Gore. However, Josh Shapiro, Gavin Newsome, and Governor Behear - three oft mentioned 2028 candidates all were.
