WATCH Bill Maher Destroy Trump Defender Jeffrey Lord: ‘Don’t Bullsh*t Me!’

Even Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters and apologists are now having trouble defending the alleged president in light of the daily revelations that nearly every member of his inner circle had undisclosed contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.

Friday night on Real Time With Bill Maher, Trump acolyte Jeffrey Lord was asked by the host how in the world he could possibly support a “vulgar human being” like the so-called head of state. Lord replied that Hillary Clinton was vulgar for making her “basket of deplorables” comment during the campaign. Then he said Russia had no influence on the race for the White House because no actual voting machines were hacked.

Maher immediately fired back at Lord, shouting:

“Don’t bullshit me!”

What about the fact that 17 American intelligence agencies have said Russia interfered in the election? Maher asked. And why doesn’t Trump just release his tax returns so we can see any financial ties he might have to Russia? Lord responded that Congress should investigate Nancy Pelosi for meeting with the Russian ambassador, just as Attorney General Jeff Sessions did.

A clearly exasperated Maher rolled his eyes and commented:

“Well, let’s have an investigation to her. But Russians didn’t hack Nancy Pelosi’s election. They hacked our election, all of our intelligence agencies said for one side to win, your side. Are you telling me if it had worked out the other way and they were only hacking the Republicans to get Hilary elected you’d let it slide?”

After repeated grilling from Maher, Lord finally relented and said he would “probably be in favor of an investigation anyway” into Russian influence on the 2016 election.
