Democrats’ Refusal to Certify Elections Should Not Be Justified with Weak Arguments

In the “Overtime” segment of HBO’s “Real Time,” Bill Maher dismissed Kellyanne Conway’s comparison of Democrats in Congress who have voted against certifying Republican presidential election wins as weak. Maher emphasized the importance of conceding defeat in elections, criticizing the refusal of one particular individual to do so. He called for accountability and sportsmanship, contrasting it with the behavior of the individual in question. Conway tried to deflect by bringing up Democratic lawmakers who have also not certified Republican wins, but Maher swiftly shut down her argument.
