HBO host Bill Maher criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic Governor Tim Walz for allegedly insulting voters during a CNN interview that aired Thursday night. Maher made these comments during Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

The interview, conducted by CNN host Dana Bash, was Harris’s first since President Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he would not seek reelection. Maher specifically called out Walz for claiming that he speaks like normal Americans.

“No, you don’t,” Maher said. “No, you don’t. You’re a huge liar, like all politicians are. I don’t care by the way. I’ve always said this about politics, they’re all going to lie they’re politics. It’s what they lie about. I don’t give a s**t what you did during the Iraq War, you were in the Guard … I don’t understand why they just can’t and you’re just insulting my intelligence.”

Questions surrounding Tim Walz’s 2005 retirement from the Minnesota National Guard resurfaced after a 2018 Facebook post by retired Army Command Sergeant Major Thomas Behrends came to light following Kamala Harris’s selection of Walz as her running mate.

Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, the vice presidential nominee, accused Walz of “dishonesty” during an Aug. 7 campaign event in Wisconsin. Vance highlighted remarks Walz made in a video posted on X on Aug. 6 by the Harris-Walz campaign, in which Walz advocated for a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” suggesting he had experience carrying them “in war.”

Bill Maher also criticized Harris’s responses during the CNN interview when Dana Bash questioned her about her reaction to President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race and her shift in stance on hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking.”

“When [Bash] said … What did you say when Biden called you and said he wasn’t running? Well, um, I immediately thought of him first. No, you didn’t,” Maher said of Harris’ response. “You know, I mean, fracking. I mean, Dana Bash had her dead to rights. It’s like, you said this, I have the quote, I’m reading it to you, you said there should be a ban on fracking. Why can’t they just go, ‘Yeah, you know what, I got it wrong, I was talking to uh the wrong people?’”

Maher jokingly suggested that Harris could justify the high turnover of staff during her vice presidency by claiming they had provided her with incorrect information about fracking, which led to their dismissal.
