Watch Bill Maher’s Anti-Mask Joke Send ‘The View’ Hosts Over The Edge – The Federalist

Left-wing comedian Bill Maher voiced Americas frustration over anti-science mask mandates, and it sent Whoopi Goldberg and her The View co-hosts spinning.

The Real Time with Bill Maher host echoed the exhaustion many Americans have felt about elites insistence on perpetuating a neverending pandemic.

This, its just gone on too long. Nobody cares anymore, Maher said on Friday. I dont want to live in a paranoid world anymore, your mask-paranoid world Its silly now. You know, you mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster, they scan your head like youre a cashier and Im a bunch of bananas. Im not bananas, you are!

While Maher spoke the mind of many Americans who are desperate for an end to the paranoia and precautions surrounding Covid, Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts slammed his comments on The View on Monday.Goldberg called Mahers segment insensitive and bizarrely accused him of insinuating that vaccinated Americans are sexually gratified by taking precautions against Covid.

Nobody on the planet really wants to go through this, Goldberg said. This is not something were doing because you know, its sexually gratifying.

She went on to accuse Maher of overlooking the risks Covid poses to children who arent approved for vaccination yet, ignoring the fact that children are at extremely low risk of dying from Covid. How dare you be so flippant, man? she continued.

I dont think were to the post-mask part, chimed in co-host Sara Haines. Kind of like 9/11 with flying, [Covid restrictions are] always gonna be here now, theres a new normal. I may never go indoors to big crowds and ever feel comfortable without a mask.

Goldbergs far-fetched accusations are hardly merited by Mahers comments, which speak for most Americans who are exhausted by paranoia surrounding the virus and the mandates that have emerged from it. Americans are desperate for an end to prolonged mask mandates, while government officials are claiming there is no end in sight.

Last month, during an interview, Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABCs Jonathan Karl that mask-wearing on airplanes will likely continue despite the fact that more than half of Americans are fully vaccinated.

Fauci signaled to Karl that, while he would support vaccine mandates for domestic flights, vaccine mandates dont mean mask-wearing shouldnt still continue.

A vaccine requirement for a person getting on the plane is just another level of getting people to have a mechanism that would spur them to get vaccinated, Fauci said. So I mean, anything that could get people more vaccinated would be welcome.

However, he continued, We want to make sure people keep their masks on. I think the idea of taking masks off, in my mind, is really not something we should even be considering.

Mahers comments raise the question that is on so many Americans minds: When will this end? While coronavirus may dissipate, it is clear that there is no end in sight for the mandates it enabled. Whats more, theobscene reactions from Goldberg and others to occasional rationality from their fellow leftists prove there is deep-seated division in this country that, like mask mandates, isnt going away anytime soon.
