'West Wing' Star's Wife Unloads on Bill Maher for Attacking Him [View all]

‘West Wing’ Star’s Wife Unloads on Bill Maher for Attacking Him
Owen Mason Hill

Actress Amy Landecker lambasted “hypocrite” Bill Maher for using her husband, Bradley Whitford, as a liberal punching bag.

“If Bill Maher wants to come after my fricking husband one more time and complain about the fact that people who are known are having an opinion. Who is he? What is he famous for? Just being known and having an opinion?” Landecker, 56, said with Whitford by her side on Obsessed: The Podcast. “And then coming after him and going, ‘Oh, you’re the worst kind of liberal.’ Well, to me, he’s the worst kind of hypocrite.”
...
“First of all, why are you so grumpy? You are literally the most angry stoner I’ve ever met in my entire life,” Landecker said. “Plus, your show has never been bigger, so shut up about being canceled.”

“He is worried about cancel culture on this, his 35th year of hosting a show,” Whitford agreed. “He’s a comedian talking about politics, and he doesn’t want anyone else to express an opinion!”
