Bill Maher is slammed for saying that Democrats SHOULD make an issue of Amy Coney Barrett's Catholicism 'because being nuts is relevant'

Commentator Bill Maher has drawn backlash after calling Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett 'nuts' and arguing that Senate Democrats should make an issue of her Catholic faith.

'Chuck Schumer said Democrats won't make Barrett's religion an issue, but they should because being nuts is relevant,' Maher said in a monologue on HBO's Real Time on Friday.

After hearings this week, the Senate Judiciary Committee set October 22 for its vote to recommend Barrett´s nomination to the full Senate, with a final confirmation vote expected by month´s end.

And Sotomayor's Catholicism? Or Joe Biden's?

I know some will say they aren't really, but the Dems do not want to go there.

Normally I would say screw Maher and the horse he rode in on but since I do not have anything against horses I will just say screw you Maher. You are a walking, talking turd.

1 Corinthians 2: 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

To an atheist, all belief systems are to treated as magical thinking, and discarded. The New World Order views belief as “useful” only as it promotes their agenda.

Maher never had a POA that he didn't pay dearly for.

I'd pity him, but he's such an execrable POS.

Maher is the definition of blind and venal. I’ve avoided him for over 20 years now.

He’s a Hell bound bitch if ever there was one.

There are times when I almost can’t wait for CWII to kick off.

If someone said that about Jews or Muslims, they would be immediately kicked off the air.

Catholic, not so much.

As a practicing Catholic, I believe in forgiveness and I forgive Bill Maher for his ignorance. Just rather forgive him when he is unemployed.

Bill Maher is a coward. Period. Aside from the fact that he is wrong, Amy Coney Barrett is not nuts, nor is anyone nuts for being Catholic, Maher would not say this about any other group in the world. Plug in any group and imagine him saying it.

We care, just not that much. We know they’re wrong. We await and work toward the right time when the truth will come out and be acceptable. Nor are we afraid. We know.

Totally unrelated news: Joe Biden’s Catholic faith is a positive.

Forgiveness does not entail acceptance of nor denial these offenses.

Anyone with half a brain (that leaves out The Stupid Party) would mention that John Fitzgerald Kennedy, US President #35 was a Catholic. His entire family was Catholic. Irish Catholic. Hello? Anybody home?

Joementia Biden is a proud, practicing Catholic, so I assume Maher thinks he is Nuts.

Joe is an abortion defending Catholic. IMHO that defines a CINO, not a practicing Catholic. CINO’s are welcome by the leftist media.
