Bill Maher Mocks Kamala Harris & Slams Democrats Over Patriotism [View all]

Bill Maher Mocks Kamala Harris & Slams Democrats Over Patriotism
Martin Holmes

Real Time host Bill Maher tore into Democrats on Friday (June 19) for being scared to embrace patriotism amid America’s 250 birthday celebrations.
...
He then turned his attention to Democrats and former Vice President Kamala Harris, saying, “Every election year, Democrats seem to remember patriotism for about an hour at their convention when they’re trying to win back swing voters. The whole message of Kamala’s speech in 2024 was ‘take back the flag.’ That’s why she talked about America like a pageant contestant.”

After showing a clip from Harris’ speech at the convention, in which she said, “the greatest privilege on Earth is the privilege and pride of being an American,” Maher quipped, “Hard to believe she lost, huh?”

“Well, you can’t take back the flag in an hour if the rest of the time you treat patriotism as something vaguely embarrassing,” he added. “It shouldn’t be!”
