Rep. Wesley Hunt Destroys Bill Maher After He Calls Trump’s Parade “Fascist”
MAHER: “Do I think it was a good idea to have a parade? No, but if you’re going to have a vaguely fascist parade, do it right.”
Rep. Wesley Hunt: “You know what I saw? I saw the President salute the Corps of Cadets as they walked past him. I watched him salute the 75th Ranger Regiment as they walked past him. I sat there and watched the fireworks behind the Washington Monument. And you know what I thought? ‘Damn. That’s absolutely outstanding.’ And it’s far better than Joe Biden checking his watch when bodies were being returned to Dover.”
Liberal guest tries interrupting: “Okay, wait a minute.”
HUNT: “Hold on. This is a contrast that we were talking about on why you lost, because we are talking about a man that’s talking about patriotism. And in parades like that, when I was growing up, I served because I used to go to these parades and watch my dad participate in them.
“I saw the Blackhawks landing. I visited my sister at West Point. I said, ‘By God, I want to serve this country, too.’ And so the dichotomy of what we’re seeing with President Trump and his patriotism—saluting the flag, actually making an effort—whether you like it or agree with the execution, the effort is there. That’s all we want to see.”
My gosh, that was beautifully said.
Maher had no comeback. He was forced to retreat and ended up thanking Hunt for his service.
