Bill Maher scolds left's refusal to admit racial, social progress in America: 'We've come a long way, baby'

"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by knocking liberals who refuse to acknowledge the progress that's been made in America.

"If you think America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote and more homophobic than when b---j--s were a felony, you have ‘progressophobia’ and should adjust your mask because it's covering your eyes," Maher told his viewers.  "This is one of the big problems with wokeness, that what you say doesn't have to make sense or jive with the facts – or even be challenged lest the challenge be conflated with racism.'  "Here's the thing, kids: There actually was a world before you got here." "The chant from gay protesters used to be ‘We’re here, we're queer, get used to it.' Well, we did. This is Pride month and it's not even a big deal anymore. Thirty days of parades and festivals celebrating a cause that was once so divisive, Ellen had to pretend to be straight."
