LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bill Maher's interview with independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr on Friday, April 26, delved into contentious topics such as vaccine safety and efficacy.

However, it wasn't just the interview content that sparked attention; it was also the reaction of former President Donald Trump, who took to social media to offer his critique of this interview.

Trump watched 'Real Time With Bill Maher' and posted his views on Truth Social.



 

Trump's candid critique and concerns

According to the Wrap, Trump, known for his outspoken nature, didn't hold back in his assessment of the interview, slamming Maher's interviewing skills as "really boring" and labeling Kennedy as "far more LIBERAL" than any Democratic candidate.

Trump's Truth Social read, “I actually watched, first time in a long time, ratings challenged Bill Maher’s really boring interview with RFK Jr. last night, only to find that Junior’ is far more LIBERAL than Maher and, in fact, far more LIBERAL than anyone running as a Democrat, including [Cornel] West and [Jill] Stein.”

He even went as far as to accuse Democrats of employing "Fascist tactics of repression" to oust Kennedy from the party.

“Yet despite this, he has no hope as a Democrat because they were able to use their typically Fascist tactics of repression and throw him out of the Party, like a dog, because he was taking primary votes away from the worst President in the history of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump continued.

Kennedy's stance on vaccines was a focal point of the Bill Maher interview. Maher questioned Kennedy about his running mate's call for the recall of the Moderna vaccine, to which Kennedy suggested the need for more rigorous trials.

Trump, in his critique, highlighted Kennedy Jr's anti-vaccine rhetoric, contrasting it with Maher's defense of vaccine efficacy.

“So now, Junior’s a so-called Independent, but he’s not, he’s a Radical Left Lunatic, but trying to have it all ways. He said that ‘No Vaccine is safe and effective,’ and then said ‘I would never say that, I’m not anti-vaccine!’ Where did that come from?” Trump wrote.

“Maher defended the vaccine, which Junior actually seemed to agree with (WOW!), and then told him that his poll numbers have crashed. No Republican can vote for this guy. MAGA2024!” Trump posted.



 

However, Trump's concern seemed to extend beyond the interview itself. He expressed worries about Kennedy potentially siphoning votes away from him, particularly in crucial swing states.

Trump's apprehension and allegations

Trump's apprehension led him to launch a scathing attack on Kennedy, dismissing his candidacy as a "wasted protest vote" and claiming a preference for President Joe Biden over Kennedy.

Kennedy's campaign, on the other hand, countered allegations that the Trump campaign had approached them about a possible vice presidential position for Kennedy, an assertion that the Trump camp has vehemently denied.

The clash between Trump and Kennedy underscores the growing polarization surrounding not only the issue of vaccine safety but also the broader political landscape as the 2024 presidential election looms closer.
