On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” host and comedian Bill Maher criticized Democrats for believing that the Russia story and special counsel Robert Mueller will save them.

During a discussion with the panel on a potential permanent Republican Party majority, Maher said, “I think Democrats are complacent. They think Russia’s going to save us, that Bob Mueller’s going to come in with a report and –.”

After Mediaite founder Dan Abrams asked Maher if he really thinks that Democrats think that Bob Mueller will be their savior, Maher responded, “Yeah, I do.”
