Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher slammed Hollywood for romanticizing gun violence while hating on those who tout real-life plots of “a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun.”
"It's funny, Hollywood is the 'wokest' place on Earth in every other area of social responsibility,” Maher said on his HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher, on Friday.
During his"New Rules" segment, Maher questioned why Hollywood often seeks to be on the so-called politically correct side of social hot topics but ignores the influence of gun violence portrayed on the big screen. "When liberals scream, ‘Do something!’ after a mass shooting, why aren't we also dealing with the fact that the average American kid sees 200,000 acts of violence on screens before the age of 18, and that according to the FBI, one of the warning signs of a potential school shooter is ‘a fascination with violence-filled entertainment?’" Maher said.
“We don’t show movie characters smoking anymore because it might look cool and influence children, but you’re telling me these cool dudes don’t influence them?” the host said.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER "Liberals hated it when Kyle Rittenhouse — they hated him but somehow the liberal capital of the world is okay with making 500 movies about vigilantes! They hate it when gun people say, 'It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun,’ but then they endlessly produce movies with that exact plot," he said.
