Here’s why Bill Maher and John Fetterman are MAGA’s favorite liberals
In a new podcast episode, the HBO host and Democratic senator whine about mean lefties, while giggling at Trump’s misogynistic insults and whitewashing his lawlessness.
By Anthony L. Fisher

There are plenty of reasons why Bill Maher and John Fetterman are often praised as rare reasonable liberals by President Donald Trump’s supporters and fellow travelers.

The “Real Time” host and the Democratic junior senator from Pennsylvania both nurse grievances that they have been unfairly mistreated by “the left.” (Maher recently claimed to have been a victim of “soft-canceling” because his HBO show has never been awarded an Emmy.) They are both strident supporters of Israel’s ruling far-right government. And, as evidenced by Fetterman’s appearance Monday on Maher’s podcast, “Club Random” — where the gimmick is that the 70-year-old host openly drinks alcohol and smokes weed — they both have a tendency to bend over backward to praise Trump or otherwise whitewash some of his most inexcusable behavior.

Right off the bat, the two invoked a truly tiresome, faux-“politically homeless” bromide. Maher lamented, “Everything becomes a political battle. Everything is just an excuse to say your team is stupid and my team is great. It has nothing to do with anything.”

As an example, Maher cited the controversy over Trump building the White House ballroom and parroted the MAGA line that such a construction project is urgently needed after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month. Maher described the ballroom’s cost as “couch money,” and Fetterman ascribed the backlash to “TDS” (Trump derangement syndrome) — the abbreviation the lazy brain uses to dismiss any and all criticism of Trump.

1. I would not consider Maher a liberal despite what he calls himself.

He is an entertainer. As for Fetterman I politely have no comment.

[SocialDemocrat61]

15. Neither do I

[58Sunliner]

6. That senator in question ...

doesn't dare walk the streets of a Pennsylvania town these days.
No politician in history has been hated here as much as he is right now.

10. Well, Ted Cruz

is right up there. I know plenty of conservatives, having lived in Texas for 70 years But I don't know a single 1 who admits to voting for Cruz.

[SocialDemocrat61]

16. Yes they are!

[3_Limes]

4. Neither is a liberal.

Neither is a friend to our causes. I wish we could stop expecting them to act like they are. They're not.

[SocialDemocrat61]

12. Yes

They are not.

[Johonny]

5. Both are victims of Trumpnass kissing syndrome

Where your desire to be loved by Trump makes you support stupid ass shit you'd not support if any other human being had done it...

[SocialDemocrat61]

22. Trumpnass kissing syndrome!!!

Lol

[Quiet Em]

7. If you took a transcript of their conversation

and replaced Maher's name with Greg Gutfeld and Fetterman's name with Lindsey Graham it would read just like your typical MAGA man conversation. There is nothing liberal about either of these two. They both have made it clear that they like and support the con artist and they like and support what he is doing. They are no different from Gutfeld and Graham in my opinion.

26. Don't doubt it

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. Maher is not a liberal

He is a professional knee-jerk contrarian libertarian.

[SocialDemocrat61]

21. Well said 👏

[Ms. Toad]

9. You have to be a liberal to be a favorite liberal.

Both fail the first criteria.

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. True

[JCMach1]

14. Maher liberal?

More like left libertarian asshat...

[SocialDemocrat61]

17. Well said

[GenThePerservering]

18. Maybe 'attention whores' is appropriate nt

[SocialDemocrat61]

20. Good one 👍

19. Neither strike me as liberals or democrats for that matter

Maher is an obnoxious “comedian”. He was funny on occasion, many years ago. Now he’s just a boring scold.

I just won’t say what I think about Fetterman. As much I disliked Manchin and Sinema, he’s still worse than either of them. The former came from a very red state and still managed to vote for Trump’s conviction in both impeachment trials. I couldn’t see Fetterman doing that. Sinema was just looking for a way to cash in. Fetterman strikes me as similar.

If he’s intending to leave, he should do so quickly. I’m not interested in a slow drip political intrigue Schumer at this point should offer him nothing to stay, if he intends to go.

[SocialDemocrat61]

23. Because they aren't

[Emile]

24. They are centrist.

[SocialDemocrat61]
