“Real Time” host Bill Maher was furious over President Biden's “garbage” comment about Trump supporters, suggesting it could have a big impact on Election Day.

“I think it's a bigger faux pas than people think,” Maher began his panel discussion Friday evening. “It's so funny, Joe Biden, his whole career he was like Mr. Gaffe, and then at the very end – he's like Aaron Judge in Game Six. He just fumbled the fly ball and ended up blowing the whole thing [game].”

“Because I feel like it embodies everything the Trump people hate about the Democrats. They look down on us. It's like 'deplorable' times ten,” Maher said.
