Bill Maher on Atlanta-area massage parlor shootings: 'What if' it isn't a hate crime?
Fox News
"Real Time" host Bill Maher challenged those who jumped to the conclusion that the deadly shootings in Atlanta this week were an anti-Asian hate crime.
Kicking off his show's panel discussion Friday night, Maher began by praising President Biden's remarks addressing the rising hate crime rate toward Asian-Americans, but pointed out that the shooting "says a lot about our tribalism and our inability to see evidence as opposed to what would fit the narrative we already believe." He then cited FBI Director Christopher Wray, who said "it does not appear" that the shootings were racially motivated and juxtaposed Wray's remarks to those of Rep. Marilyn Strickland, D-Wash., who dismissed the notion that the shooting was spawned from "economic anxiety or sexual addiction."More Related News
