Bill Maher Rips Lin-Manuel Miranda for Apologizing to the Woke Mob: ‘This Is Why People Hate Democrats’
Comedian Bill Maher chastised Lin-Manuel Miranda on Friday’s installment of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, saying that the In the Heights creator needs to stop apologizing to the woke mob because it makes Democrats look bad.
Bill Maher was responding to the “colorism” controversy around In the Heights that has seen virulent outrage over the movie’s decision to prioritize light-skinned Latinos over dark-skinned, or Afro-Latinos. Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted an apology this week, saying “I’m truly sorry” and “I promise to do better in my future projects.”
“Please, stop apologizing. You’re the guy who made the founding fathers black and Hispanic,” Maher said, referring to the musical Hamilton. “I don’t think that you have to apologize to Twitter. For ****’s sake. This is why people hate Democrats. It’s cringey.”
Maher said it is pointless to apologize because “nothing is ever good enough for these people.”
“I mean he’s a Latino making a Latino movie with a Latino cast — not good enough. Nothing is ever good enough for these people,” he said. “They’re like children. We don’t raise our children right and it’s reflected in the media. No one ever tells their children, ‘Shut the **** up. Sit down. Listen to your elders. Stop bitching.’”
