Bill Maher Says Biden Should Run As ‘Abortin’ Joe’ After GOP Election Abortion Debacle

Comic and pundit Bill Maher joked that President Joe Biden should rebrand himself as “Abortin’ Joe” after the GOP got clobbered in off-year elections on the issue of abortion this week.

On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the comic’s panel guests were author and podcast host Jordan Peterson and New York Times opinion columnist Pamela Paul, and his interview guest was Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

During his monologue, Maher devoted several jokes to the “good news/bad news” combo of those off-year elections and the blockbuster battleground poll that came out last weekend showed ex-President Donald Trump leading Biden in 5 of 6 battleground states:

But there was, it was a good news, bad news week for the Democrats, bad news in the six battleground states. Trump is beating Biden in five out of six of them. And Biden’s support among nonwhite voters dropped 33 points. And Democrats cannot win with just white people. Okay. Although it hasn’t hurt Taylor Swift. But.

The good news for the Democrats, they do have kind of a kryptonite issue, abortion. America loves abortion. And even in the red states, seven out of this time, seven times it’s on the ballot. People are saying, no, read my lips, no new babies.

Abortion wins in counties Biden lost by 20 points. If he was smart, he would run as Abortin’ Joe. I know things are tough, but Abortin’ Joe feels your pain! Give a hug to Abortin’ Joe.

But this is the cognitive dissonance in America. Okay, so on the one side, the people are like, No, this is where we are socially. We are we are basically pro-choice. And then the new speaker of the House for the Republicans, Mike Johnson, turns out this came out this week. He has an app. You can buy it on your phone called Covenant Eyes.

It’s basically AA for masturbaters. It is for people who don’t want to masturbate. God knows why. You get on this app and then you have an accountability partner who monitors you. If you look at porn, gets a notice. This isn’t even the creepiest part of this story.

You know who Mike Johnson’s accountability partner is? His 17 year old son. Yeah. My dad just took me fishing. You know. There’s lots of ways to bond. And I mean.

So so this 17 year old kid is sitting in class and, oh, dad’s watching anal again. This is his way. And also, I think this is a much better deal for the father than the 17 year old. When I was 17 year old, it never stopped.
