Maher Urges Dems to Forgive Al Franken Ahead of 2020 (includes video)
On Friday night, Bill Maher called for a restoration of former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) in order to defeat President Donald Trump in 2020. Maher believes Trump’s “kryptonite” is “ridicule.”
“The one thing that gets under his skin, besides red dye #2, is being made fun of,” Maher said. “We need someone who should shred Trump like a standup takes down a heckler because Trump is a heckler. And to fight him, we need a comedian,” Maher insisted.
The Real Time host believed Franken is “good enough, smart enough, and dog gone it, people still like him” and mocked “purists” who would invoke the allegations made against him, saying America always “overreacts” and then has “buyers remorse.”
Maher then gave a full-throated defense of Franken, pointing out his first accuser Leeann Tweeden is friendly with folks like Sean Hannity and Donald Trump Jr. and that the infamous photo Franken took was only a joke and “no one died.” Maher added that “being touchy feely” is “part of the job” as a politician. “Have you ever met Joe Biden? It’s like meeting a great dane who smells bacon on your clothes,” he joked.
