Bill Maher slams Kamala Harris on Israel-Hamas situation: Just 'shut up'
Vice President Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D), still can't seem to find an acceptable answer for their leftwing critics on the Israel-Hamas situation, and it's a drag on their campaign, to say the least.
According to Breitbart, die-hard liberal and HBO’s "Real Time" host Bill Maher torched Harris for recent remarks on what she believes should be a solution for after the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The talk show host held nothign back, suggesting Harris' solution is "so bad" that she should just "shut up" and not say anything at all.
A growing element of the left have soured on Harris -- and President Joe Biden -- over their handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, costing them all dearly in the polls.
What did he say?
Maher, as usual, decided not to filter his true feelings as far as what Harris remarked regarding solutions for after the war deescalates.
"Here’s what Kamala Harris said this week about what we should do when the war is over: no reoccupation of Gaza, no changing of the territorial lines of Gaza, and an ability to have security in the region for all concerned in a way that we create stability. I feel like if that’s what you have to say, don’t say anything, just shut up," Maher said.

Maher added, "Everybody who talks about Israel these days is just so full of shit or just — I don’t want children to die, duh, who does? None of us want children to die, none of us want this war to go on."
The "Real Time" host argued that such words do not address the real problem.
"But it’s not addressing what the problem is, the problem is that one side wants a two-state solution — or at least always did, it’s a little more right-wing now, I’m talking about Israel, but that still has been their position. One side never did and still doesn’t. One side uses terrorism to get their goals, one side retaliates against terrorism," he said.
Genocide accusations
Maher noted how one side accuses Israel of committing "genocide" when they're really not, and noted that the other side would actually love to commit the genocide of Israelis.
"One side is accused of genocide, but doesn’t do it, the other side actually would love to do it. People keep saying, Israel has the right to defend itself. … And then, whenever Israel does, they object to it," Maher added.
Social media users reacted to Maher's assessment of Harris' approach to the conflict.
"Kamala sounds like a clown every time she opens her mouth about the conflict," one X user wrote.
