Marc Maron isn’t holding back when it comes to Bill Maher. On a recent episode of his podcast, the comedian and actor tore into Maher for agreeing with parts of Donald Trump’s second-term policies. Maron took issue with Maher’s comments, mocking him and questioning why he would try to find common ground with someone he believes has done real damage.
He didn’t just stop at the politics. Maron also criticized Maher’s public friendship with figures like Kid Rock, known for their vocal support of Trump. He mocked Maher’s attempts to play it cool while cozying up to those he once openly dismissed, calling out what he sees as hypocrisy.
This isn’t new territory for Maron. He’s long been vocal about his frustration with public figures — especially comedians — giving platforms to people with extreme views. According to him, it’s not edgy or balanced; it’s reckless.
In Maron’s eyes, agreeing with certain points from someone like Trump doesn’t make you nuanced — it makes you complicit. His blunt and biting commentary has drawn both praise and pushback, but if there’s one thing clear, it’s that Maron isn’t interested in playing nice.
