"He's criticizing him for being a war hawk. I mean, she is Dick Cheney's daughter," Maher said before reading what Trump said. "Now, of course, he expresses himself horribly. He has to add 'she's a stupid person' because he's a moron… Just to be clear, this is exactly what hippies always said. This is exactly what peaceniks always said. This is ‘Fortunate Son’ the song. It's like, you know what? It's very easy to sit in your building and send young men to die."
"Just don't lie to me," he later continued, "I don't like Donald Trump. Don't lie to me and tell me he wants her in front of a firing squad. He was saying something that, by the way, if it came out of the mouth, some of it, not the stupid part, again, sounds like what hippies used to say about not sending people to [war]."
