Throughout which he was given a chance to offer the woke leftists on his facet a badly wanted scolding. 

Tapper first requested Maher in regards to the Democrat Social gathering’s obsession with identification politics which Tapper appeared to suppose Maher would defend. Sadly for him, it didn’t work out that means. 

“So that you discuss in regards to the Democrats being so hemmed in by identification politics. The counterargument can be it is all the time been identification politics.

JAKE TAPPER: So that you discuss in regards to the Democrats being so hemmed in by identification politics. The counterargument can be it is all the time been identification politics. It is simply all the time been white individuals, so individuals such as you and me did not discover. And now it is simply an effort at inclusion, which I am positive theoretically you help. 

BILL MAHER: Yeah. I help it the truth is. However, the Democrats generally can take it too far. I might categorize liberal as completely different than woke. You already know, woke, which began out as a very good factor, alert to injustice, who could possibly be in opposition to that, nevertheless it turned kind of a watch roll as a result of they love range besides of concepts. And that is not likely the place we needs to be. I imply, they’ve a path of very dangerous concepts, I might suppose, in wokeness. 

TAPPER: How do you outline wokeness? As a result of I hear individuals use the time period on a regular basis. It means one thing completely different to everyone. 

MAHER: Nicely, once more, assortment of concepts that aren’t constructing on liberalism however fairly often undoing it. I imply, 5 years in the past, Abraham Lincoln was not a controversial determine amongst liberals. We favored him. Now they take his identify off colleges and tear down his statues. Actually, Lincoln is not adequate for you? 

You already know, 5, ten years in the past, bedrock liberalism was we’re striving to be a colour blind society the place we do not see race. After all, we see it, nevertheless it does not matter. That is not what woke is. Woke is one thing very completely different. It is identification — we see it on a regular basis. It is all the time an important factor. I do not suppose that is liberalism. I imply, I might point out so many points like that. I keep in mind doing that present on HBO, comedian reduction for the homeless. 

And the concept then, once more, amongst liberals, I assumed, was for the sake of compassion, can we get these individuals off the streets so that they have a roof over their heads? And now it is how dare you attempt to transfer the homeless. That is the place they stay. It is like, once more, you alter the definitions and you then say I am extra conservative? I imagine what I’ve all the time believed. You alter this stuff and you then yell at me for it.
