In a live version of his HBO show, Bill Maher on Wednesday night slimed Donald Trump’s son as Nazis and black or gay Republicans as traitors. During the opening of the show, he sneered, “There was there was an outbreak of Norovirus, the one they get on cruise ships, at the convention. They said avoid shaking hands. So, if you see the Trump boys, just Sieg Heil and walk right on by.”
Later, he excoriated, “Do people realize if they are elected Donald Trump, really the people that are going to be running the country are Douche Bag Von Fuckface Trump and Thurston Shit Bag III?” (This is not new material. He tweeted the same line on Tuesday.)
In another attempt at humor, Maher snarled at any minority who dares to vote Republican: “New rule: Marginalized black Republicans and marginalized gay Republicans have to come together and form a new group called The Uncle Tom's Log Cabin Republicans.”
In the middle of the show, guest Michael Moore surprised the liberal audience by saying, “And I have to say, I mean — I'm sorry to have to kind of be the buzz kill here so early on but I think Trump is going to win.” Maher’s crowd booed the liberal filmmake for this.
Partial transcripts of the segment, which aired at 11:20pm ET on July 20, below:

11:20BILL MAHER: Then my favorite little story of the convention: there was there was an outbreak of Norovirus, the one they get on cruise ships, at the convention. They said avoid shaking hands. If you see the Trump boys, just Sieg Heil and walk right on by.

MAHER: First up, what did you think of Ted Cruz and then Donald Trump walking into the hall?
JOY REID: My father was from the Congo. I thought third world dictatorship. Because we had this gangster move by Ted Cruz who instead of doing what he was brought there to do, he decides to turn the whole thing around and say vote your conscience.

11:24MICHAEL MOORE: One of the things I'm concerned about this week, we have been sitting in our bubble having a good laugh at this total as you said shit show. But the truth is — is that this plays to a lot of people that he has to win to become the next president. And I have to say, I mean — I'm sorry to have to kind of be the buzz kill here so early on but I think Trump is going to win.
[Crowd boos.]
MAHER: Boo if you want. I'm glad you're saying it. Everybody should say it.
MOORE: I don’t want to say it.

MAHER: The enemy is complacency. Say it every day. He certainly could win.
MOORE: I live in Michigan. Let me tell you. It is going to be the Brexit strategy. The middle of England is Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes. The total electoral votes in those states, 64. All he these do is win those four states. I’m telling you, I was there during the Michigan primary. And he went there in front of the Ford and he said, “I'm telling you right now, they moved this factory to Mexico. I’m putting a tariff on the cars!” It was music to people's ears. More people in Michigan, in the Michigan primary voted Republican than Democrat in the primary this year. That should be disturbing to everyone.

MOORE: They love their dad.
MAHER: I don't blame the kids. That is their blood. That's why I didn't blame O.J.’s mother for supporting O.J.. You know, it is your family. You have got to give a pass on that. Do people realize if they are elected Donald Trump, really the people that are going to be running the country are Douche Bag Von Fuck Face Trump and Thurston Shit Bag III?

MAHER: New rule: Marginalized black Republicans and marginalized gay Republicans have to come together and form a new group called the Uncle Tom's Log Cabin Republicans.
