‘You’re A Liar!’ HBO’s Bill Maher Calls Out Harris, Walz After CNN Interview

On Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” HBO host Bill Maher criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz for what he described as insulting voters during their CNN interview, which aired Thursday night.

Harris and Walz were interviewed by Dana Bash on CNN, marking Harris’s first interview since President Joe Biden announced his decision to end his re-election campaign on July 21st. Maher disagreed with Walz’s claim that he spoke like “normal Americans” and questioned the validity of his statement.

“No, you don’t,” Maher said. “No, you don’t. You’re a huge liar, like all politicians are.” He added: “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 shit 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 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 Harris’s selection as her running mate.

During an August 7 campaign event in Wisconsin, Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, the party’s vice presidential nominee, accused Walz of “dishonesty.” Vance pointed to comments Walz made in a video posted on X on August 6 by the Harris-Walz campaign, where Walz called for a ban on “assault weapons” and implied that he had used them “in war.”

Maher also criticized Harris’s responses to questions from Bash about her reaction to Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race and her shifting stance on hydraulic fracturing, or 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?’” he said.

He then noted that Harris is known for historically high turnover rates of staff, leading Maher to quip that she should have blamed her fracking position on them as her reason for firing them.
