Overview
- On HBO’s Real Time, Maher said Eilish “doesn’t know facts,” mocked her “stolen land” line with a teepee quip, and argued that knowledge must accompany protest.
- The episode’s panel split over her remarks, with Chris Christie calling such pronouncements useless without solutions and Chrystia Freeland saying it would have been wrong to ignore ICE.
- Reports following the Feb. 1 ceremony note the Tongva tribe has asked for the property where Eilish’s Los Angeles home sits, tied to ancestral claims.
- California’s Sinai Law Firm said it offered pro bono help to evict Eilish on the tribe’s behalf, a bid publicized days after her speech.
- The political reaction escalated as Sen. Eric Schmitt urged her to return her Grammy and “probably her mansion,” while Fox News said her representatives did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication.
