Hillary Clinton can rest assured that she has at least two Bills in her corner.
Comedian Bill Maher performed the difficult task of defending Clinton on Twitter Tuesday following her overwhelmingly-criticized press conference earlier that day regarding her use of a private e-mail account while serving as secretary of State.
“Press conf was good 4 Hillary cuz showed she can take a beating from infantile press over utter bullshit and thats all our politics is about,” Maher wrote in the tweet while most rational people were either knocking Clinton for her insufficient and hypocritical excuses or wondering whether the revelations are, in fact, exactly the opposite of “utter bullshit.”

Things sure are easier to address on Twitter.
While a few responders praised Maher — or at least didn’t bash him — most were predictably critical or downright outraged.
@billmaher can’t wait to see you defend this (no, seriously)

@billmaher did we watch the same presser? Dumpster fire.

@billmaher Come on man, If this was Dick Cheney? You wouldn’t even be able to type, you would be so hoarse.

@billmaher yeah. Deleting government emails = bullshit. Covering up watergate and deleting tapes? Bullshit. What a joke.

Maher appears to stand alone — even from Jon Stewart and Democrats — in his dismissal of the e-mail controversy. Perhaps there’s a role open for him on the budding Hillary presidential campaign.
Nevertheless, though Maher might be unconventional in his opinion, he sure can still crack a good joke about the Clinton controversy:
Hillary’s emails? I want to see Bill’s: Hey,Epstein,gas up the plane, let’s go to Sex Island! I want to be balls deep in Russian whore soon!
