Bill Maher Says Black People Celebrated O.J. Acquittal as ‘Payback’
Bill Maher, master of shallow provocation, is back at it again.
On Friday night’s Real Time with Bill Maher, in light of O.J. Simpson’s recent cancer death, Maher and fellow luminary Piers Morgan discussed the moment in 1995 when the former football player was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. The conversation was about as enlightening as one might expect.
Morgan expressed his fascination with how many people “were prepared to accept that [Simpson] probably got away with it but thought it was one in the eye back in the justice system.” He called the acquittal a “travesty of justice.”
