Bill Maher Calls Out Patton Oswalt Over Progressive ‘Bubble’

👤Bill Maher took aim at fellow comedian Patton Oswalt on Monday, arguing that the liberal actor lives in a bubble and is out of touch with how far some 🏛️Progressive policies have gone.

According to Fox News, the conversation unfolded on Oswalt’s “Club Random” podcast, where Maher pressed him on issues ranging from education to gender 🏛️Politics.

Oswalt pushed back against the notion that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is too far left for mainstream America.

“This country is not as mature as it thinks it is,” he said. “We elected Obama, and clearly the country freaked out. We’re still living in that freak-out. We are not as progressed and evolved, and intelligent as we think we are.”

Maher countered that the left often overreacts, too. “The left freaked out about a lot of bulls—,” he said, citing areas where Democrats, in his view, went too far.

Oswalt asked for specifics, and Maher responded by listing topics including gender, race, education, homelessness, crime, and the border.

“We stopped being a scientific people,” Maher argued, saying some policies stray from evidence-based approaches. Oswalt disagreed, insisting progressives still rely on facts. Maher shot back, pointing to what he called “gender bulls— that they went way too far with. That’s not scientific.”
