‘We’re in a post-democracy world’: Bill Maher has unhinged meltdown after Trump impeachment fails

Published February 1, 2020 7:16pm ET



I’m a fan of Bill Maher. I watch the liberal HBO host and comedian’s show, Real Time with Bill Maher, just about every Friday, in large part for his ferocious criticism of woke culture and his willingness to savage his own side (like he did this week by hilariously mocking Elizabeth Warren’s promise to let a transgender child pick her education secretary). But Maher is, bless his heart, completely stricken with Trump Derangement Syndrome, and boy, did this week’s show make that clear.

On Friday, President Trump’s impeachment trial came more or less to a close after the Senate voted not to subpoena any additional witnesses. The Republican-controlled chamber is expected to vote to acquit the president this Wednesday. And, of course, liberals and anti-Trump conservatives alike are well within their rights to be disappointed that Trump will not face removal from office. Yet even then, Maher’s on-air meltdown was nothing short of unhinged.
