Bill Maher slams Democrats for supporting 'conspiracy' by Facebook to suppress Hunter Biden's laptop

Bill Maher, a host of a liberal talk show, said there was a "conspiracy to get rid of" ex-president Donald Trump that involved hiding the New York Times' infamous Hunter Biden laptop story. During Maher's appearance on Friday's version of his hit HBO show 'Real Time,' he made his remarks.' The New York Post announced a highly researched article in October 2020 claiming that Hunter's laptop had been recovered by the FBI. According to reports, President Joe Biden's son was attempting to sell the prestige of his father. Sam Harris was on a podcast, and now that all the mainstream media has accepted it as a true story, not pussyfoot on this.' Maher went on: "I mean, most political sons do." ... Hunter Biden's laptop was buried by the press, and Jack Dorsey, who was also the face of Twitter, said it was a mistake. They buried the tale because they remembered what happened with James Comey and the letter 11 days before the 2016 election.' 'Sam Harris wrote that it was appropriate for Twitter and the heads of major tech and journalism organisations to feel that they were in the presence of something that is a once-in-a-lifetime moral crisis,' the former Politically Incorrect host said. 'Well, he's said that getting rid of someone as bad as Trump is fine,' Maher said.
