Real Time host Bill Maher took a whack at the Republicans who are out there defending Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore after accusations of sexual misconduct back when he was in his thirties emerged this week.

MAHER: Welcome to another edition of “Who Pulled Their Dick Out This Week?”

It's so ironic. Trump is in China, because here in America, this is clearly the year of the dog.

Let's start just in the political realm. Judge Roy Moore, you following this? He's the Republican, probably going to be the senator from Alabama, okay. Turns out when he was in his thirties and a district attorney he got with a fourteen year old, this is the accusation. There's a lot of people backing it up. And had inappropriate relations with three other teenage girls... I mean, inappropriate for our state, or other states.

Anyway, so top Republicans are now speaking out... against the women!

No really. Sean Hannity had to apologize for saying it was consensual and then had to explain to the other guys at Fox News what consensual means.

Alabama State Rep. Ed Henry said that he wants to prosecute the women. He said you can't be a victim forty years later. Roy Moore himself said this is all just fake news liberal media bullshit. Of course he said that wearing a rain coat standing in front of Forever 21.

After taking one of Alabama's other winners, State Auditor Jim Zeigler to task for his comparison of Moore to Mary and Jesus, Maher laid waste to the constant false equivalencies about liberals and their supposed tolerance of sexual deviants.

MAHER: I have to say. I've got to defend my tribe here a little bit, liberals vs. conservatives, because sexual harassment is absolutely the one thing we see now is totally, truly, bipartisan, maybe the last thing that is.

But no liberal defended Harvey Weinstein, or Kevin Spacey, who might be going to jail. Anthony Weiner is in jail. Louis C.K. we hear this week did horrific things.

Compare that to Trump, and Roy Moore. We arrest our alleged rapists. They elect them.
