Take a moment to think about those on the political left. On his HBO show “Real Time,” Bill Maher expressed his dismay at the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump but also pointed out that others have been metaphorically hurt as well.
“I unequivocally denounce [the shooting], I don’t care what you think about that. Not funny. I’m sure that there will be jokes that people will make because they hate him so much that they wished it went the other way. Not for me,” Maher started.
Maher went on to suggest that while Trump may prevail politically, he also highlighted the cost to his hard-left opponents, who saw their assumed “high moral ground” pulled out from under their saintly feet.
“Whoever did this, the shooter has done so much damage to the Left,” he said.
“The Left has lost a lot moral high ground in the ‘you’re the violent people’ and the ‘liberals don’t shoot people, liberals don’t solve it that way,’” he added.
He quickly added that luck has been on Trump’s side:
“But I’m glad Trump’s okay. I gotta say this: He’s the luckiest motherfucker that has ever walked the face of the Earth. In 2016, he lost the popular vote by a lot, he pulled an inside straight [in the Electoral College] to win — everything happened in his way.”
“The Democratic turmoil that’s going on right now with Joe Biden being his opponent. Always lucky, lucky, lucky.”
The gunman who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday night has been identified, and details about his background have been disclosed.
The FBI has identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, but officials have not disclosed any further details about him or his motives.
