Bill Maher’s gay guest tells him a drug addict’s dog bit a hole in his leg while he was walking in Portland.

He wrote an essay, thinking the story would spark outrage.

But he got a rude awakening when liberals blamed him and defended the addict.

He couldn’t figure it out until Bill Maher bluntly told him why:

DAVID SEDARIS: “Nobody said how awful that you got bitten by a dog. They said, ‘What kind of a dog was it?’”

[Maher laughs]

SEDARIS: “One person said, ‘Did you get the names?’ And I said, ‘Oh, they’re fentanyl addicts… weren’t going to give me their names.’ ‘No, of the dogs, it would help to rescue them.’”

“But if I had said, if I had said I was walking down the street and these tech bros… they’d be incensed.”

“But because they were drug addicts, then everybody took their side. They felt like they couldn’t say that it was, they treated me like it was my fault. Or you just, ‘well, that’s the way it goes. You’re better off than they are.’”

MAHER: “You get to, I think, what is just the heart of so much of our f*cked up politics.”

“You say, ‘why is it so hard for people like me to say that it’s wrong for a drug addict’s dog to bite you?’”

“And your answer is because then, oh, then you’re a Republican. Which is crazy because then it puts the Democrats in the position of the pro-drug addict dog biters.”
