Bill Maher<\/a> issued a blunt response to those who continue to compare President Donald Trump<\/a> to Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n On the September 12 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher<\/a><\/em>, the late-night host, 69, discussed the POTUS\u2019 recent run-in with hecklers. Trump, 79, went out to dinner at Joe\u2019s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in Washington, D.C., on September 9, amid the National Guard\u2019s ongoing presence in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n \u201cThis s*** has to stop too. He went out to dinner \u2014 I wouldn\u2019t have done that \u2014 in Washington, D.C., OK,\u201d Maher said. \u201cAnd people started to gather around him, and they were chanting, \u2018You\u2019re the Hitler of our time.<\/a>\u2018\u201d<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cOK, first of all, a**holes, he\u2019s not Hitler, OK? An insult to everybody in the Holocaust to begin with. Second of all, calling somebody Hitler makes it a lot easier to justify things like assassinations. Let\u2019s put a s***load of that away, shall we?\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, Maher addressed free speech in the U.S., including Trump signing an executive order<\/a> instructing federal prosecutors to criminally charge people who burn American flags during protests.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can love America and still be OK with burning the flag,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cPresident Trump wants to make that illegal, and I know for conservatives, this is an issue that really drives them up a wall that Mexico isn\u2019t paying for.\u201d<\/p>\n Maher concluded the topic by declaring, \u201cBut that\u2019s the great irony, flag burning is free speech. And free speech is one of the key things that makes America great.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the September 12 Real Time<\/em> episode, he discussed Charlie Kirk<\/a>\u2018s death with panelists Ben Shapiro<\/a> and The Atlantic<\/em> writer Tim Alberta. The Turning Point USA founder, 31, was\u00a0fatally shot on September 10<\/a>\u00a0while speaking at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n
