Bill Maher chided pre-Elon Twitter, took a comedic swipe at Hunter Biden, jabbed Justin Trudeau over vaccine mandates and even gave a shoutout to the Babylon Bee in a Friday night airing of “Real Time” that could have the cancel mob reaching for the pitchforks.
Maher, the liberal news and comedy host who seems increasingly at odds with the strident far left that once worshiped him, told his audience he was not all that twisted about the world’s richest man taking over Twitter.
“Has Twitter failed in setting itself up in the past as the judge of what can go out there? And I would say yes, you have,” Maher said, addressing the deposed regime at the San Francisco-based social media platform. “You failed when you threw the New York Post off of Twitter for talking about Hunter Biden’s emails. And it turned out that was a real story. You failed when you said we couldn’t read about whether COVID had come from a lab. You failed!”
Maher blasted Twitter for labeling as “sensitive” a video by conservative satire site The Babylon Bee, which mocked Twitter staffers horrified at the prospect of working for Musk.
