NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On the May 22 episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show', host Megyn Kelly and Bill Maher engaged in a heated debate about the upcoming 2024 election, particularly regarding Kelly's decision to vote for Donald Trump for a second time.
It was previously reported by the Daily Mail, that Kelly disclosed that she voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election after a period of intense deliberation, recounting that she 'wrestled with it' before the 2020 election.
Bill Maher and Megyn Kelly debate ideological differences and 2024 election choices
Beginning the show, Kelly expressed a desire to discuss Maher's feelings on Trump.
Maher acknowledged the topic as Kelly said, "I feel like you're kind of a and I'm a six on the ideological scale we have a lot of overlap but you're definitely still going to vote Democrat and I'm definitely going to vote Republican but there's enough commonality to make us Shake our heads."

Maher then clarified "so you're going to vote for Trump?" as the host nodded in agreement.
"I can't even understand that. And I understand that Biden is deeply flawed, but he does believe in our way of life. And I was the one who was saying from the very beginning when everyone was laughing at me that Donald Trump will never give up power. And he didn't, " Maher said.
He added. "He still hasn't conceded the last election. I don't know what could possibly be more fundamental to you or anyone, then you have to concede elections, and he hasn't conceded the last one. He's plainly not going to concede this one. He now has all of his sycophants around him parroting his party line, which is when they will ask them will you abide by the election results?"
"Yes, if it's a free and fair election, which is another way of saying if we win. Do you really think this is a place this country should be?" Maher, who has been vocal about how neither candidate should be in office, said to the host.
Bill Maher and Megyn Kelly clash over Hunter Biden laptop controversy
Moving on with the conversation, Maher, 68, then questioned Kelly, 53, about what she deemed "more important."
"How about about my daughter not going into a locker room and seeing a man's p-----? How about young men on college campuses getting due process when they get accused falsely of rape?" she fumed, to which Maher replied, "I think that's a false equivalency…"
"Bulls---! What do you mean?" Kelly asked.
"I think these things are important. But you can handle these things through the normal due process of our system. But if we lose the system itself, come on…" Maher pointed out.
In response, Kelly explained that there's "a difference between" something being stolen and it not being fair.
"What wasn't fair?" Maher asked, to which she said, "Oh my god. Don’t get me started! How about the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story?"
Kelly referred to the Hunter Biden's controversy when he allegedly left his water-damaged laptop at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2019.
Reportedly, in October 2020, The New York Post reported that it had acquired a copy of the laptop's data from Rudy Giuliani, who was Donald Trump's personal lawyer at the time.
Bluting out, Maher said, "Oh for f---’s sake! Really? Then we’re not as alike as you think… That’s a stupid non-story."
"Says who? There are polls that show some 10-12 percent of the electorate says they would have changed their mind had they seen it, had they known about it," she said, insisting that people "did care" about the "scandal of his corruption and his dad's corruption."
She added, "I used to think that Hunter Biden was a hot mess and Joe Biden was embarrassed by him but had to deal. Now I really think he was doing Joe Biden's bidding. Joe Biden is the bad guy who sent his drug addled son out there to collect money. That’s what the laptop shows."
Bill Maher's comments draws criticism from Internet
The internet swiftly reacted, criticizing Maher for his backward views on Trump, with some also condemning the entire interview.
One viewer said, "Maher forgets about the Democrats who claimed the 2016 was fixed."
Another viewer said, "Bill is a clown."
One viewer noted, "Bill Maher still has severe TDS (Trump derangement syndrome)."
A follower observed, "If Trump was such a threat to our democracy, then why didn’t he stay on January 20, 2021."
One comment read, "The more Bill talks the more you realize he honestly doesn’t study the issues. It’s all emotion and be damned the facts."
Another comment read, "Bill is at his absolute worst when talking about Trump. That's his achilles."
"I was thinking Maher was coming around but then he opens his mouth and messes up all over again," explained one person.
"Absolutely vomit inducing interview, " read another comment.
