“Let me defend myself, because I have never said, and would never say, because it’s not true, that Republicans, all Republicans are racist. That would be silly and wrong.

Man, I would love to see Maher on more shows like this. Sure, he may not be considered by some a legit “political analyst” or expert enough on news matters.

At the very least, we all know where Maher stands and he’s very entertaining.
