Bill Maher to Dem Rep: 'Why Doesn't Your Party Come Out Against the Second Amendment?'

On his Friday “Real Time” program on HBO, host Bill Maher lamented that the differences between Republicans and Democrats were too subtle and pointed to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) Democratic challenger’s Alison Grimes embrace of firearms as not a clear enough contrast between to the two parties.

Then Maher took aim at Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and asked him why he and his colleagues aren’t just outright opposed to the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

“Why doesn’t your party come out against the Second Amendment?” Maher asked. “I never hear anybody in the Democratic Party say that. What they say is I’m also a strong supporter.”
