Maher Compares Lindsey Graham to 'Slave Abused by Fat Daddy,' Warns 'Democracy is About to Stop Breathing'

Bill Maher closed Friday's edition of Real Time with a hyperbolic rant directed at Republicans on Capitol Hill. Referring to a leaked conversation where former House Speaker Paul Ryan said "we're a real family here," Maher described Republicans as "a crime family." Maher quickly devolved into sexually charged commentary, theorizing that the most loyal clientele for prostitutes are "successful, older, white guys with power and authority they know they don't really deserve. In other words, they're Republicans." Maher declared that "in Washington, they're all enthralled to Mistress Covfefe and his fifty shades of orange," as a doctored picture of President Trump in bondage appeared in the background. At this point, Maher unveiled the most disgusting comment of his closing monologue: "the way Lindsey Graham acts around Trump, it's like something out of a Pornhub clip titled 'Slave Abused by Fat Daddy.'" Eventually, Maher concluded that Republicans would stand by the President if he "starts poisoning journalists or literally shoots someone on Fifth Avenue." Maher concluded his monologue by warning that "we're at the Julius Caesar moment," where "the Republic becomes a dictatorship." The HBO host pleaded with Republicans: "If you've got a safe word...you'd better use it soon because democracy is about to stop breathing."
