Kellyanne Conway Forces Maher To Say The Quiet Part Out Loud: J6 Is A Political Hit
Bill Maher's Real Time might be the most 'centered' liberal late-night show but make no mistake, it's still a very liberal show. So when Maher invited Kellyanne Conway on, I half expected it to become a clown show of arguments but I was pleasantly surprised to see Conway steal the show.
Maher sat down with Conway, a podcaster named Josh Barro, and social justice warrior Cornel West. Believe it or not, the podcaster was the only clown on that stage while West played a fairly level-headed role—Another surprise. I thought, for sure the SJW would be the belligerent, but nope... It was the podcaster playing the role of a dunce.
Conway and Maher debated Trump's possible run for president when Conway got Maher to admit that the J6 hearings are just about preventing Trump from ever running again.
“Should he be able to run again for president?” Maher asked.
“That’s what this is about,” Conway said Friday night. “At least you admit it. At least you said the quiet part out loud: that these investigations are about preventing [Trump] from ever running again.”
Maher and Barro suggested the hearings may be a precursor to criminal prosecution by the Justice Department.
“But only if he believes that he lost,” Conway stated, insisting that the former president did believe he won in 2020 despite advisers saying he lost.
During the show’s "Overtime" segment, the 2016 Trump campaign manager and senior counselor to the former president reiterated that the Jan. 6 hearings are representative of a courtroom.
“We were talking about Jan. 6, and I wanted to gently remind everybody: It’s not a courtroom. It’s a hearing,” Conway said. “They didn’t even have the guts, I think I said balls, to subpoena [Trump], and they never do.”
Watch
She added that regardless of what comes of the Jan. 6 committee’s efforts, the GOP nominee will be someone that runs on an “America First” agenda.
