Bill Maher recently noted that Hollywood stars are all about political causes, but there was one unifying cause they refused to touch during last Sunday’s Emmy Awards show - Political violence. He took Tinseltown’s elite to task for not speaking on Charlie Kirk’s assassination during the program.
Here’s Maher. (WATCH)
Bill Maher is right — the Emmy’s had no interest in memorializing Charlie Kirk because he’s on the wrong team, and they don’t tolerate anyone on the wrong team

If there were an awards show this weekend, the entire thing would be about Jimmy Kimmel

Bill has zoomed out far enough to see his party for what it is. He's not ready to move on from them... but you can see the agitation with them he's displaying is real.

Maher’s no right-winger, but he does surprise us sometimes with genuine criticism of leftists.
It’s virtually impossible to get those on the left to step out of their bubble. One poster says she knows what it feels like to be cut off from family for being on the right.
It is their side that cuts off family. I think Bill is seeing what his side has become.

It's now the party of "No vax, no visiting your grandchildren" and "Vote for Trump, I don't wanna have Thanksgiving with you."
Even one of my kids wouldn't speak to me for a year and a half because I wouldn't get vaccinated. I was surprised when he recently admitted to me that he now understands why people were hesitant to get the covid vaccine.

That’s more of a fluke than a common occurrence.
Posters note how different the response on the left would’ve been if someone on the right had assassinated a Democrat.
I don't like Bill but he's spot on here. We don't have to agree to have sympathy for a tragedy. They would be burning cities down if this happened to one of there's. Much respect Bill. 👍

It’s pretty bad when not a single mention of Charlie Kirk was made at the Emmys, just four days after his assassination.

Maher is right. If this had been a Democrat, they wouldn’t have stopped talking about it.
They didn’t want to mention Charlie kirk because they knew that mentioning his death would’ve been met with cheering…

They were concerned with the optics
Makes you wonder if producers and members of the guild told actors not to mention Charlie Kirk’s name specifically for that very reason. It’s not hard to imagine some applause from a Hollywood audience for his murder.
