Sounding more like a traditional liberal, Bill Maher is lamenting that the January 6 commission will become the “Hunter Biden commission” if the GOP takes control of Congress in the November elections.

A free-speech champion and presumed civil libertarian, Maher, the host of HBO’s “Real Time,” has won plaudits for forcefully disagreeing with the woke narrative in various ways, but in this instance, he reverted to sounding like a hyperbolic, partisan Democrat calling for jail time for insurrectionists.

With a panel consisting of former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) and MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, Maher began a segment on his show on Friday evening by disagreeing with House Democrat Jamie Raskin that the upcoming J6 committee hearings will constitute a Watergate-level game-changer.

“I think they won’t,” Maher insisted. “I think everyone in this country is already on Team Red or Team Blue. And this is what the Democrats think is going to be the game-changer? You want to get people ginned up: mention Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That hits them right in the gut,” he continued, sarcastically.

“Inflation and immigration, yes, that’s what the election is gonna be about,” Maher, who has slammed Twitter for censoring the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, observed.
