Bill Maher’s most recent comments came shortly after President Donald Trump’s remarks during the eulogy for Graham at the Washington National Cathedral drew criticism.
While reading from his prepared speech, Trump noted, “Virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey,” then paused to add, “Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. Not everybody.”
Trump then deviated from his script again when speaking about the late senator.
“He was a tough cookie,” Trump stated. “I have to be — I have to veer from this for a second. He was a tough cookie, darling. But he was beautiful.”
These statements quickly circulated on social media, where detractors accused Trump of turning the memorial into a platform focused on himself.
One user on X commented: “Wowwww this guy is completely unhinged. Roasting the guy at his funeral proceeding?”
Another user remarked: “He can even take a eulogy and make it about himself.”
