Bill Maher Goes All in for Bernie Sanders: ‘F*ck Yeah’ He’s Ready to Be Commander-in-Chief

During a segment of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedic host went all out in his defense of Bernie Sanders’ foreign policy experience.

During the segment, the lefties at the table agreed that Sanders is excellent on economic issues. Though some seemed skeptical that Sanders has the same grasp of foreign policy issues. Maher was asked by MSNBC’s Alex Wagner if he seriously thinks that Sanders is fit to lead the nation as president when it comes to foreign policy matters. Wagner asks Maher:

“Do you want Bernie Sanders getting off Air Force One, making a deal on foreign police with…? Do you think he’s at the level that we need?”

Maher responds to Wagner’s question, saying:

“Fuck yeah! The guy who voted right on the Iraq war? Yea, I do.”

Then, Armstrong Williams, an advisor for Ben Carson, decided to chime in. Williams implies that it doesn’t actually matter how well Sanders knows foreign policy. That’s because Sanders would be surrounded by experts.

Bill Maher really let loose tonight on the idea that Bernie Sanders doesn’t have a chance to be president, telling the “I like Bernie but…” people to just “shut up.” He said in an election year where Donald Trump is giving the finger to every single person who said he wouldn’t make it in the election, people shouldn’t be throwing cold water on Sanders’ chances when he could actually go all the way. MSNBC’s Alex Wagner pushed back a bit on the Sanders love, saying he preaches “absolute idealism” and asking Maher if he honestly thinks Sanders is qualified enough to lead America on the world stage. He cried, “Fuck yeah! The guy who voted right on the Iraq war? Yea, I do.” Things got a bit awkward when Ben Carson adviser Armstrong Williams tried to pile on Sanders’ foreign policy chops, only for Maher to turn the tables and ask him what about his own guy’s “no qualifications.” Despite presidential candidate Bernie Sander’s less than stellar responses to foreign policy questions during the Democratic debate earlier this week, Real Time host Bill Maher gave the Vermont senator his full-throated support saying, “F*ck yeah!” when asked if Sanders was ready to become Commander in Chief. With MSNBC analyst Alex Morgan saying she believed Sanders won the first half of the debate dealing with jobs and the economy, she stated that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clearly was superior when it came to the foreign policy portion. “Do you want Bernie Sanders getting off Air Force One making a deal with–,” Wagner asked Maher. “Seriously — on foreign policyn — do you think that he’s at the level that we need–” Wagner never finished her question as Maher jumped right in. “F*ck yeah!’ he exclaimed to cheers from the audience. “The guy who voted right on the Iraq war?” he shot back. “Yeah I do.” Watch the video below captured by Mediaite:
