"SEN. ELISSA SLOTKIN (D-MI): Actually, it's interesting. I mean, long before October 7th, I stopped taking AIPAC money, not because of Israel or any other issue like that, but because they were giving money to people who had been participating in January 6th. And for me, as someone who barricaded herself in her office on January 6, I just, I didn't agree with that."
"BILL MAHER: (CHUCKLES) All right. CROWD: (APPLAUSE) BILL MAHER: There we go. Convenient for you. (LAUGHS) SEN. ELISSA SLOTKIN (D-MI): It's not convenient when you barricade yourself in your office."
"STEPHEN A. SMITH: I think I can respect that. I certainly respect that, I don't disagree. What I'm saying, the part that I disagree with is that if somebody has been supporting you, not you specifically, but if somebody's been supporting you religiously."
Bill Maher confronted Sen. Elissa Slotkin about her decision to stop accepting AIPAC funds, linking it to the January 6 riot.
