The justice 'talks about black people voting as an entitlement,' Maher said. Maher: Scalia more racist than Deen

Taking a swing at the Supreme Court’s decision on the Voting Rights Act, Bill Maher mocked Justice Antonin Scalia as “more racist” than Paula Deen.

The liberal comic on Friday quoted Scalia saying it’s difficult to remove “racial entitlements” through the normal political process.


“Just the fact that he talks about black people voting as an entitlement, that is so much more racist than anything Paula Deen ever said,” Maher said on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”.

He went on to defend Deen’s recent flap over her use of the “N word” as a punishment that did not fit the crime.

“We have replaced having a conversation about race with ‘oh OK, liberals feel good about themselves if they make the bad person go away,’” Maher said. “Who’s the bad person? The one we caught saying that one word. Donald Trump is a worse racist but he gets to keep his show because he never said the word. Sarah Palin is a worse racist, she said Obama was shucking and jiving his way to victory. Newt Gingrich said he was the food stamp president. This is real racism.”
