Bill Maher, the sharp-tongued host of Real Time, delivered another blistering monologue, this time targeting Hunter Biden and former First Lady Melania Trump in a segment that has since gone viral.
Maher didn't mince words as he mocked Hunter Biden's legal troubles, quipping, "If nepotism was an Olympic sport, Hunter would have a gold medal." The audience erupted in laughter as Maher doubled down, referencing Biden's controversial business dealings and well-documented personal struggles.
But the comedian didn't stop there. Turning his attention to Melania Trump, Maher made a pointed remark about her absence from public discussions on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. "Melania’s ‘Be Best’ campaign didn’t cover ‘Be Curious About Your Husband’s Friends,’" he joked, alluding to Donald Trump's past association with the disgraced financier.
The segment has reignited debates about political satire's role in holding public figures accountable—or simply piling on when they're down. Critics argue Maher's jokes cross into cruelty, while supporters applaud his no-holds-barred approach.
With midterm elections looming, Maher's commentary adds fuel to an already fiery political climate. Whether his barbs land as fair criticism or cheap shots depends largely on which side of the aisle you're sitting.
