During his New Rules segment, Bill Maher unloaded on Republicans for not caring about reality and facts and demonstrated just how far off the deep end that Republicans have gone.
Bill Maher talked about how Internet has made it easy for lies and half-truths to be spread, and then discussed the Republican Party’s lack of concern about facts.
Maher said:
Yes, more than ever people today are living a fact free lifestyle, which is great news for the Republican candidates because when they are confronted on their lies now, they just say, “Oh, I see what you’re doing by fact checking me, I just don’t care, because my fans don’t care.”
A couple of years ago we did a piece here where I introduced the term zombie lies, which are Republican talking points that can not be killed despite being disproven time and time again. Things like voter fraud being rampant or tax cuts paying for themselves, or Lindsey Graham just hasn’t met the right girl.
But in a very short time, Republicans have gone from even the zombie lie to just making sh*t up. Ted Cruz says the federal government is going after school districts trying to force them to let boys shower with little girls. Carly Fiorina is one of the new breed of politicians who claim to see things that aren’t there. She said she watched a Planned Parenthood video of “a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain. But that video doesn’t exist unless you subscribe to Nutflix.
