Bill Maher’s recent outspokenness against liberals and Democrats has earned him praise by many on the political Right. Maher has been critical of woke politics, going so far as to warn of its dangers. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that he has shifted rightward. But the truth is Maher isn’t moving right. His recent statement suggesting the GOP doesn’t want black people on the Supreme Court shows he is the partisan drone he has always been.

On the latest episode of Real Time, Maher criticized Republicans for their questions during the Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearings. In addition to being apparently asleep during the Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett hearings, Maher then implied that most of the GOP is racist.
