On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s behavior before the Senate Judiciary Committee was a “pageant” of white privilege.

Maher said, “I mean, the whole thing was such a pageant of, when people ask, what does white privilege mean? This is a pageant of it.”

Maher further stated that calling Kavanaugh is a rapist is going too far because “we don’t know what was in a 17-year-old’s mind. I think he definitely attacked her in that room.” He added that Kavanaugh is “a bad dude.”
