Bill Maher warns that Biden's 'garbage' comment is a 'bigger gaffe than people think': 'Deplorables x 10'

"Real Time" host Bill Maher fumed over President Biden's "garbage" comment about Trump supporters, suggesting it could have a big impact on Election Day.
"I think it's a bigger gaffe than people think," Maher began his panel discussion Friday night. "It's so funny, Joe Biden , his whole career, he was like Mr. Gaffe, and then here at the very end- he's like Aaron Judge in Game Six. He just f--kin' muffed the fly ball and at the end of the thing, and blew the whole [game]."
"Because I feel like it epitomizes everything that the Trump people hate about the Democrats. They look down at us. It's like ‘deplorables’ times ten," Maher said.
"The Fifth Column" podcast co-host Michael Moynihan agreed with Maher, saying it reaffirms the belief that "the elite" hate Trump supporters and swiftly dismissed the media's debate over "the apostrophe" because it was "clear" what Biden was talking about, stressing it was "not a net-positive for Democrats."
The Bulwark's Tim Miller suggested the "dumb" comment wasn't so damaging, telling Maher "I don't know if Trump took advantage of it as much as some people might want to think."
The HBO host then pivoted to the "garbage" joke told by insult comedian Tony Hinchcliffe that sparked the controversy, which was made at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally when he referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage."
"Did the Democrats look weak because they can't take a joke?" Maher asked. "Because I think that's another Achilles heel that they have."
"Look, I have to defend my profession," Maher later said. "I'm a comic. I'm a free speech absolutist… This was offensive. But this guy's an insult comic. Why he's at this [event]- it's like bringing cocaine to a funeral."
Maher also panned Biden earlier in the show during his opening monologue over his inability to "shut the f--- up."
"In fairness, he was on a video call, and he thought he was just yelling at the TV," Maher quipped.

No.
It's a good thing he's not running for President, right?
Though what he said is 100% true.
That's why you like Bill Maher and hate Hillary and Joe - because they're CORRECT. Hillary was off by half.
Also, fuck Maher - I never liked him anyway.
And you didn't get it?
Of course. Trump is trash.
Wrong again!
It means he is proud to be a Trump supporter.
He must be a fan of trash.
he's a Trash Man Fan
Just give up Vic. You are wasting your time on the sophomorically triggered.
Just rest assured. They are a majority here but they’re a minority nearly everywhere else. And that my friend triggers them even deeper into their morass of hatred. A vicious, endless cycle of hate.
Imagine living like that. I feel sorry for the poor bastards.
Do you dispute any of this ?
I see that as his supporter is claiming that he is trump's trash - that he, the supporter, is trash. Perfect self-own. The former 'president' traitor though is most definitely garbage, white trash allegedly with money.
The topic is:
Do you dispute any of that?
Obviously proud to be white trash, that's pretty obvious without the self-own.
My comments were about trash/garbage until you derailed.
Correctamundo!

Amen brother (or sister). It is getting more and more toxic as TDS seems to be bringing some to a new level of hate and nastiness and flat out lying. Talking to them in a objectively is a waste of time
I wonder how many have their insides are just in constant pain by everything around them. Seems they live to be miserable. I guess long term TDS can lead to ulcers.
Anyone who wears a garbage bag with Trump Trash across the front of it deserves whatever mocking they get.
Yep, toxic.
One word that encompasses and defines their entire movement.
Toxic.
Opinions do vary, greatly in this case.

Perfect. So glad they self-identify. Fucking morons. It's like a warning sign - STAY AWAY!
You have to wonder what the idiot paid for it. Do you know what they're going for?
glad you brought that up
Bullshit. I’m sick of this double standard. Trump says offensive, divisive, inflammatory vomit-speak all day long, every day, for fucking years, and what do we hear? Oh, he’s just joking. He doesn’t mean it. It’s mere hyperbole. He’s being taken out of context. Get over it.
But literally anyone else says something arguably problematic - and I’m happy to concede that Biden has a history of saying stupid shit - and it’s a scandalous catastrophe.
Oh, and by the MFing way. Joe Biden isn’t running for president.
You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.
I for one am tired of all the sanctimonious pricks on the left who’ve been hammering Trump going on nine years now, for everything they could be offended by, and now have the temerity to be offended when some of it comes back at them.
Boo fucking hoo ….. put your big boy pants on and learn to take it if you dish it out.
And sometimes just making shit up.
True, some people dont want frauds, crooks, pathological liars , racists, morons, criminals , and people who try to overthrow the government (aka traitors) to be president? What is their problem?
Better not vote for Harris then ….
Hopefully we will be on the way to being over it on Wednesday morning.
Brace, brace, brace …… just in case
