Bill Maher rips sanctuary city 'hypocrites' turning away migrants: Abbott, DeSantis 'called their bluff'

Liberal comedian Bill Maher called Democratic leaders of sanctuary cities "hypocrites" for their reaction to the border crisis, during his "Club Random"podcast on Sunday.

Maher raised the immigration issue after guest and former TV anchor Katie Couric argued that class resentment and anti-elitism had led blue-collar workers to support former President Trump. Maher agreed but suggested that resentment was legitimate when it came to how Democratic leaders responded to the immigration crisis overwhelming border towns.

"Take something like the Sanctuary City hypocrisy," he told Couric. "These elite cities [think] ‘We’re the good people'…until they send the immigrants, actually, to their cities."
