Comedian Bill Maher and actress Cheryl Hines, the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., agreed that the political left is intolerant of them even though they aren’t conservatives during a conversation on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast.
“I think it would be a tragedy, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the case, that you would lose jobs because this is, it’s funny, it’s a town that loves to romanticize the period in the ’50s when there was a blacklist. And as they should, because it was a terrible blacklist, but they have their own kind of blacklist now. It’s not like they aren’t sort of recapitulating that, when it was a witch hunt about communists, now it’s a witch hunt for people who aren’t woke enough. You know, it’s not like we’re conservatives,” Maher said.
Maher spoke with Hines about how he was criticized by liberals for meeting with President Donald Trump earlier this year, despite his frequent attacks against him and his policies.
