Bill Maher roasted both political parties for manipulating Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to score political points.
“The “Real Time with Bill Maher” host also noted that it’s “worth asking” why Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine when Joe Biden was in the White House and not when Donald Trump was president.
During the New Rules segment of Friday’s episode, Maher blasted Americans for trying to make the war in Ukraine about them.
“Don’t make World War III all about you.
“Watching the reactions to war in Ukraine these past few weeks, it’s become obvious that America in this age suffers acutely from a particular disease of the mind, which is: Everything proves what we already believed and everything goes back to the thing we already hate.
“All issues today: Pandemic, war, whatever, become a stress test for our reflexive partisanship.
“Can you take a vastly complex situation that is 100% not about your thing and somehow still make it about your thing?
“Our answer is, ‘Watch me.'”
Maher asked the question, “OK, but if Putin thought Trump was really that supportive of him, why didn’t he invade when Trump was in office?
“It’s at least worth asking that question if you’re not locked into one intransigent thought.
