The late-night comedian says that it’s «liberal states that are under siege from federal overreach.» VIDEO
Late-night comedian Bill Maher capped off HBO’s “Real Time” on Friday night with a passionate message to the federal government: back off. After he pointed out that California’s Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown with China to work on reducing emissions, Maher said that conservatives “can’t complain” when liberal states refuse orders from the federal government. They also “can’t complain when our local law enforcement refuses to cooperate with [President Donald] Trump’s deportation squad.” He added that conservatives can’t complain when California cities threaten “to deny contracts to any firm that helps build the border wall.” In reality, the late-night comedian explained, liberals are “just following in long and hallowed conservative tradition called states’ rights.” “It’s just that now we’re that state that wants to be left alone!” Maher said, referring to California.
