Comedian, pundit, and podcast host Bill Maher scolded author and podcast host Sam Harris for joking that President-choose Donald Trump’s technique is to get “some extra rapists” into his administration.

Harris — whose cultural brand is similar to Maher’s liberal-who-takes-on-liberals persona — was the visitor on this week’s adaptation of Maher’s Club Random Podcast.

Maher — a ordinary critic of what he views as extreme “wokeness” in liberal politics — stated that Trump appears to have long past too far “the other way” along with his cabinet picks, diversity-wise.

When he introduced up Safeguard Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth (whom he recognized as “Pete Hegsmith“), Harris drew a flag along with his funny story about “rapists”:

BILL MAHER: Now Trump folks. Perhaps they go a bit too a long way. I imply, I don’t assume there’s any, possibly there’s one individual of colour that he picked, but it surely’s simply no longer the way in which he thinks. And, you recognize, I don’t understand. One aspect is I’m too a long way a method. He’s too a ways the other way.

But generally, benefit does need to make a comeback. (LAUGHS) Not that the individuals that you picked have anything else to do with benefit.

SAM HARRIS: That’s actually not– to a degree that’s reasonably –.

BILL MAHER: Did I say dangerous instance? I imply Pete Hegg-Smith.

SAM HARRIS: Hegseth yeah.

BILL MAHER: Hegseth, whatev–

SAM HARRIS: Smartly, I mean, it’s like, will we get more rapists in right here? I imply, like, how is it that you just simply–.

BILL MAHER: oK. Well, that’s. That’s an awfully strong word. (LAUGHTER) You recognize.

SAM HARRIS: Smartly, we’ll find out. We’ll in finding out with this individual. I–. I don’t think this individual will come ahead as a result of.

BILL MAHER: Oh the Pete Hegseth woman? Yeah–

SAM HARRIS: I think he’s given this I imply, the woman freedom to come back ahead.

BILL MAHER: Would I be greatly surprised? I might not.

But I also assume in these incidents, since Bill Clinton has been credibly accused of doing the same thing as Trump has performed, I imply, past simply being handsy. Proper? That for the reason that Democrats by no means in point of fact seem to care about that. You’ve already misplaced the excessive floor on this. Yeah. You understand, you apparently most effective care.

SAM HARRIS: There’s a lesson in that. Don’t lose the fucking high ground. After which, like. Like, actually have integrity.
