A major flaw in his argument is that people have been saying that ALL humans are descendants of apes.... you know... evolution...

He should have been fired a long time ago along with other liberal TV hosts.......but since over 90% of TV & news outlets are owned by left wing liberals, they control the narrative of brainwashing america.

Fox news asked 7 millennials if they would rather date a Trump supporter or an MS-13 gang member, & 5 of them said a gang member, one said neither, & 1 for Trump

Not a big sample size at all......but watching this made me realize have screwed up people are with reality of what's really going on......seems like the mainstream media & liberals have done their job during Obamas years & molded their brains.

Maher could have easily backed free speech and defended Roseanne. Hypocrite.

Bill Maher says his Trump-orangutan jokes are not the same as Roseanne's 'ape' tweets



HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher defended himself Friday night after critics spent part of the week equating his past jokes -- likening President Donald Trump to an orangutan -- to Roseanne Barr's Twitter post about a former adviser to President Barack Obama.


Many of the critics called for HBO to fire Maher, just as ABC fired Barr despite this year's success of her rebooted "Roseanne" comedy series.

During his opening monologue, Maher said four “key facts” made his ape jokes different than Barr’s tweet, in which Barr had referred to Valerie Jarrett, a black woman and former Obama top aide, using an allusion to the "Planet of the Apes" movies.


“One, Trump is an orangutan,” Maher said. “Two, white people have not been subjected to a racist trope comparing them to apes for hundreds of years.”

Maher’s third explanation was that his joke was a response to Trump’s 2013 accusations that President Obama was not born in America and called for the release of the president’s birth certificate.


“And four, I’ve already been fired by ABC,” Maher said, referring to his "Politically Incorrect" program, which aired from 1993 to 2002.


Some of Maher's critics contend he has been able to keep his HBO show on the air because he is a liberal, while Roseanne, “a free-thinking Trump supporter,” was fired.

“Wait, Bill Maher makes comparisons to Trump being a gorilla all the time,” tweeted conservative activist Charlie Kirk, director of Turning Point USA, a nonprofit that says it tries to educate students on "true free-market values."


Maher's comments "get classified as ‘jokes’ by the media and he is of course allowed to keep his show and not have his life ruined,” Kirk said.

But Maher himself is familiar with getting into hot water for inappropriate comments.

ABC canceled Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” in 2002 following comments he made about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The comedian argued that “the labeling of terrorists as cowards was hypocritical, and that we [the U.S.] have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away,” Bustle reported.

In an incident last year, Maher apologized after he was criticized for calling himself a “house n----r” on his HBO show. The network later removed his comment from future airings of the episode, calling it “inexcusable.”


Fucking bullshit!!!!! Show was cancelled nearly a year after his coward comments, in June!!! Ratings were down!!!!

Why do you guys continue to think free speech=not being able to be fired from your job because of your speech, as long as you are a liberal/democrat?

Fixed it for you, and that statement would be 100% fact....
