On Friday’s “New Rules” segment, Maher set his sights on what he calls right-wing “instant heroes.” We all know who they are — the people who become famous for being hateful bigots or self-righteous religious zealots, only to embody some incredibly questionable traits once they are put under the microscope of the 24-hour news cycle. First, Maher listed off a number of these people who the right-wing has rallied behind, only to find out that they are of dubious character:
“Republicans have to stop being surprised when their instant heroes turn out to be embarrassments. They’re so anxious to buddy-up to the forgotten good people that when a Kim Davis or a ‘Joe the Plumber’ or a Cliven Bundy come along, they rush to say ‘Now here’s a real American’ when they should be saying ‘What’s up with this asshole?’”
