Bill Maher says our country is no longer divided by left vs. right …. it’s divided by people who want war and people who don’t.
The ‘Real Time’ host noted … what Charlie Kirk was doing at the time he was assassinated was foundational to our country — exercising the right of free speech while inviting others to freely disagree with him. It wasn’t lost on Maher … who pointed out the banner above Charlie Kirk read “Prove me wrong.”
Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire, offered a terrifying stat — 42% of young people believe violence can be a response to offensive speech. Shapiro and Maher later sparred over whether Tyler Robinson was a left-winger.

Tim Alberta from The Atlantic made a pretty fundamental point — political violence is now becoming acceptable in America.
Kirk invited debate throughout his career, appearing 4 months ago on an episode of Maher’s podcast, “Club Random,” where they aired their disagreements in a civilized way.
