Bill Maher, a comedian, conversed with Megyn Kelly regarding the pro-Hamas fervor on college campuses.
The two ended up agreeing that the social justice activists have lost their bearings by advocating for terrorists.
During the “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast on Sirius XM, Kelly inquired of the presenter of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” as to how we have arrived at a state in which the Left is defending terrorists and supporting murderers such as Hezbollah and Hamas, with pro-Palestinian protestors chanting at Jews that they can’t go to class.
“If I ever needed a reason or rationale for making the case that the Left has changed, it would be this. The fact that they’re now marching for the terrorists, really? The people who see themselves as the most liberal people in the world, the social justice warriors, are standing with some of the most illiberal people in the world.” Maher stated.

“Look kids, I know you’re looking for a cause,” he added. “And that’s admirable, that kids want to have a cause. I got one for you. Women. Women around the world, especially in Muslim majority countries. Hamas? I mean, really, you’re marching for Hamas?” he continued.
Kelly then cited the recent TikTok trend in which certain young individuals were extolling Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11th terrorist attack.
“This is one of the big problems with the Left today is they see race in everything. As the guy who is trying to, like, be the common sense person in the middle, just speak for the normies, everything, I think to a lot of people, strikes at the way it strikes me as we start with one thing, this idea over here and then we’re all the way on the other side over here.” Maher stated in response.
“And of course it’s great that we got more impatient with racism in this country; that is the appropriate response … and then it goes all the way to and ‘no one who is a person of color can ever do anything wrong,’” he continued.
“That’s how you get, ‘we don’t talk about China.’ North Korea starves its people. China puts the Uyghurs in concentration camps. The president of Burundi … said we should march the gays into football stadiums and kill them for just being gay … but none of these crimes are coming from white people, so crickets. Really kids, nothing? No marching against any of this?” Maher concluded.
