HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher weighs in on the division in MAGA over the conflict in Iran, and criticized claims that Israel is behind U.S. policy. Maher criticized former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent as an anti-Semite and said he is “listening to too much Tucker Carlson.”

BILL MAHER: The way I see this MAGA split is like this kind of like MAGA classic and they say, you know, they feel betrayed because he was like the no new wars guy. You know this. Okay. I know the argument. Okay, that’s the argument. Is that he didn’t keep to his principles. And then there’s the other people who say, well, he never had any principles. That’s not why we love him. We love him because we trust his judgment. And we love him because he’s flexible. That’s why he’s different everybody else. He can turn on a dime. And sometimes that is a good thing. Sometimes that is a good thing. But you have now this guy, Joe Kent. Who was Joe Kent? He was the head of national something. He was he quit this week. It was a big story. I think he was the counterintelligence guy. And he said, I can’t go along with this because you know what? He’s been listening to too much Tucker Carlson. It’s you know, the Jews made us do it. It’s just another version of anti-Semitism that comes out. First it was BDS. Then it was their colonizers and genocide, which it wasn’t. All these other reasons like you can’t have a state in the world that’s based on religion. Even though there’s like 46 Muslim countries that are based on religion. Some have the name right in the title of the country. But whatever it is, you have all these. And now the big answer is, no, Israel made us do it. We’re Israel’s bitch. I don’t think we’re Israel’s bitch. I think we’re Israel’s ally. But you know, if I have to be on one side of this MAGA thing, either Trump or Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes, I’ll be with Trump on this one. Because that’s the other side of MAGA.
