Maher blasts Cheryl Hines's critics after RFK Jr., Trump joined forces: 'Obnoxious posers'



Comedian and TV personality Bill Maher blasted critics of Cheryl Hines following her husband, former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., endorsing former President Trump, calling them “obnoxious posers.” 

Hines received pushback online when her husband suspended his independent presidential bid and announced he would back Trump. Days later, Kennedy said his wife was not a Trump supporter and her reaction to the endorsement was the “opposite of encouraging.” 

Maher, who said he “likes” Kennedy but would not support him for president, scolded Hines’ critics, arguing the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star faced hate “because she didn’t throw her husband under the bus when her husband made a decision about something which she’s made plain she disagrees with.” 

“But that didn’t satisfy the obnoxious posers on the aforementioned far left,” Maher said during a Friday iteration of his show “Real Time with Bill Maher.” 

“Thousands tweet-screamed at Cheryl things like ‘how do you live with yourself,’ ‘do better,’ ‘I can’t even enjoy the episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm of you in them anymore.’”

When Kennedy announced he would back the former president in the 2024 election, actor Bradley Whitford immediately criticized Hines for staying “silent.” Maher pushed back while also going after the modern-day “left.” 

“Well, you know what I think is not gutsy, mansplaining to a woman, but of course, not to her face how she should sacrifice her marriage,” Maher said. “Also, you could read something on Twitter that met with your approval.” 

“You want to know why I have a bug up my a** about the left more than I used to, it’s s*** like this,” he continued. “There’s an ugliness they never used to have. The liberals I grew up respecting, none of them are like this. Going after the wife. Even the mafia doesn’t do that.”
