‘You Know You’re Somebody’s B****’: Bill Maher Slams Celebrities for Refusing to Stand Up to China

HBO host 👤Bill Maher called out celebrities he believes are refusing to stand up to China.

During an episode of his show, Maher mentioned Olympic skier Eileen Gu who chose to compete for China instead of the United States where she was born.

“Is that cool now to choose to represent a totalitarian police state over America?” Maher said.

He added, “The Olympics pretends to only be about sports, but of course, the games have always been a bit of a proxy war for which country has the best system. And by choosing Team China, Eileen Gu became a living symbol of China’s triumph over the West, which wouldn’t bother me so much if I thought China had triumphed over us in the ways that really matter. But they haven’t.”

Maher recognized there are human rights issues in the United States.

Still, he argued, “We’re still at least, for another three years, a democracy based on freedom, and they are an authoritarian surveillance state based on ‘How would you like to disappear for a few months?'”

He continued, “Like that tennis player who recently vanished for a while when she said she had been raped by a government official. We do still throw too many black people in jail, but perspective matters.”

Maher went on to accuse China of jailing an entire ethnic minority, explaining, “A situation that both the Trump and Biden administrations has called a genocide. America is not close to that. And it’s a cynical dodge to pretend that China’s sins should be overlooked because we all do it. No.”
