On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that the Republican Party is a home for racists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis and that Fox News “reanimated” Nazism.
Maher stated, “Ivanka Trump tweeted, ‘There should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy, and neo-[N]azis.’ But there is, the Republican Party. I’m sorry to say that, but…Trump may come and go, but 67% of Republicans approved of his reaction to the events in Charlottesville. 68% said that when he blamed both sides he was being accurate. I think that’s way too high.”
He added, “I truly believe Fox News, as much as we blame them all the time, it’s not enough. They are the Jurassic Park that took the DNA of the Nazis and reanimated it.”
