It happened circuitously... White House mouthpiece Ari Fleischer (like Sarah Sanders but bald... still had the smoky eyes, though) condemned Maher’s show after a guest (not Maher) said the actions of the 9/11 terrorists were many despicable things, but they weren’t cowardly. Pressure directly from the White House led to sponsors pulling out, and ultimately Maher was fired. https://variety.com/2001/tv/features/white-house-keeps-heat-on-abc-s-maher-1117853351/amp/ . > > On Thu, May 31, 2018 at 8:10 PM Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Thu, May 31, 2018 at 8:07 PM PGage <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> In the end, they are just so stupid.
