A couple of creeps...
Bill Maher, who took credit for the downfall of Milo Yiannopoulos, has also defended adult sex with children
Comedian Bill Maher felt proud of himself after the downfall of former Breitbart editor and alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.
Last Friday, Yiannopoulos appeared on “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Days later, Yiannopoulos lost his book deal with Simon & Schuster, had his invitation to speak at CPAC rescinded and publicly resigned from Breitbart after a series of videos surfaces in which Yiannopoulos appears to be condoning sexual relationships between adults and children as young as 13-years-old.
Though the two didn’t discuss adult sex with children during the segment, Maher took some credit for Yiannopoulos’ downfall.
“As I say, sunlight is the best disinfectant,” he said during an interview with the New York Times on Wednesday. “You’re welcome.”
But in the wake of Yiannopoulos’ downfall, Maher’s self-righteousness has been undercut by a video of the comedian himself defending adults having sex with minors.
.............................................................................................................
The clip was published to YouTube on Wednesday and has quickly amassed more than 100,000 views. It shows a 1998 segment from his former show “Politically Correct with Bill Maher,” in which Maher defends Mary Kay Letourneau to a panel that includes Lisa Montgomery Kennedy, Henry Rollins, Celeste Greig and Cedric the Entertainer.
For those who may not remember, Letourneau was a 34-year-old Seattle teacher who had an ongoing sexual relationship with a student when he was 12 years old. She also gave birth to two of his children, one of them while incarcerated. After spending several years in prison, she married the student.
In the clip, Maher said Letourneau was in jail “for being in love.”
