Liberal political comedian Bill Maher shared a stern message for the "liberal purists" who refused to support Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election: "Go fuck yourselves."



During the Friday episode of his HBO show "Real Time," Maher argued that the first 100 days of President Trump's presidency provides enough evidence to ask liberals who "couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary because she was the lesser of two evils."

"Quite a bit lesser, wouldn't you say now?" he added to applause.

Maher explained that this monologue wasn't about "reliving the last election or my great love for Clinton, which never was.

"This is about winning the next election," Maher said. "And that begins with learning the difference between an imperfect friend and a deadly enemy."

Amid a flurry of rhetorical questions, Maher made the point that Clinton as president, in contrast to Trump, wouldn't roll back climate change regulations, wouldn't be Russian President Vladimir Putin's "bitch," and support a healthcare plan to pay for a tax cut for herself.

"Do you really think if just-as-evil Hillary had been elected conservatives would now be in control of the Supreme Court as they will for decades? Just wait until the 5-to-4 decisions start rolling in gutting unions, making it harder for minorities to vote, siding with polluters, overturning abortion rights," Maher said.

"Then maybe you'll join me in saying to the liberal purists: Go fuck yourselves with the locally grown organic cucumber," Maher said.
