"Maher had mocked Kimmel's wife, Molly McNearney, on HBO's Real Time on November 21 after she disclosed on a podcast that she had severed ties with members of her family over their support for the president. McNearney, who works as a co-head writer and executive producer of her husband's ABC show, also revealed that she had warned family members that a vote for Trump felt like a vote against her family."
"At the time, Maher said he could list 100 reasons not to vote for Trump but would never present it as an ultimatum. Instead, he urged Democrats to examine why 77 million Americans didn't want to trust you with taking power. Reflecting on the fallout on Sunday, Maher told pundit Ana Kasparian during a sit-down on his own Club Random Podcast that Kimmel and his wife were angry at him, for which he apologized before doubling down on his stance."
Bill Maher defended mocking Jimmy Kimmel's wife for issuing a pre-election ultimatum that severed family ties over support for President Donald Trump. Molly McNearney, a co-head writer and executive producer on Kimmel's ABC show, warned family that a vote for Trump felt like a vote against her family and said she cut ties with relatives who supported the president. Maher said he could list 100 reasons not to vote for Trump but would not present an ultimatum, and urged Democrats to examine why 77 million Americans voted for Trump. Maher apologized to Kimmel and McNearney then doubled down, calling himself in the "talk to them" wing rather than the "cut your people off" side.
