(SNews) – Liberal talk show host Bill Maher has taken aim at the Left’s “woke” agenda and called out transgenders for going “too far” with efforts to “shut down debate.”
In a new interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Maher blasted “the woke point of view,” which he argues is very different from his own liberal views.
Maher said “the trans community is asking for too much” from people and reverts to cancel culture against those who don’t comply with the radical Left’s agenda.
Tapper suggested to Maher that comedians shouldn’t make jokes about transgenders.
The CNN host seemingly defended the point of view shared by a small number of “woke” comedians who claim that jokes about transgender people amount to “punching down.”
“I don’t really agree,” Maher said.
“I mean, I think the trans community is asking for too much,” Maher said.
“Again, the difference between liberal and woke.
“And it’s great we live in a time where people like that can freely live the lives they should live with all the dignity and protection of the law that we can afford them, like anybody else in society.
“I think that’s the liberal point of view.”
Maher continued by explaining how “woke” people view the matter.
“The woke point of view is something very different, like — ‘well, babies are born now and just jump ball, we don’t know what they are,’” Maher mocked.
“‘Congratulations, you have a boy. Well, let’s not be hasty. There’s a penis. That could be an indication of a male, but it’s — it’s really– we’ll find out later. And we can always get rid of it.’”
“And it’s not wrong to have this discussion,” Maher continued.
He then highlighted how “woke” people try to claim that even having the discussion is a form of hate or a phobia, a tactic that is used to shut down debate.
“They absolutely do want to shut down debate,” Maher added.
