Bill Maher confronts Dr. Phil on joining Trump admins unpopular ICE raids

“Real Time” host Bill Maher abruptly put his guest Dr.Phil in the hot seat on Friday for joining the Trump administration’s ICE raids, which led to a tense exchange between the two personalities.“Why are you going on these ICE raids?” Maher asked Dr.

Phil.  “I don’t understand that.” Maher continued: “You’re a guy who we know for so many years who has been working to put families together.To bring families who are apart and heal them.

And now you’re going on raids with people who are literally separating families.”The former clinical psychologist pulled no figurative punches.“Well, now that’s bullsh—t,” Dr.Phil countered, before launching into a comparison. “Look, if you arrest somebody that’s a citizen, that has committed a crime or is DUI’d with a child in the backseat, do you think they don’t separate that family right then, right there?” Dr.

Phil asked.“Of course they do!” “But that’s not what’s going on,” Maher argued.Moments earlier, Maher had introduced the topic as “another thing” President Donald Trump is doing as he is “doubling down on unpopular.” Dr.

Phil took an even further step back, addressing part of Maher’s monologue where he had criticized masked ICE agents.He said the masks are a result of legislators “doxxing” officers. “[Legislators are] putting their names, their pictures, their addresses of their families on the internet, they’re putting them on telephone poles,” Dr.

Phil noted.“So, of course, they’re wearing masks so they don’t get outed, so people can do violence against their families.”The former talk show host cited “files” he had seen to justify the ICE operations he has joined.“They’ve got a rap sheet, 12, 14 different cases long of child predators that they’re taking off the street,” Dr.

Phil said.“These are the worst first that they’re taking off the streets.

Who would want them back in their communities?” ESPN commentator...
