His New Rules is the worst comedy, you might as well switch the channel. They are childish and he gets annoyed if he doesn't get laughs.

I experience Bill Maher as the flip side of Ann Coulter.
They are both very bright and funny, highly partisan, highly irritating, love to troll and outrage and cross PC lines, and are actually friends in private....

He goes on to talk about how Yang did not want the SNL writer to be fired, and how liberals subsequently called Yang a racist. Then some more interesting points on “white shaming”.

I thought he was spot on here. No doubt, some more liberals will go on to disown him for his continued blasphemy.

Andrew Yang doesnt speak for all Asians

And trying to appease conservative white people is also a thing.

So Bill Maher doesnt get to play stupid.

Because they are the only fans he has left and they LOVE him.

Actually, they have acknowledged their friendship publicly on several occasions.

These days it seems political foes are supposed to hate each other. I liked it better back when we could disagree on politics and still respect one another.

Bill's audience is generally liberal...not at all to the right. You must live in Berkeley or Cambridge.

Exactly.
All people, regardless of color, can hold racist ideas about their own groups, because racist ideas and what is normal and right (White is the correct answer) has been brainwashed into us. It requires the use of intellect and inquiry to get rid of it and see racism for what it is.
