During his most recent episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher spoke about the left’s conspiracy to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story; “let’s not pussyfoot around this,” Maher tells guest, director Rob Reiner.
“He was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden. I mean, most political sons do, but let’s not pretend at least that was going on… so Hunter Biden’s laptop was buried by the press. Even the head of Twitter Jack Dorsey said that was a mistake… So Sam Harris says it was appropriate for Twitter, and the heads of Big Tech, and the heads of journalistic organizations to feel that they were in the presence of something that is a once-in-a-lifetime moral emergency, meaning Trump. So he’s saying it’s okay to have a conspiracy, to get rid of somebody as bad as Trump.”
“It’s a little bit of a thorny question because once you go down this road- this is sort of where we are in this country, the other side is so evil, anything is justified in preventing them from taking office. Is it?” Maher asked.
Reiner dodged the question, telling Maher, “You know what’s not justified? Using armed violence to try to kill people in the Capitol. That’s not justified.”
“Answer this question!” Maher exclaimed. “The question is- was it appropriate to bury the Hunter Biden-”
“You talking about the press doing that?” Reiner asked.
“He’s saying that’s what they did and that is what they did,” Maher said. “They buried the Hunter Biden story before the election because they were, like, ‘We can’t risk having the election thrown to Trump. We’ll tell them after the election.'”
“And we know for a fact that that’s what they did?” Reiner responded.
“Of course!” Maher double down. “You don’t follow this?”
“I don’t know what they did,” Reiner replied.
“I know because you only watch MSNBC,” Maher quipped.

This is extraordinary. Maher confronts Klobuchar and Reiner with an undeniable fact and they can’t help but sputter “January 6th!” They’re confirming what we all understand. Nothing matters as long as Trump and Rs are defeated. Whatever it takes. pic.twitter.com/3h6iEjN4pR
