Comedian Bill Maher had a laugh about virtue-signaling celebrities who wore pins at the Golden Globes referencing last week’s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman at the hands of an ICE agent, saying such displays aren’t really his thing.

“We’re just here for show business today,” the comedian, 69, chuckled to a USA Today reporter on the red carpet who asked about celebs using the occasion of the award show to politically grandstand.

“You know, it was a terrible thing that happened, and it shouldn’t have happened, and if they didn’t act like such thugs, it wouldn’t have happened. But I don’t need to wear a pin about it,” said the often-contrarian host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Comedian Bill Maher was not a fan of celebrities wearing a pin about Renee Good, a Minneapolis woman fatally shot by a federal agent, at the Golden Globe Awards.

“You know, it was a terrible thing that happened, and it shouldn’t have happened, and if they didn’t act like such thugs, it wouldn’t have had to happen,” Maher said about the situation. “But I don’t need to wear a pin about it.”Alpha News
