HBO’s Bill Maher William (Bill) Maher Americans just don’t want the costs of Biden’s Build Back Better bill to “slow blow” – reporters need to do a better job than comedians Dave Chappelle, whose Netflix special has been criticized for being transphobic.

“What was that reaction?” Maher said on her Friday show, according to Fox News. “Everyone needs Netflix and to relax on it.”

Chappelle has been in the hot water for his special, “The Closer”, in which he makes several remarks, stating that “Gender is a fact” and proclaiming that “I am the TERF team!” – referring to radical transexclusionist feminists. Earlier this week, Netflix employees staged a walkout to show solidarity with the trans community and protest the Netflix special.

“Really? Dave’s special is offensive but not the Koreans killing each other for money?” Maher insolently asserted, referring to “Squid Game,” which also airs on Netflix, according to Fox News.

Maher went on to further defend Chappelle’s right to free speech saying, “We cannot be afraid to speak in America.”

Later, in a panel with “Woke Racism” author John McWhorter and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang Andrew Yang Progressive economic theories collide with troublesome truths Andrew Yang weighs in on Dave Chappelle: quit the Party Democrat MORE Maher said “there is not just one true opinion”.

“I’m a free speech guy. Now I’m Team Dave, but that doesn’t mean I’m anti-trans. We can have two thoughts in mind at the same time,” Maher continued, who said he supports trans rights.

“I’m Team Dave, but that doesn’t mean I’m anti-trans. We can have two thoughts on our minds at the same time.”

However, those who participated in the Netflix employee walkout, which included several prominent guests such as “Transparent” creator Joey Soloway, reported a different tone from Maher.

“Trans people are in the midst of a holocaust,” Soloway reportedly said during Wednesday’s walkout. “Apartheid, murder, state of emergency, human rights crisis, there is a mental health crisis. There is a suicide crisis, a bullying crisis, a crisis of anxiety, of depression, of self-hatred.
