‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher struck out at American celebrities who he said ‘kowtow’ to China on Friday night, including California-born Olympic skier Eileen Gu who is competing for China, her mother’s homeland, in this year’s Beijing Olympics.
‘Is that cool now, to choose to represent a totalitarian police state over America,’ he asked, kicking off his monologue.
‘The Olympics pretends to only be about sports but of course, the games have always been a bit of a proxy war for which country has the best system.
‘And by choosing Team China, Eileen Gu became a living symbol of China’s triumph over the west, which wouldn’t bother me so much if I thought China had triumphed over us in the ways that really matter. But they haven’t.’

More and more, either I’m changing or Bill Maher is becoming more “libertarian”.
I was stunned that anyone would go over to China for the “genocide olympics”.
Give Bill Maher credit for calling out a “turncoat”. Maybe that’s harsh. But, I don’t understand the decision, unless it came with a big cash stipend.
Sigh!
