‘F**king rude!’ Bill Maher unloads on ‘*sshole’ fan who interrupts monologue

Bill Maher dealt with a rude fan taking pictures during his monologue as he mocked President Donald Trump’s administration over “Signalgate.”

The unscripted moment happened on Friday night’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher” when the host noticed that someone in the audience was taking a picture of him with their phone. He was in the middle of his monologue on the Signal group chat story when he broke to call the guy an “a**hole.”

“As I always say, I know why you’re happy today. No, I really don’t,” Maher started, to laughter from the audience. “Well, I guess, you know, if you don’t like what’s going on in Washington, it was the first real, true, big scandal of the Trump administration. The entire national security team was,you know, they’re on a group chat. So the Houthis in Yemen have been attacking the shipping lanes. So maybe they do need a good bombing.”

“But OK, so the entire national security team, I’m talking about the Secretary of Defense, the Vice President, the head of the CIA, Department of Homeland Security. All these people are on this, nine people on a group chat, on Signal, which is safer than a normal, you know, but I have it!” Maher continued. “And then they loop it–, so it’s supposed to be nine people, our defense team, they loop in a reporter-.”

“What are you, taking a f**king picture? No taking pictures during the monologue, a**hole! Could you take this guy’s phone away and throw him out? No, you don’t have to throw him out,” the host said before continuing to lay into the man. “F**king rude as s**t, that guy! Anyway, so he’s on Signal, this guy, by the way. I hate it when even your fans are a**holes, you know?”
