Bill Maher put Senator Elissa Slotkin on the spot Friday, challenging the Michigan Democrat to defend her party\u2019s opposition to President Donald Trump\u2019s military actions against the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Slotkin on the latest episode of his show \u201cReal Time,\u201d Maher marveled that Slotkin and the majority of Democrats \u201cmiraculously\u201d reached the exact conclusion on Operation Epic Fury. The one exception to that, Maher pointed out, was Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman.<\/p>\n
WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n Bill Maher: \u201cThere\u2019s one guy [Sen.] John Fetterman (D-PA)\u2026 who has dissented from the Democratic Party line. Is that really the case? Really, there\u2019s only one person in the whole party who thinks differently? You all miraculously came to the same conclusion on Iran?<\/p>\n Sen.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/1VkGBVHDfE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) March 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cThere\u2019s one guy, John Fetterman, who I can think of who has dissented from the Democratic Party line,\u201d Maher explained. \u201cIs that really the case? Really, there\u2019s only one person in the whole party who thinks differently? You all miraculously came to the exact same conclusion about Iran?\u201d<\/p>\n Slotkin attempted to push back, citing her own experience with the CIA and saying that she agreed that the Iranian regime was comprised of bad actors.<\/p>\n Adding that there was \u201cno love lost\u201d between her and the Iranian regime, she said, \u201cThe Iranian regime killed friends of mine with rockets and mortars and IEDs. But that\u2019s different from just running headlong into a war without being able to articulate your goals and how you\u2019re going to get out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSee, that\u2019s the Democrat talking point I hear all the time and I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s true,\u201d Maher objected. \u201cI think they were planning to say that whether he did it or not, and then he did it, and they just kept saying it even though they did say many times, \u2018Okay, we found out that they were very close to the bomb.\u2019 I mean, that\u2019s what came out in the negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n Slotkin immediately pivoted, abandoning her claim that the Trump administration had not properly articulated its goals and objecting instead that the war was ongoing despite the fact that the goals had been met.<\/p>\n WOW: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) ADMITS the Trump administration has completely degraded Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles, and other important things in the Iranian government.<\/p>\n \u201cI can say very openly\u2026 we have for sure degraded their nuclear capabilities. For sure\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/oKtx8eKb56<\/a><\/p>\n\n
