Bill Maher Slams Bristol Palin and the Homophobic GOP
he host of ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ went after the GOP presidential candidates for not supporting the SCOTUS gay marriage ruling, and also Bristol Palin for her pregnancy.
“What a week!” exclaimed Bill Maher. “The Confederate flags are going down, and the rainbow flags are coming up—which made it a very weird week for Lindsey Graham.”
Indeed, it was one of the most eventful weeks in the Obama presidency. Following the racially-motivated Charleston massacre, public opinion turned against the Confederate flag, with even Republican politicians who’d been adamant supporters of the symbol of hatred and division reversing their stances and calling for the flag to be taken down.
And on Friday, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in a landmark 5-4 decision. Naturally, several of the GOP’s presidential candidates had choice words for the ruling.
“Of course, the Republican candidates for president are all against this—but they took the news with grace and good will. I’m joking, of course. They all went completely ape-shit and said crazy things,” said Maher. “‘We will not honor any decision,’ Rick Santorum said, ‘which will force us to violate our clear, biblical understanding.’ Mike Huckabee said, ‘The Supreme Court can’t overrule God.’ Bobby Jindal said, ‘This ruling paves the way for an all-out assault on religious freedoms of Christians.’ Fellas, you do realize that this is not mandatory. You don’t have to have sex with another man—it’s just an option now. OK, I just wanted to make that clear.”
“They’re such drama queens, aren’t they?” he added.
