Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher is at it again, tossing truth bombs on his Friday night “Real Time” segments and ticking off the woke left in the process. This time, however, the intensity seems to have ticked up a notch, with lefties all over Twitter demanding that Maher himself be canceled for his latest mockery of cancel culture.
Here’s the offending segment, which primarily dealt with what Maher called the “woke Olympics.” Just try to keep yourself from literally shaking while watching it.
How bad does this atmosphere we're living in have to get before the people who say cancel culture is overblown admit that it is in fact an insanity that is swallowing up the world? #WokeOlympics pic.twitter.com/P9rJNs6nrs

“Young people have to stop flattering themselves that they’re Nostradamus, and would have foreseen had they been around back then everything that is unacceptable now,” the HBO comedian said. “And for further context, Mel Brooks write one of the most successful musicals of all time around the song ‘Springtime For Hitler.'”
“Why do we allow the people who just want to bitch to always win?” he asked before citing more examples, including a musical director who was fired after a 1994 interview surfaced in which he admitted to bullying his classmates as a kid. “This is called a purge. It’s a mentality that belongs in Stalin’s Russia. How bad does this atmosphere we’re living in have to get before the people who say cancel culture is overblown admit that it is in fact an insanity that is swallowing up the world?”
At one point, Maher even had to chide his audience for applauding what he clearly meant as “sarcasm.”
“And that is not a conservative position, my friends,” he said later in the segment. “My politics have not changed, but I am reacting to politics that have, and this is yet another example of how the woke invert the very thing that used to make liberals liberals. Snitches and bitches, that’s not being liberal.”
Predictably, woke Twitter didn’t like Maher’s segment, not one bit. Here are a few examples:
Bill Maher called himself ‘a house nigga,’ defended @IngrahamAngle, hosted @megynkelly to complain about Black ‘victimhood’ and @MrsSOsbourne to complain about cancel culture.
His Mayonnaise tears Tour continued with attacking ‘wokeness.’
He’s gone full on Grand Wizard.

Bill Maher rages against ‘cancel culture’ because he’s in the category of people who should be canceled—white, heterosexual, racist, misogynistic, islamophobic white men—and he knows it. Their reign is no longer supreme.

The fact that Bill Maher has to point out to the audience when he’s being sarcastic and glare at them when he needs laughs and applause tells me everything I need to know about this washed up comedian ranting that kids aren’t lining up to watch Moe slap Larry & Curly with a fish

Exactly. On the other hand, plenty of others applauded Maher for again being a voice of sanity from the left.
This is great.
Woke people are cancer cells to progress. https://t.co/Nok0mRBm5R— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) July 31, 2021

Best 7 minutes of television this year. Thank you, Mr Maher, for being an ongoing voice of liberal reason in this increasingly insane illiberal woke world. 👏👏 https://t.co/E2Fyq5RgVQ
