Humiliating Cognitive Dissonance: Bill Maher Practically BEGS Gavin Newsom To Run For President

Posted • March 29, 2025: There are times when we can appreciate late-night comedian Bill Maher's willingness to call out the left when they deserve it. Usually, these moments are related to the left's nutbar woke ideology, such as when Maher trounced Neil deGrasse Tyson in November for the astrophysicist's support of men playing in women's sports.

Accordingly, he is prone to the very cognitive dissonence that he often decries from his fellow leftists. Last night's episode of Maher's HBO program, Real Time, is a perfect example of this. California Governor Gavin Newsom was the interview guest on the show and, in a moment of utter humiliation and self-abasement, Maher practically got on his knees and BEGGED the governor to run for President in 2028.

OK, so Maher wants Newsom to run. Where is the cognitive dissonance, you may ask?
