Maher, Matthews Get in Epic Brawl with GOP Guests Over Obamacare: GOP ‘Sabotaging a Law!’
Bill Maher opened his panel Friday night going right after the GOP for sticking to their guns, even with historically low poll numbers. He and Chris Matthews battled Republican James Glassman over Obamacare and the debt, with Matthews mockingly telling Glassman his idea for spending is too “stupid” to be taken seriously.
Glassman said he sympathizes with the defund Obamacare cause, but knew it was a failure from the start pushed by party “radicals.” Carol Roth argued the GOP should have let Obamacare go into effect and become a “hot mess” all on its own, but Matthews disputed the “glitches” talking point, and went off on the GOP, culminating in saying that they keep asking “When can we lynch him?”
Roth brought up the delays already implemented for Obamacare, but Matthews mockingly shot back, “If the airplane’s delayed an hour, get rid of airplanes!” Maher asked, “How come Obamacare is the worst thing ever, and yet Republicans defend Medicare?” He accused Republicans of “sabotaging a law” in a number of states just because they don’t like it, adding that the GOP is completely hypocritical on the debt because they don’t dare touch entitlements and defense spending.
When Glassman proposed cutting every government program by five percent, Maher shot back, “We did that, it’s called the sequester!” He told Glassman the issue is cutting “the shit we don’t need that you still want” and Matthews added, “Nobody would be stupid enough to do that.”
