Friday on his HBO program, host Bill Maher followed up on a tweet in which he called San Francisco 49ers back-up quarterback Colin Kaepernick an “idiot.” #colinkapernick is an idiot.I support his protest,but stick to what u know: kneeling and interceptions, and then look up “false equivalency” — Bill Maher (@billmaher) September 28, 2016 During the “Real Time” segment, Maher said Kaepernick was a “fucking idiot,” but not for his protests. Instead he said it was due to his series of “false equivalencies” he had made about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “Let’s go to the point of false equivalency,” Maher said. “Because I think it’s very relevant to what you’re talking about. And I have one more fucking idiot I want to get to. I tweeted he is a fucking idiot, and he is – Colin Kaepernick.” “He is, he is,” Maher continued. “He’s a fucking idiot. I’m for his protest. I’m for him taking the knee.” Maher went through a list of false equivalencies, all of which Maher had said Kaepernick was incorrect to suggest Clinton was as bad as Trump.

Trump Campaigns on Jobs, Against TPP in Michigan: ‘We’re Going to Rebuild Detroit’
Donald Trump campaigned against the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal during a rally in Michigan on Friday, vowing to rebuild Detroit. “I’m going to bring back the jobs that have been stripped away from you and from our country,” Trump told thousands of people packed into the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan. “We’re going to rebuild Detroit.” Trump attacked his rival, Hillary Clinton, for calling the TPP the gold standard and charged that she will pass it because her donors want the deal. The Republican nominee alleged that Clinton praised TPP on 45 separate occasions and alleged that one in three companies, which lobbied for the TPP, donated to the Clinton Foundation. “She doesn’t believe in protecting American jobs or American sovereignty,” Trump charged about Clinton, saying she “only believes in protecting her special interests and her donors.” “On Nov. 8, we are going to end Clinton corruption. We’ve had enough,” he declared. “We are going to put America first.” Thousands of people waited in the rain for hours to get into Trump’s rally.

WATCH: Refugee Gives Jaw-Dropping Interview Defending Trump’s Muslim Immigration Ban
The Arab woman who stole the show at MILO’s Q&A with her passionate defense of Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim immigration gave an interview to Breitbart News in which she condemned leftists and feminists for defending the Muslims who oppressed her. The woman, who identified herself as Sarah Torrent, said she fled a Muslim marriage in Kuwait before coming to the United States. She said she felt “personally attacked” by those who wanted to allow the people she fled from to emigrate to the country. “When the whole refugee [crisis] happened I saw feminists saying ‘Well you know, they’re not bad people, bring them in.’ My first reaction was ‘why do you hate me? Why are you doing this to me?’ I felt personally attacked as a woman, because they’re not putting into consideration what I’d go through. I take it personal.” “Western feminists, if they really want to support Muslims, meet me in the next 10-15 years for an ass-kicking, because I’m taking it very personal[ly], if they show me that they really don’t care about what I had to go through, by welcoming my attackers into the place that I now call home.” Watch the full interview below.
