\n\tYou know you\u2019re out there when Bill Maher<\/a> thinks you\u2019re too \u201cgross\u201d to talk to \u2014 or even about.<\/p>\n

\n\tShortly before he introduced a story about the Japanese art of \u201cb*tt-breathing,\u201d the Real Time<\/a> host said of another topic, \u201cI almost didn\u2019t want to talk about this person because he\u2019s so gross, but it\u2019s such a big issue\u2026This guy Nick Fuentes<\/a>\u2026He\u2019s what I would call \u2018a racist\u2019s racist.\u2019 He\u2019s just this troll. He\u2019s the guy who runs on the field at a baseball game. So you don\u2019t take the picture of him. But we kind of have to talk about him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tInterjected guest Bill O\u2019Reilly, \u201cDoes that mean we can beat him up? Because that\u2019s what happens when you go on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI would like to,\u201d Maher responded, who then called Fuentes and his followers \u201cpointlessly politically incorrect,\u201d name-dropping his own former ABC show.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this week, Tucker Carlson took heat <\/a>for having Fuentes on his podcast. Fuentes in the past has professed admiration for Hitler and Stalin, insulted feminists with the slogan \u201cYour body, my choice. Forever\u201d and has insisted that \u201call sex is gay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe controversial Fuentes made waves on Carlson\u2019s show, ranting about \u201cneocon Jewish types behind the Iraq War\u201d and \u201cZionist Jews \u2026 controlling the media apparatus.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMaher responded on his own show Friday with a scathing version of his satirical segment \u201c24 Things You Don\u2019t Know About Me,\u201d dedicated to Fuentes.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the alleged details Maher\u2019s staff unearthed, delivered in first-person as if from Fuentes\u2019 POV: \u201cMy drag queen name is \u2018Jan Sixth\u201d; \u201cI\u2019m not gay, but a guy I\u2019m f*cking is\u201d; \u201cI once called ICE on the part of me that is Mexican\u201d; and \u201cKanye once asked me if I was off my meds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYou can watch the bit below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the segment, O\u2019Reilly asked Maher why he hasn\u2019t had Fuentes on his show. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s a bridge too far for me. He\u2019s just a troll. He\u2019s not sincere. It\u2019s just gross. I didn\u2019t even want to talk about him tonight,\u201d replied Maher.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou have to talk about him,\u201d contended O\u2019Reilly, \u201cBecause he broke through [the media noise].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tO\u2019Reilly then said, \u201cI didn\u2019t invite him on my program. You can get somebody like him at Speakers Corner in London any time you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRight,\u201d replied Maher.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo, why would you have him and waste all these nice peoples\u2019 time?\u201d asked O\u2019Reilly, gesturing to the audience, which applauded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You know you\u2019re out there when Bill Maher thinks you\u2019re too \u201cgross\u201d to talk to \u2014 or even…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[13689,49,48,75,124618,68682,348],"class_list":{"0":"post-271792","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-bill-maher","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-nick-fuentes","13":"tag-real-time","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
