Bill Maher and one of his guests on Friday impugned new House Speaker Mike Johnson with particularly low blows equating him to a KKK leader and a mass murderer. Scott Galloway, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business who had a show on the short-lived CNN+, charged “the reason this guy is Speaker is none of us have the time to read his resume and realize he’s David Duke-lite.”
Maher pushed back on that characterization, but offered his own invective, calling Johnson “a religious nut” before raising the mass murderer of 18 in Maine: “Apparently he heard voices and I thought, ‘Is he that different than Mike Johnson?’” That generated laughter from the audience in Los Angeles.
