Maher on Biden-Ukraine: “if Don Jr. did it, it would be all Rachel Maddow was talking about”
Maher Calls Out the Left for Hypocrisy Over Hunter Biden’s Ukraine Ties
Bill Maher is a figure of the far left, but every once in a while he calls out his own side for their dishonesty. On his HBO program this weekend, he made a very accurate point about the left’s double standard on Hunter Biden and Ukraine.
John Gage reported at the Washington Examiner:
Bill Maher: Hunter Biden Ukraine ties ‘would be all Rachel Maddow was talking about’ if Trump Jr. did it
Bill Maher tore into Joe Biden on his HBO show, saying his son Hunter’s Ukrainian ties probably lost him the Democratic presidential nomination and wondering how the media would react if it were President Trump’s son.
“The more I read about this — you know, I don’t think he was doing something terrible in Ukraine, but it’s just so — why can’t politicians tell their f–king kids, ‘Get a job? Get a goddamn job,'” Maher said Friday about Hunter Biden being on the board of a company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch while his father was vice president. “It just looks bad, and the Republicans are geniuses at muddying the water. It’s all gonna be about, ‘You did this in Ukraine? Well, Joe Biden did this.'”
Maher argued that the appearance of corruption by Biden could be used by Republicans to take down his nomination. The host went on to compare Hunter Biden to Donald Trump Jr.
“It does sound like something Don Jr. would do, and and if Don Jr. did it, it would be all Rachel Maddow was talking about,” Maher said.
There are two things you need to know before watching this video. First, there is some very strong language. Second, it’s a short video, but to get to the part where Maher comments about Maddow, you have to listen to some ridiculous claims from two leftists, including former Congressman Barney Frank.
If you’re still in, watch it all below:
Maher is absolutely correct about Maddow here. If she could connect Donald Trump Jr. to this type of business, they’d have to peel her off the ceiling of her MSNBC studio.
Here are some great reactions to this story on Twitter, via Twitchy:

Look, we all know that politicians on BOTH sides do this kind of stuff.
Friends and family of the DC elite have always reaped the benefits of having someone in high places.
It shouldn’t happen, but it does…
But Maher is right, the Rachel Maddows of the world only scream bloody murder when Republicans do it.
Pelosi has become very wealthy from lucrative contracts with the government that her husband “won”. Harry Reid started Congress with about $50K or so in the bank, he is a millionaire.
What is worse? Their children getting wealthy through threats of withholding a billion in aid is probably worse than these politicians usually do because Biden used our money to fleece another country into stopping an investigation but I am left with where did all these “public servants” get their wealth – especially when they had none to start with. Hillary with her “lucky” deals that paid off in hundreds of thousands of dollars, Reid making “investments” which paid off 100 fold.
We don’t know what happened to the billions lost with the Pentagon. Nor with the State Department. Pretty soon we are talking real money that just goes poof in the night.
Both sides are guilty of doing crap like this, but I doubt it ever reached the level that Biden’s son did.
And why is it fine for Muff-face Maher to claim it’s something Trump’s son would do, yet he hasn’t. The propaganda wing of the National Socialists have been this hypocritical for decades upon decades now. The difference now is they hide the news completely if it goes against the leftists unless they have no choice. When a Republican does something underhanded it’s always reported on, usually made to sound worse than it is, and they always make sure you know it’s a Republican. When they have no choice but to report on a “Democratic National Socialist” they never report the party affiliation.
I suspect that Maher only reports stuff when it is just so obvious to everyone that not reporting it would make him look bad. He still allows the other 99% to go under the radar unlike his 100% under the radar MSM brethren.
Not sure i would call Bill Maher “far-left”. He’s increasingly the right-wing of the Democrat party without even changing any of his views!
“Look, we all know that politicians on BOTH sides do this kind of stuff.”
What, get prosecutors fired for doing their jobs?
Using their government position to obtain favors for potential criminals?
Good to know what kind of ethics some people have.
We need to remember, this is not about nepotism and the granting of favors. This is about Joe’s extortionate threats to a sovereign nation in a bid (apparently successful) to prevent said sovereign from investigating his son for possible illegal activity as defined by that sovereign’s laws.
Everybody in government does not do this all the time.
How stupid can a group of people!
Hunter Biden did have a job. He was a Naval officer. Until his commission was removed for cocaine usage. The media doesn’t ever seem to mention that…I wonder why.
