“Real Time” host Bill Maher continued to paint himself as a progressive critic of President Donald Trump while also taking a swipe at former Vice President Kamala Harris for criticizing the Iran war — admitting on Friday that he doesn’t “hate it.”

“Also, this week, war,” said Maher. “Did you hear about that thing? We bombed Iran and it’s going on. Now, if you expect me to say I hate it, I don’t. Sorry! When he puts boots on the ground, yeah, then I’ll hate it. Now, I know too many happy Iranian Americans, sorry.”
...
“I mean, Kamala Harris made a statement, she said, ‘This is a war the American people don’t want,’” Maher continued. “And who knows more about what the American people don’t want?”
...
“I just don’t get what liberals don’t get about liberation,” said Maher. “I see so much happiness. I see it in Venezuela, I see it here in Iran. Could we skip the part where we talk about, ‘Oh, they had so many different reasons for going to war,’ ‘regime change’ and ‘we gotta get rid of the nukes’ and ‘they were supporters of terrorism.’”
