Bill Maher Condemns “People Who Mocked” Charlie Kirk’s Death: “I Think You’re Gross”

Bill Maher addressed Charlie Kirk’s assassination during Friday night’s episode of Real Time, where he started the episode off by noting that it had been a “very ugly week in America.”

During his opening monologue, Maher touched on the current state of politics in the United States in the wake of the shooting. He began, “It’s a very ugly week in America with violence of all kinds: political violence, regular violence, a lot of people talking about a civil war.”

“And then today in Congress, because Charlie Kirk got assassinated, [Colorado Representative] Lauren Boebert stood up and said, ‘We need to have a prayer.’ So they started to have a silent prayer. And then she started screaming, ‘No! Silent prayers get silent results.’ As if praying out loud gets big results,” Maher continued. “Then the Democrats started screaming at her that there was a school shooting in her state.
