Bill Maher: ‘When the GOP nominated Trump, they handcuffed themselves to a dead hooker’

Speaking to his August 5 Real Time panel which included Rick Santorum, Tara Setmayer, and Rob Reiner, host Bill Maher got colorful with his metaphors as he spoke about the sorry state of the GOP since nominating Donald Trump as their candidate for president.

“When the Republican part picked Donald Trump as their nominee, they handcuffed themselves to a dead hooker,” Maher said to Santorum who was holding back a cautious smile.

“But the dead hooker is not really Trump,” Maher continued. “It’s the voters.”

But Setmayer didn’t entirely agree, saying that Trump voters represent a fringe aspect of the GOP base, who Maher promptly referred to as “a bunch of fact-free, racist rednecks.”

“You can flip the other side and say that the base of the Democratic Party is a bunch of left-wing anarchists…”

“Anarchists?” Maher said incredulously. “What Democrat is an anarchist?”

“I’m saying the left-wing progressive side of the Democratic party that are…”

“Where? Who?” Reiner interjected.

“The ones that are out there talking about ‘bring down the system,’ Marxism – have you ever been to a Bernie Sanders rally?” Setmayer, who was visibly frustrated, said.
