HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher blasted President Biden for using Tyre Nichols’ family as political props during his upcoming State of the Union address on Feb. 7, accusing him of engaging in “tragedy porn” while bluntly calling it “gross.” (Video) “I feel like this is tragedy porn,” Maher remarked concerning the news. “I really feel like this is gross. You know, it’s too soon to impose on that family now in their hour of grief to help you politically. I mean, it’s stunt casting, which they always do at the State of the Union address. And I just, I just feel it’s… we should be better than that.”

Bizzaro World is reality. I agree completely with Bill Maher. I am sad that the family of Tyre, with the trauma they have just suffered, is allowing Biden to exploit their grief.
The tragic circumstances that led to the death of their son came to life with Biden and the "Summer of Love." "Defund the police" led to many good officers leaving the force which led to subpar hires to replace them, which appeared to play a part in the strange and vicious "traffic stop."
At first they appeared to be different, calming and level headed in the midst of their grief. By allowing themselves to be used by Biden, whom I am sure will introduce them while connecting their tragedy somehow to the "Greatest threat to "Our Democracy," White Supremacy, no good will come out of it because Democrats aren't interested in improving anything. They use people then throw them away.

For once I 100% agree with Maher. The Dems have done this time after time, so I am not surprised. It's too bad the family is letting themselves be used like this, maybe they just don't realize this is what is happening, but the Dems will use anyone no matter what the tragic circumstances.

Leave it to Dem elites like Joe Biden, Ben Crump, AL Shaprton, et al are all in on taking advantage of the Nichols' family (just another po black family) who should just say no and mourn for their son in dignified anonymity. Oh well - they see $$$ now in their son's death.

George Floyd's family had no such problem. They had murals painted and sculptures done and asked for a second check when the first payment was deemed to be insufficient.

Brandon is such a moron and a complete media whore. What an embarrassment to the country.

It will be kind of amusing to watch and see how bringing in the Tyre family will help with Joe Biden's war on whites.

Bill Maher is that most rare of individuals -- a man of the left who has common sense.

I thought this was going to be about Beau Biden, again.
Condolences to Tyre's family. Glad he did not have to die in Iraq, like Beau, or in Afghanistan like those 13 Marines whose families never got an invitation to sit with Dr Jill during the SOTU address.

Truth be told, Tyre Nichols was killed by a gang of Black thugs who happened to be cops. If the rumors of Nichols sleeping with one of the cops wife is true, this is about revenge and Black on Black crime and not police brutality. If the cops weren't wearing uniforms this would be just another unsolved murder in Memphis and race hustlers Crump and Sharpton would be nowhere to be seen and Biden would have no interest in this family.

Exactly WHAT is the purpose for their being there at all ? Crying "racism" will just be funny but perhaps Joey is no longer able to distinguish colors

I thought this family did not want publicity? The check must have been very large, along with free tickets to everything in Washington and the best hotel. Joe is sick in more ways than the obvious and camera hog Jill is just as bad.

Biden’s ascent to power and the ‘Administration’ he (or rather his handlers) are running is itself the epitome of obscenity. Deserves XXXX.

Thank you, Mr. Maher for watching what I couldn't watch. I wouldn't have watched the SOTU if you'd held a gun on me. Matter of fact I never watch nor listen to FJB because the sight of him and the sound of his lying voice nauseate me. Like another poster said on another day, I need to apologize to Jimma Catah, for my evil thoughts about him. Compared to this abomination, he was nearly saintly.

Perhaps biden could call on a Chinese to accept our apology for shooting down their balloon ...he seems to favor china at every turn...perhaps he should retire to china when he's done in 2024...just like nervous nancy is retiring to Italy now that she's got no power...and Obama should retire to Iran...and Kerry should retire to Africa where small children are mining for cobalt for the batteries for electric cars...the greenies don't car who they abuse...it's all about the money in their pockets...

Of course you're correct #14. The unfortunate truth however is that they WERE in uniform, and you better believe Brandon and the cabal of ultra-liberal swamp rats behind him who are actually running this country will exploit it to its' fullest extent.
There's no way I believe this was a traffic stop. Notice the video begins with body cam. If it was a traffic stop, where is the dashcam footage showing the alleged "reckless driving" that was the reason given for the initial stop? The bodycam footage that was released begins with the cop opening Nichol's car door and jerking him out of the car. That's not how a "traffic stop" begins. There's no question we are not getting the full story.

Everyone, including dems. think and know this is a horrible misuse of these poor people. They don't obviously, nor should we assume, they have the intelligence and integrity to not show up. Ugh.

I like Bill Maher more and more over the past few years. He is still a liberal, but he is a rational one.
