Liberal comedian Bill Maher scolded his audience this week for laughing after he talked about the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Sunday.
Maher made the remarks Friday evening on his HBO show “Real Time” while talking about the attempt on Trump’s life at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach.
“So let’s not bury the lead,” Maher said. “The big story this week, they tried to shoot Trump again. Let’s not–”
When the audience started laughing, Maher fired back: “Not funny!”
“I’m being serious,” he added. “This is the second time this happened. I said this before. There can be no fuzz on this. This is not funny! Okay? So. Okay. So, look, it’s not okay to wish it happened.”
Maher called the assassination attempt “a problem,” adding that the threats being made against politicians “[happen] too frequently.”
He then cracked a joke, saying that there were “two other shooters” on the course who were waiting to play through the hole, a reference to golfers having to wait on the course for a pairing ahead of them on the course to hurry up and finish the hole so they can play.
