NextImg:Bill Maher said Biden ‘s–t the bed’ at the debate: ‘His new Secret Service name is Amber Heard’

Comedian Bill Maher added his voice to the growing mountain of mockery leveled against President Biden after a disastrous debate performance this week.

Maher — who unlike most Democrats, appears to have taken the dismal night in stride — bemoaned the fact that Biden didn’t appear to show up to his own debate.

“I mean Trump told lie after lie after lie. He never would have gotten away with that if Joe Biden was there,” Maher said to laughter Friday during a monologue on his show “Real Time.” “You know Joe, he famously loves trains but apparently not of thought.”

“I don’t want to say he s–t the bed, but his new Secret Service name is Amber Heard,’ Maher said, a reference to claims made by actor Johnny Depp that Heard, his then-wife defecated on their bed during an argument in 2016.

Maher has previously said Biden’s age was a major issue in the 2024 race and, along with immigration, could result in him losing to former President Trump.

Immediately after Thursday’s debate, Biden faced a chorus of calls from donors and pundits to drop out of the race and cede the nomination to another candidate.

“The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant,” wrote the liberal New York Times in an editorial calling on him to quit the race. “As it stands, the president is engaged in a reckless gamble. There are Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling and energetic alternatives to a second Trump presidency.”

Biden, for his part has vowed to stay in the race, and received public backing from former Presidents Obama and Clinton, moves which suggest party leaders would still back him.

First Lady Jill Biden is also reportedly committed to her husband seeking a second term.
