Bill Maher took aim at far-right activist Laura Loomer after she publicly denied any allegations of Donald Trump having extramarital affairs. The verbal smackdown occurred during a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, where the outspoken host wasted no time in ridiculing Loomer's claims, leaving the audience in stitches.
The Denial
The drama unfolded after Laura Loomer, known for her staunch defense of Trump and controversial stunts, vehemently dismissed rumors of any infidelities involving the former president. Loomer took to social media to declare that the allegations were nothing more than a “smear campaign” orchestrated by the mainstream media to tarnish Trump’s reputation.
"All these lies about Trump are part of the media’s agenda. There’s no truth to these so-called affairs," Loomer tweeted, rallying her base and defending Trump against the accusations that have plagued his public image for years.
Maher’s Epic Takedown
As soon as the clip of Loomer's statement began circulating, Maher responded with his trademark wit and biting sarcasm. On his HBO show, he didn’t hold back in roasting Loomer's defense of Trump, humorously pointing out the absurdity of trying to refute well-known facts.
“Laura Loomer is denying Trump had an affair? That’s like denying water is wet or the sky is blue,” Maher quipped, sending the audience into laughter. “I mean, Trump himself has practically admitted to it—he’s just angry they didn’t catch him on camera!"
Maher continued with his relentless jabs, making light of Trump’s infamous scandals with adult film actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal. He referred to Trump’s colorful history of lawsuits and hush money payments, reminding the audience that Trump's marital controversies have been a public spectacle for years.
“In the world of Laura Loomer, Trump is a saint, and I’m sure she’s just waiting for him to walk on water. Well, Laura, newsflash: He can’t walk on water, but he sure knows how to ‘swim’ in scandals!” Maher added, delivering another gut-punch to Loomer’s denial.
Internet Reactions
As expected, social media erupted in response to Maher’s roast, with #MaherVsLoomer quickly trending. Many users praised Maher for calling out Loomer's blind loyalty to Trump, while others joined in on the mockery.
