Maher’s latest remarks came just days after President Donald Trump sparked backlash over comments he made while delivering Graham’s eulogy at the Washington National Cathedral.
Reading from prepared remarks, Trump said: “Virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey,” before pausing to add, “Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. Not everybody.”
He later veered off script again while describing the late senator.
“He was a tough cookie,” Trump said. “I have to be — I have to veer from this for a second. He was a tough cookie, darling. But he was beautiful.”
The comments quickly spread across social media, where critics accused the president of making the memorial about himself.
One X user wrote: “Wowwww this guy is completely unhinged. Roasting the guy at his funeral proceeding?”
Another added: “He can even take a eulogy and make it about himself.”
