"Thank you for being here. I always say that to my Republican friends. I say it every week. The Republicans show up, Maher told Mace. The Democrats do not. I say it every week. Stop asking me why the Clintons have never been on the show! They're invited. AOC, all these people that never come. Ask them. Get on their case."
"You guys have been saying for a very long time that Trump just says stuff, but I mean come on. We've gone from just saying stuff now to, I mean James Comey. You know, I was saying in the monolog, you're not supposed to comment at all a president on an ongoing investigation. He called him bad person, sick guy, did terrible things, guilty as hell. Would you at least agree that we are in a very different place than we've ever been? Maher said."
"Mace argued Comey has gotten on the wrong side of both Republicans and Democrats in her defense of the indictment. My perspective is that I don't want us to rewrite history here. In 2016, Chuck Schumer said of James Comey that he lost all confidence in him. So there have been Republicans and there have Democrats who have expressed that James Comey has lied, has leaked, she argued."
Bill Maher accused Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of avoiding his show while praising Republicans for appearing and debating. He thanked Rep. Nancy Mace for joining the table and invited others like the Clintons and AOC to appear. Michael Smerconish also participated on the panel. Maher criticized former FBI Director James Comey for publicly commenting on an ongoing investigation, calling him a bad person and guilty as hell. Mace defended the indictment by noting bipartisan criticism of Comey, referencing Chuck Schumer's 2016 loss of confidence. Maher distinguished between mere opinion and commenting during active investigations.
