Bill Maher says Freedom 250 concert exits make Dems look unpatriotic
Taijuan Moorman
Bill Maher thinks the Freedom 250 concert exits are a bad look for Democrats.
The host of HBO's "Real Time" said during a segment of the June 5 episode that the previous acts set to perform at the Great American State Fair, from President Donald Trump's nonprofit Freedom 250, are now making it seem like they don't "love America."
"This is a question about what looks best for the Democrats, because I don't think that looks good," he said. "It looks like you are just what people say about you, you don't really love America. It looks [as if] you think Trump is more important than the country itself."

Like a FAUX News host, Maher spins any story into an excuse to attack democrats.

Maher should look again. He needs glasses. Maher's perception is almost as bad as the job market.

I was just reading that he braced Wanda Sykes in a parking lot over a joke she made about him.

So why doesn't he volunteer to perform, patriotic American that he is. Sorry, Bill. The king doesn't pay.

Um, Bill? Trump actually cancelled the "Concert 250" concerts so he could have another rally

TRUMP thinks he's more important than the country itself! Funny he doesn't mention THAT.
