Overview
- On Maher’s Club Random episode released Monday, Maher and Hines agreed the left has become intolerant and prone to cutting people off over disagreements.
- Hines said Republicans treated her kindly during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign, a contrast she did not see from Democrats, noting her role as the HHS secretary’s spouse.
- Maher said he still aligns with Democrats on preserving democracy but criticized liberals for refusing to “break bread” with opponents and recalled blowback for dining with President Trump.
- He likened Hollywood’s climate to a new blacklist aimed at those deemed not “woke” enough and said figures on the right are more willing to engage, citing a conversation with Charlie Kirk.
- Hines, promoting her memoir, noted continued attention to her October appearance on The View, where cohosts pressed her on Kennedy’s qualifications to lead HHS.
