Maher: 'Sad' that the super-rich GOP takeover of NC 'wasn't even all that expensive'


HBO comedian Bill Maher is lamenting the fact that super-rich Republican activists were able to use the Supreme Court's Citizen United ruling to "take over" the state of North Carolina and "it wasn't even all that expensive."

On his HBO show last week, Maher pointed out that North Carolina "is going apesh*t in a way no state ever has" after Republicans took over the entire government and began passing laws to restrict voting rights, restrict women's reproductive rights and even ban Sharia law.

"Take every crazy angry idea your drunk right-wing uncle mumbles at Thanksgiving, turn it into a law, and that's North Carolina today," Maher said.
