Bill Maher addressed Charlie Kirk’s assassination during Friday night’s episode of Real Time , where he started the episode off by noting that it had been a “very ugly week in America.”
During his opening monologue, Maher touched on the current state of politics in the United States in the wake of the shooting. He began, “It’s a very ugly week in America with violence of all kinds: political violence, regular violence, a lot of people talking about a civil war.”
“And then today in Congress, because Charlie Kirk got assassinated, [Colorado Representative] Lauren Boebert stood up and said, ‘We need to have a prayer.’ So they started to have a silent prayer. And then she started screaming, ‘No! Silent prayers get silent results.’ As if praying out loud gets big results,” Maher continue
