Bill Maher criticized the 2024 presidential candidates for their performances this week, mocking Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for their “boring” CNN interview and calling Walz Harris an “emotional support vice president.”
The comedian took a dig at the presidential candidates in his opening monologue on his Max show, Real Time, on Friday.
On Thursday, Harris sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for her first interview as a Democratic presidential candidate.
“Last night we finally got to interview Kamala Harris,” Maher said. “Not just her, but Tim Walz, her vice president for emotional support.”
“It was kind of weird, he just sat there for a long time not saying anything. He was just nodding his head while she was talking. The women’s focus group said he must be a wonderful husband. But really, it was just the same and he wasn’t saying anything. It was like watching Jeopardy when one of the players can’t get the buzzer to ring.”

Maher called Tim Walz Kamala Harris’ “emotional support vice president” and said his presence at the interview was “strange”
Republican strategists criticized his decision to bring Walz along, calling it “weak” and saying it implies “she can’t be left unattended.”
Maher said: ‘It’s so funny, the media was furious that she didn’t want to do an interview, and now she finally does and doesn’t ask a single question about abortion, Ukraine, homelessness, the opioid crisis, the national debt, and then they wonder why kids get their news from TikTok.
‘Donald Trump, of course, had to tweet while watching (the interview). Boring (Trump called it). Fine. I’d love something boring.
“That’s what I want on this ticket. It’s Harris-Walz, not Deadpool-Wolverine.”
Maher criticized Nancy Pelosi on Friday’s show for her successful plot to oust Joe Biden from the 2024 election race.

The late-night host then criticized Trump for a trip to Arlington National Cemetery that included an altercation with a staff member there.
“When park residents asked him to stop, he pushed them aside. His thugs simply pushed her away,” Maher said.
“Ever wonder what Donald Trump is like in real life? Tony Soprano without the introspection.”
Arlington National Cemetery is considered a sacred site for the U.S. military and is administered by the Army.
Trump, who is seeking a second term in the White House, was invited on Monday to visit relatives of some of the soldiers killed three years ago when US troops left Afghanistan.
Maher criticized Trump for his debacle at Arlington Cemetery, where a member of Trump’s team and a cemetery employee clashed.
A member of Trump’s team and a cemetery employee clashed over the presence of a photographer in Section 60, the area of the cemetery where U.S. troops who died in recent wars are buried, according to reports.
“There is a law, as there should be, at Arlington National Cemetery, where our greatest and bravest are buried, that you can’t take pictures, you can’t use it as campaign material,” Maher said.
‘Of course, when Trump heard this, he said, ‘The laws, right?’ And they told him to stop. And he was furious. He said, ‘You’re ruining a perfectly good exploitation of a tragedy.’
‘Then he took some flowers from someone’s grave and said, “Send this to Melania.”
