« Real Time » host Bill Maher took a swipe at Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Tx., widely seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, for talking like a « podcaster » instead of a political leader.
Crockett went viral this week for comments she made bashing President Trump’s address to Congress.
« This is not America. This is a terrible nightmare. Somebody slap me and wake me the f— up because I’m ready to get on with it, » Crockett said.

Those comments didn’t sit well with Maher.
« And here’s Jasmine Crockett, who is, I thought, a big leader in the Democratic Party. Her quote is, ‘This is a terrible nightmare. Somebody slapped me and wake me the f— up because I’m ready to get on with it.’ On with what, would be my first question, » Maher reacted.
« And also, this is the way a leader- this is how a podcaster talks or some s—. ‘F— it, man.’ Can you imagine, I don’t know, Obama saying, ‘Oh, man, dude. This s— is whack. F— it. Slap me. I’m f—ing over it.’ C’mon man, » he continued.

Maher agreed with the sentiment of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., over his condemnation of his party during Trump’s address, which he called a « sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance. »
Maher took shots at Rep. Al Green, D-Tx., who he referred to as « the cane dude, » as well as the Democratic lawmakers wearing the « p—y hat uniform » and holding paddles looking like they were at « an auction. »

He later pleaded Democrats to « be a viable alternative » to Trump.
« You can’t do anything because you lost the election, you lost all three branches of government, okay? » Maher said. « The only thing you can do is be somebody- a party who when the independent voter looks at the scene says, ‘Oh, you know what? I don’t like what Trump is doing, but these people are crazier’. »
The liberal comedian went on to blast The New York Times for a report suggesting Democrats were « divided » between resisting Trump « or » courting the center of the electorate.
« It’s not an ‘or,' » Maher exclaimed. « That is how you stand up to Trump! You court the center! You go to the place where people are going to vote for you! »
