On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that “Donald Trump is not a patriot, because a true patriot would say to Russia, ‘Look, even though you’re helping me, that’s not the way we win elections here.'”

Maher said, “The Republicans in Congress are the cover-up. They are enablers. Where are the patriots? Wouldn’t that — I mean, I know Donald Trump is not a patriot, because a true patriot would say to Russia, ‘Look, even though you’re helping me, that’s not the way we win elections here.’ But that’s not him. That’s not who he is. But, where is like [Senator] John McCain (R-AZ)?”
