Bill Maher, known for his critical stance on Donald Trump, has not shied away from taking shots at Vice President Kamala Harris. During a recent segment of his show, Maher aimed his humor at Harris, questioning her popularity and effectiveness as a leader.
“On the Democrats’ best issue, abortion, she’s a walking reminder to women that Republicans are coming for the abortion pill. She won’t just protect Plan B, she is Plan B,” Maher joked to his audience, highlighting his concerns about Harris’s role in the Democratic Party.
Maher continued his critique by addressing Harris’s potential historical significance. “Harris would be the first woman president, first black woman president, and first Asian president. But I don’t vote for who will be the first. I vote for who will win. And for whatever reason, Harris has never been popular. You can count the number of delegates she won in the 2020 primaries on one hand. As long as that hand has no fingers,” he said, eliciting thunderous applause.
He also took jabs at her career as a prosecutor and her handling of the border crisis, with the audience surprisingly laughing along. “He’s acknowledging she’s not popular,” commented Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report,” particularly noting Maher’s joke about the border.
“If you care about anything that is liberal, if you care about women or minorities or anything else, then the border is the number one issue. Everything is downstream from immigration, period,” Rubin stated, emphasizing the importance of immigration in current political discourse.
Rubin further elaborated on Maher’s points, stating, “Bill is acknowledging that nobody likes her. She has no track record of doing anything. And the few things that she was tasked with or in this case, the one thing that she was tasked with in the last 3-and-a-half years, she absolutely destroyed. Which is the border.”
Maher’s remarks underscore a broader debate about Harris’s position within the Democratic Party and her effectiveness as Vice President. Despite her historical candidacy and the support she receives from the party, Maher’s critique highlights the challenges she faces in gaining widespread popularity and trust.
In summary, Bill Maher’s recent commentary on Kamala Harris has stirred discussions about her role and effectiveness as Vice President. His humorous yet pointed critique reflects broader concerns about her leadership and popularity within the Democratic Party, especially regarding her handling of critical issues like immigration. As political debates continue, Maher’s perspective adds another layer to the ongoing discourse surrounding Harris and her impact on the Democratic agenda.
