Bill Maher Agrees With Milo Yiannopoulos On Islam, Transgenderism, "Free Speech", Real Time Milo

Bill Maher had Milo Yiannopoulos on his show "Real Time with Bill Maher", which is quite frankly controversial enough, given that he is giving a huge platform and massive media coverage to a guy who is for ethnic-cleansing, a neo-nazi, white supremacist, white nationalist, idiot. However, you would expect Bill Maher to eviscerate and go after Milo Yiannopoulos on everything like Anti-Semitism, his self-loathing acts, white nationalism, neo-nazism, transgenderism, and all of these different topics. BUT NO. Instead, Bill decided to give Milo a Dave Rubin style of interview, softball after softball. This is an absolute joke and Bill Maher just gave Milo free time online and gave him free exposure and press coverage. I think what angers me most however is the fact that Bill Maher inched forward on TRANSGENDERISM. When pressed, Bill Maher said "its not unreasonable" that you are controlling the bathroom that the person goes into. What a fucking weirdo. Who gives a shit, they are just trying to take a piss.

Bill Maher Milo Yiannopoulos debate. Bill Maher Milo Yiannopoulous Agree On Issues. By inviting "alt right" (aka white supremacist) darling Milo Yiannopoulos (known as "Milo") onto his HBO show Friday night, Bill Maher could've seized a great opportunity to expose Yiannopoulos' history of hate. After all, Yiannopoulos has spewed so much toxic garbage that he was permanently banned by Twitter in 2016, which says a lot, considering the cesspool that swirls on that platform. So when Maher faced Yiannopoulos on Friday, did the HBO host press him on his view that college rape culture is a fiction and that women are often lying when they report being raped? Did Maher ask him about his anti-Semitic comment that "Jews run the media," or did he ask why Yiannopoulos wore a Nazi Iron Cross when he was younger? Did Maher press him on his demonization of transgender people as, in essence, sexual predators? No. Instead Maher actually bonded with the extremist author and lecturer on their shared anti-Muslim views. Yiannopoulos complimented Maher: "You're sound on Islam unlike most people on your show." To which Maher glowingly responded, "Yes, that's true." (Although when Maher remarked that all religions were "stupid and dangerous," Yiannopoulos pushed back noting that, as a Catholic, he thinks his own faith is great.) You know, there's nothing nicer than seeing two people who appear to be on different ends of the political spectrum bond over how much they dislike Islam, right? And no question: Maher and Yiannopoulos do indeed appear to be in lockstep when it comes to Muslims. Yiannopoulos, writing that "America has a Muslim problem" has conflated all Muslims with ISIS and has even defended loathing of Muslims with the comment, "fear of Islam is entirely rational." Maher has echoed that very sentiment with his own comment about Islam that, "The more you know, the more you would be afraid." And Maher was even praised by the alt-right Breitbart, where Yiannopoulos works as editor, for his remark in 2015, "I think that Islam is a problem." On his show Friday, Maher did gently push back when Yiannopoulos mocked HBO "Girls" star Lena Dunham with his playful response, "Let's not pick on fellow HBO stars." But why didn't Maher at any time passionately challenge Milo? In fact, stunningly, at the end of the interview, Maher seemed to be doing his best to make Yiannopoulos' hateful views more acceptable. Maher concluded the interview by reading "provocative" jokes the late comedian Joan Rivers had made and saying she was still considered a "national treasure." If Maher has made a strategic decision to court Yiannopoulos' legion of white-supremacist followers, that's his despicable choice.
