Bill Maher Isn't Happy 'SNL' Called His MAGA Friends Racist
By Andrew Sanford | News | May 19, 2025

I think you could get away with assuming folks aren’t explicitly racist because they voted for Trump in 2016. It’s wrong, but the whole thing felt so unprecedented that it was easier to assume folks just wanted a stronger economy or some such nonsense. At the end of the day, those who supported him supported a man who proudly said Mexicans are rapists and told Black people they had nothing to lose because more than half of their youth were unemployed. That’s what the man came out of the gate with! Now, years later, he’s softened his stance. Oh, wait, no the f*** he hasn’t!

Trump has gotten more racist, the way Kirby can absorb creatures and gain their powers. However, in this iteration, Kirby never gives up any of the powers he’s absorbed. He just gets bigger and wider and, in this case, more racist. This monstrously orange version of Kirby also has minions to whom he can spread his racism to carry out orders on his behalf, like removing people of color from their positions because they consider them “DEI hires” and scrubbing them from historical records for the same (racist) reasons. But please, don’t tell MAGA Puppet Bill Maher any of this!

The comedian(?) has his nose shoved fairly up the MAGA a**hole after being invited to dinner at the White House by Kid Rock (the highest of honors). Maher fancied himself a contrarian long before that, which is easy to do once money and power have made you completely removed from reality. However, Billy Boy doesn’t see it that way. In his eyes, which are often covered by douchey sunglasses often reserved for divorced dads scoping a Mohegan Sun for some strange, the liberal party left him because it… doesn’t like people who claim Mexicans are rapists and all Black people are DEI hires.

But like I said, Maher was a comedian at some point (I think?), so he knows funny! And boy, oh, boy, did he not find a sketch from the SNL 50th Anniversary Show very funny! Here’s the snag: I didn’t love the sketch either. It started great, as another iteration of Black Jeopardy, complete with Eddie Murphy playing Tracy Morgan while standing next to Tracy Morgan. It goes south when the show replaces Morgan with a MAGA-hat-clad Tom Hanks in a revival of an older version of the sketch. The callback felt forced and didn’t live up to the original. But in Maher’s eyes, it was simply a lie.
