There’s an old adage that goes something like, “I’m a genius because I know I’m not one.”
While I would refrain from ever describing classic liberal Bill Maher as “a genius,” he sure seems like one compared to some of his more left-leaning contemporaries.
On Monday, Maher aired another episode of his podcast, dubbed “Club Random,” and had on music legend John Mellencamp as a guest.
The two touched on a wide range of topics, but the most noteworthy part of the conversation came when the two began to discuss the Democratic trope of being far too reliant on celebrities to help push their policy platforms.
Initially, Maher and Mellencamp tried to make this a “both sides” issue.
“But yes, I think both sides have to be called out,” Maher said, perFox News. “And, like, I live in Hollywood, this town just does not believe that. They do not believe in calling out both sides.”
The two then brought up the most recent display of left-wing activism at the Golden Globe Awards.
At the event, a number of celebrities were wearing “Be Good” buttons as a way to commemorate Renee Good, the woman who lost her life after an altercation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in January.
So, yes, those buttons were also anti-ICE — which is a popular platform on the left.
Maher just doesn’t think celebrities are the way to get that message across.
