"When I see you, especially the last couple of years, you speak so freely," Maher told Fetterman. "You speak like what politicians who I get on this show- who aren't in politics anymore, the ones who are out of office when they can be honest and that's the way you speak now and it's a beautiful thing."
"You speak for a lot of Democrats that are afraid to say a lot of that stuff. I mean, it's a lot of release for a lot of Democrats to be able to be like "Thank God, someone's actually platforming that."
