Oil and water. Oscar and Felix. Entering tonight’s Real Time, you’d expect Sen. Ted Cruz and Bill Maher to fit into that “don’t mix” category.
You’d be wrong, for the most part. Although they sparred at times, the two political opposites found that they were often on the same page.
Cruz is out supporting his new book, Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America, and surprisingly admitted his admiration for the “old-school liberal” Maher, who Cruz said was “funny as hell” and “believes in free speech.”
“I actually appreciate what you do,” Cruz said, adding he has retweeted some of Maher’s monologues.
Maher seemed taken aback. “I feel realky bad about the jokes I did about you,” he said. He acknowledged he is often accused of slowly getting more conservative, basically because he refuses to “bend the knee” to the more “crazy train” ideas of the left.
Cruz said that the “echo chambers” that people create are troubling. “If you watch Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity,” he said, the result is “not good for America that we don’t talk to each other.”
Maher asked Cruz how he defines “woke.”
“It’s intertwined with cultural Marxism, Cruz said, blaming major institutions that have been captured by the extreme left,” starting with universities.
Cruz then blew a joke about Harvard and screwing in lightbulbs, which Maher teased him about, noting that politicians should not try to be funny.
Cruz countered that “you can’t do this job without laughing or enjoying it. There are too many politicians who act like they got a stick up their ass.”
Maher was impressed. “I never saw this side of you,” he said, adding that Cruz’s reputation is that he is widely disliked.
