Bill rolled over in deference to the man's service? It was very odd imo.

I definitely felt Maher had a bad day. Crenshaw is dangerous. I do hope Bill interviews him again as promised and the outcome is different.

I definitely felt Maher had a bed day.

I saw it. His conservative spin was:

Trump doesn't lie, he justs projects 'positive' because that's what marketing people do. (rationalization).

The Democrats are just as bad. (false equivalence)

I don't agree with all Trump's actions, but look how great he has been at the economy! (Well, before the virus) (false equivalence, evasion)

How could Trump have handled COVID-19 better? What is he, a fortune teller? (blatantly false, given facts)

I'm a veteran, so be nice and don't challenge my thinly disguised right wing views too much. (emotional blackmail)

In my view, though I'm a great fan of Bill Maher, he wasn't up to this interview. A better progressive doing a deconstruction of this guy's smiley devious apologism for Trump was needed.

Rep. Crenshaw is a “free market” supporter of employer-based insurance and healthcare as a profit center. The coronavirus has exposed these systems to be a death knell for America—which we already knew. But his donors, comprised of private insurance and healthcare corporations, not to mention oil, banking, prison, and war industries, demand more and more at the expense of millions of lives. But if sounding measured and reasonable is the measure, then he wins. While the rest of us lose.
