Maher warns that liberals are “not helping” Trump supporters by closing them as racist

Talk show host Bill Maher called out liberal writers on Saturday Night Live for portrayal of conservatives, claiming to have used outdated stereotypes.

Maher spoke about the current state of American culture with fitness icon and commentator Gillian Michaels. Episodes of “Club Random” Released on Sunday. After Maher spoke of Trump’s unique charm as a pointless outsider willing to be called “deplorable” by his detractors, Michaels was surprised that Democrats are still closing his supporters.

“The whole thing is ‘deplorable’,” Michaels said. Hillary Clinton, the then-democratic candidate, notoriously smeared Trump supporters as a “deplorable basket,” saying “they still do.”

Michaels recalls meeting an outspoken liberal actor Tom Hanks Many times he has said he was “nice” in person, but he crossed the boundaries of Trump supporters on Saturday Night Live. Hanks painted a caricature of a messy racist Southernar wearing a Maga hat named “Doug” in a sketch comedy show. At one famous moment in the repeated “black danger” sketch, Doug initially slams into the Black Host’s waving and eventually relents.

Tom Hanks hammered for “disgusting” portrayal of white Trump supporters in SNL skits

“I hated it too and said it on the show. I know. I hated it. I hated it. I didn’t like it. Instead of shaking hands with black people, I put on a magazine hat. “I mean, they have problems and I certainly have problems with them and me, but they’re common. Of course, I have racists in places that are so bad, but in general, all the magazine people I know have no problem shaking hands with black people.”

Maher then appeared to speak to the people behind such portrayals by declaring, “You’re just hysterical and you’re not helping.”

Maher called such a smear of Trump supporters “zombie lies.”

“What I hate is what I call a zombie. Don’t lie to me,” he said. “It’s a lie that people in Maga don’t shake hands – I got it, it’s part of the skit, it’s an exaggeration, it’s comedy. It’s just a bit too sensitive to go there.

One of the rules of comedy is that the comedian himself, Maher, says that a good joke requires an element of observational truth about the world within it.

“But I’m telling you as a liberal, I don’t like it,” he said. “Again, because You lie and make me mad. I’m a comedian. When the premise is not authentic, I can’t go with it – the jokes don’t work. The premise must sound the truth. That premise is not true. It may have sounded with truth, I don’t know, x years ago. That’s not the case now. So, you know – but it’s one of us. Everyone needs to play the hatred card. Because it clicks. That’s what you love. ”
