Bill Maher tells actor he ‘woke up crazy’ for refusing to ‘condemn’ Islam over its treatment of women

Bill Maher called “Two and a Half Men” star Jon Cryer “woke crazy” after the actor refused to criticize Islam for its strict dress code for women on Maher’s podcast “Club Random” on Sunday.

The show got off to a rocky start after Maher brought up the presidential election and Cryer rejected Maher’s argument that the illegal immigration problem was hurting the Democratic Party.

Maher went on to address the decline in Western standards in areas like London, where nearly 4 million people self-identified as Muslim in the 2021 census.

He referred to a “60 Minutes” report in which a woman was “shouted at” for walking through a Muslim neighborhood in London in a skirt.

“The point was that there are places in Western civilizations that are not run by Western standards, and that doesn’t mean they’re just different,” he told Cryer.

“We should agree that women should be able to wear whatever they want,” Maher continued. “If you don’t agree with that, you’re not a liberal to begin with.”

Cryer pushed back against Maher’s argument, saying that while he agreed that women should be able to wear whatever they want, there are many places in the world where women don’t have the freedom to dress how they want.

“They were getting called all the time in a lot of places,” Cryer argued, to which Maher scoffed.

“A lot happened before, but what is happening in the world now?” Maher replied. “Do you really want your wife to live in Gaza or (somewhere else) where she would have to hide?”

Cryer was reluctant to criticize the strict rules for women in these places, saying, “That’s not my culture.”

“You won’t judge?” asked Maher.

“I won’t judge,” Cryer replied. “NO.”

“That’s crazy, that woke me up,” Maher remarked.

The talk show host, who frequently rails against the far left, said liberals who embrace intolerance in the name of diversity are “unhinged.”

Bill Maher

Bill Maher frequently criticizes the far-left wing of the Democratic Party on his shows “Club Random” and “Real Time.”

“That’s when it got out of hand when we became so tolerant that we tolerate intolerance,” Maher said. “You would never allow something like that in this country.”

The two later argued about “woke” politics within the Democratic Party and illegal immigration hurting Democrats in the election.

Maher argued that “stupid wokeness,” along with the Biden administration’s open borders policy, helped Trump get re-elected.

Cryer, who joked at the start of the show that he “woke up stupid,” claimed that the real reason President-elect Donald Trump won the election was because Americans hate inflation, black women and transgender people.

“I think Americans hate inflation. They hate inflation, they hate riots, they hate black women and they hate transsexuals. “They just spent hundreds of millions of dollars demonizing trans people and that’s disgusting,” Cryer noted, to Maher’s dismay.

“Oh Jon,” Maher sighed heavily. “We shouldn’t talk about politics.”
