Bill Maher Says He Makes Fun of Democrats More After Oct. 7 Hamas Attacks: ‘Dumber Than They Used to Be’ | Video

Bill Maher doesn’t disagree with critics who say he makes fun of Democrats more than he used to — in fact, it’s by his design.

Speaking onstage at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival with journalist Tina Brown, the comedian and author (“What This Comedian Said Will Shock You”) agreed that he makes fun of “the left” more than he has before because “they’re dumber than they used to be” — particularly since Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.

Maher began by explaining that America is at “peak stupid” because “we stopped educating people” and there’s “a lot of ignorance.”
