Bill Maher on MSNBC: ‘It’s About Time’ We Call Trump a ‘Traitor’
So much has happened in the news since Bill Maher closed out his 16th season of Real Time on HBO back in November that he couldn’t wait until this coming Friday’s 17th season premiere to share his thoughts. The comedian spent about 10 minutes chopping it up with MSNBC host Chris Matthews Tuesday evening, tackling everything from the latest revelations about Trump and Putin to the Steve King debacle and more.
Asked by the Hardball host right off the bat what he makes of Trump reportedly “working for the bad guys” in Russia, Maher replied, “It’s about time.”
“I’ve been using the word ‘treason’ and ‘traitor’ for the whole time he’s been in office and every guest has been saying I was an alarmist and I was overstating the case,” he continued. “I don’t hear that anymore. I hear those words used a lot more.”
