"Seventy-four million people are not self-deporting and neither are we," Maher told his audience
"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by defending the millions of Trump voters who were NOT involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"As bad as last week was ... let's not confuse 5,000 people with 74 million," Maher began his monologue. "Yes, even supporting the insurrection in spirit is, well, deplorable. But there's a difference between holding illiberal beliefs and acting violently on them. At least that's what they always told me about Islamic terrorism."
Maher told his viewers he always "wrestles" the hard question on his show of how all Americans "learn to share a country with a------s you can't stand."
