Surprise: Bill Maher, Who Has Raged Against Nazi Platner, Endorses Him

Bill Maher attempts to act as a responsible Democrat, the type from the Bill Clinton era, but, at the end of the day he’s like all the rest: power is the only thing that matters

Bill Maher makes shocking recommendation in Maine Senate race after Graham Platner’s ‘scary behavior’

Comedian Bill Maher threw his weight behind Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner, despite his “scary behavior,” arguing that flipping the Senate for Dems is more important than his Nazi tattoo or cheating scandal.

HBO’s “Real Time” host said that Democrats’ retaking the Senate in November would be a critical check on President Trump, and argued that America is rife with “a lot of broken, horribly educated, phone-addicted, sort of nutty people” anyway.

“Let’s get real about Graham Platner,” Maher said during his Friday show.

“The big story is the Democrats can likely take back the Senate in November if they win Maine. But their local candidate, official now up there, is after the primary this week, let’s just say, a guy who has a backstory that screams, ‘Don’t ask.’”

“I would still urge the folks in Maine to vote for him, for two reasons,” Maher explained after rattling through Platner’s string of scandals. “One, we need to restore balance in our government, and a Democratic Senate would help a lot with that.”

“And two, get used to it. America is a country filled with a lot of broken, horribly educated, phone-addicted, sort of nutty people. And as long as we live in a representative democracy, we are always electing our reflection in the mirror. I wish the tattoo was the scariest thing about Platner. It’s not. That would be his solution to a home invasion, which is to rape the home invader.”

And, yet, Maher still wants people in Maine to vote for Platner

Dems are trying to play the “this was in the past” card, but, they went after Mitt Romney over a haircut in high school, saying it was relevant. All Democrats care about is power, and there’s virtually nothing that will disqualify someone if Democrats think they can win a seat. If this were a midterm where there was no chance of retaking the Senate, they might have let him go, but, not now. And Bill is the perfect example of a Democrat who acts and talks reasonable, but, truly isn’t.
