“You can count about a dozen different things that Kamala Harris was very much in favor for four years ago, that she is no longer in favor for now,” Sexton said in remarks highlighted by Mediaite, adding later that “When she is pushed on it, she says something like, ‘I haven’t changed my values.’ I mean, you know, this isn’t like an eighth-grade social studies lecture.”
Whereas Maher agreed with Sexton that the Democratic nominee had flipped a few of her positions, he added that “all politicians do.” Then, he turned his consideration towards Trump.
“Trump’s superpower is that he is so f—ing insane! I mean, he is such a … an inveterate liar about anything he just pulls out of his a– at any time that that’s just baked into the cake and people accept that,” Maher mentioned throughout the panel dialogue.
“First there was the hurricane stuff,” he added, referring to GOP claims that FEMA was stealing cash from victims and inadequately ready to deal with hurricane reduction efforts within the Southeastern U.S. “Simply making s*** up in regards to the hurricane!”

“That when there was only a few COVID tests here in this country, he sent one to his buddy, Putin,” the host continued. “He said, if Kamala’s elected, it’d be the last real election. I’m rubber your glue much?”
He additionally weighed in on the previous president’s critique of Harris’s current interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
“She went on 60 Minutes. He said after that what she did was totally illegal,” Maher mentioned Friday. “Going on 60 Minutes? That CBS should lose their license for it, and she should be forced to concede the election.”
Harris went on ‘60 Minutes’ the place she was pressed on her financial agenda and perceived flip flopping on coverage positions. She was additionally questioned about her stances concerning fracking, immigration and Medicare.
Trump went after ‘60 Minutes,’ whose interview he pulled out of in keeping with the community, suggesting the information journal selectively edited components of the interview to make the vp look higher.
