Bill Maher contributes $1 million to Democratic Senate super PAC

Bill Maher has contributed $1 million to a super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) that focuses on electing Democrats to the Senate, Variety reported on Thursday.

“We sincerely thank Bill Maher for his generous donation,” said the PAC’s president, J.B. Poersch, in a statement, according to Variety.

“Maher’s attention to our efforts this cycle underscores the building momentum and excitement for Democratic Senate candidates that we continue to see across the country. Every donation we receive is critical to help us ensure victory come Election Day.”

“Where are the billionaire liberals?” Maher asked on his show on June 23.

“Because Sheldon Adelson and that crowd — they give in the tens and hundreds of billions,” he added. “Here’s our side: Bill Gates is worth $91 billion. Jeff Bezos, worth $141 billion. [Mark] Zuckerberg, who should feel guilty for helping Russia slide Trump into the White House, He’s worth $73 billion.”

Maher noted that between all of the aforementioned billionaires, their contributions for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 were under $1 million.

“Cheap f—s!” Maher shouted. “I went through this in 2012 when I made that $1 million donation to Obama to let people know that you have to get in — the game is being played on the million-dollar level. It won’t do when you’re worth $141 billion to write a check for only $250,000, you cheap f—.”

Maher’s reported $1 million contribution to Senate Majority PAC is of the same amount he made in 2012 to a super PAC, Priorities USA, backing President Obama’s reelection campaign against Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

Last month, Maher also offered Romney $1 million to oust President Trump.

“I would gladly give Romney $1 million tomorrow if he would take over America. Swear to god!” Maher joked.

“I will become a Mormon, how about that?” the avowed atheist said.

Democrats appear positioned to take back the House in November, with recent polling showing the party leading on the generic ballot anywhere between 4 and 11 points.

In the Senate, however, where Maher’s reported focus is, Republicans appear to be in a strong position to maintain control.

Ten Democratic senators are running for reelection this fall in states Trump won in 2016, five of which the president won by double digits.
