Maher Reverts to Form, Says ‘No One Gives a F***’ About Democrat Casey’s Refusal to Concede Senate Seat

Sooner or later, people revert to form. It’s inevitable in all but a few of us. In the case of HBO’s dyed-in-the-wool liberal, “Real Time” host Bill Maher, it’s generally sooner.

Such was the case on Friday’s episode when Maher, who hasn’t been shy about chastising the Democrats throughout the presidential campaign and its aftermath, reverted to form by not only insisting that Democrats react differently when they lose elections than Republicans, but also absurdly suggesting that “no one gives a f***” about incumbent Pennsylvania Democrat Sen. Bob Casey continuing to refuse to concede he lost his seat, instead insisting that election officials are simply “recounting the votes.”

Yeah, we’ve been there and done that, before, Bill.

One of Maher’s guests was Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham, who gave him no quarter, and he wasn’t about to give an inch to her. either. It was classic.

Maher kicked off the festivities by suggesting to Ham that if Trump had lost the election, America would be witnessing what it saw after the then-president refused to concede he lost the 2020 election, culminating with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot (emphasis, mine):

What I’m asking is you know that if Trump had lost the election, right now we would be talking about the votes that are still coming in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and he’d be in the courts, and we would be all in a tither. One side accepts election losses and one side doesn’t. This asymmetry cannot continue. 

Mary Katharine wasn’t having it: “Wait, wait. Hold on.” Maher ignored her and continued: “And the people who are defending him cannot just look past it like ‘Well, we won the election, that’s it.’”

Mary Katharine stood her ground:

Currently, hold on, Bob Casey, Democratic senator in Pennsylvania, is doing exactly what you’re saying where he’s looking for all these votes in trying to—in Bucks County commissioners are saying we need fake ones, we need to get all the ones that are unregistered

Maher couldn’t handle that little tidbit of reality, and they went back and forth:

MAHER: No, they’re just counting them.
HAM: No, that’s not actually true. 
MAHER: They’re just counting them.
HAM: That’s not actually true—
MAHER: It is.

The spat continued — with Mary Katherine right, of course:

HAM: And if you dismiss that and you don’t recognize the mote in your own eye, then that is a problem.
MAHER: So, you’re saying Bob Casey in this— that’s equivalent to Trump in 2020—
HAM: No, I don’t say they’re equivalent, I say that you have to recognize these things happen, for instance, in 2016, in 2000.
MAHER: No, they didn’t. No, they didn’t.
[…]
HAM: I do not think it’s as asymmetrical as you say, and I also –
MAHER: Well, on the presidential level it is. Okay, Bob Casey, no one gives a fuck or even knows who he is. 
HAM: I mean, that was part of the problem.

Maher finally reluctantly conceded — sort of.

It’s a ridiculous argument. It doesn’t matter to anything, we’re talking about the United States of America and who gets to run it and who gets to appoint everybody. Let’s go on to that because I know I’m never going to make any progress here.

Typical liberal response. I’m right; you’re wrong, and I’m never going to convince you of that.

So here we are. 

It will be interesting to see how Maher and other sometimes reasonable liberals react if (when) Trump begins to fulfill the promises he made throughout the campaign, from stopping the steady surge of illegal aliens flowing into this country to clearing the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) insanity out of federal agencies and the US military.

  1. I’m trying to remember anything that Casey ever got done, besides vote the way Pelousy told him to. He did keep his seat warm, I suppose.
