They won the House, but liberal pundits didn’t take a week off from squealing at President Trump, as this week’s Liberal Media Scream focus on left-wing comic Sarah Silverman shows.
Appearing on the anti-Trump “Real Time with Bill Maher,” she compared the president to a Nazi and said he is fanning “domestic terrorism.”
On the Friday night HBO show, she called Trump anti-Semitic as she asserted, “It is not lost on me that I am very lucky that I get a star and I don’t have to sew it on my clothes.” A few minutes later, she charged Trump’s rhetoric has fueled violence: “He knows he can start a fight and he doesn’t have to finish it because someone else will finish it for him, and that’s his role in domestic terrorism.”
Silverman, host of Hulu’s “I Love You, America,” pivoted from Maher, noting she had been awarded a star on Hollywood’s “Walk of Fame,” to an ugly quip about Trump:
“In a time, Bill, where anti-Semitic crime is up 57 percent since this douchebag has taken office, it is not lost on me that I am very lucky that I get a star and I don’t have to sew it on my clothes.”
Minutes later, she said:
“It’s been exactly two weeks since he announced he was a nationalist, and in that time, there’s been two mass shootings and 14 bombs sent to every single person that he targets in his speeches, his rhetoric, over and over again. He knows he can start a fight and he doesn’t have to finish it because someone else will finish it for him, and that’s his role in domestic terrorism.”
Both lines earned audience applause.
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: “Silverman tries to disguise vile commentary and name-calling as humorous quips, but she isn’t fooling anyone — or making anyone laugh who doesn’t already hate Trump. She puts her left-wing political agenda and disgust for Trump ahead of being funny.”
Rating: Five out of five screams.
