That\u2019s not the bad faith part of the story. That\u2019s the true part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut a few days later, McCarthy was speaking to a group of Republicans and said jokingly, but he is Kevin McCarthy, he said that if Republicans took the House in 2022, \u2018I want you to watch Nancy Pelosi hand me that gavel, it will be hard not to hit her with it,&#8217;\u201d Maher said. \u201cPelosi\u2019s office called it a threat of violence. Hakeem Jeffries said violence against women is no laughing matter. And Eric Swalwell said McCarthy was a would-be assailant who must resign. Shut up. Shut the f**k up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what bad faith is,\u201d Maher added. \u201cYou don\u2019t really think it was a threat of violence or that anyone thinks such violence would be a laughing matter, or that Kevin McCarthy is a would-be assailant any more than anyone thinks Matt Damon\u2019s a homophobe.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id>\n<p><em>BILL MAHER, HBO HOST: And finally new rule, someone has to tell me, why is this guy always in the doghouse with the online hall monitors of righteousness? It is a phenomenon that truly fascinates me that every couple years Matt Damon, one of the most likable guys in Hollywood with impeccable liberal credentials, is again flailing around in cancel culture quicksand. It happened again this month when Damon revealed that he used to use a gay slur, I won\u2019t say the word, but it\u2019s the one your teenage son greets his friends with when they meet up at Chipotle. It\u2019s not always meant as a slur, but it\u2019s wrong. Yes, of course. And Damon owned up saying that while coming of age in Boston in the 70s and 80s, that word was thrown around without any thought put into it. And now, now he\u2019s put some thought into it. And he\u2019s going to stop using it. One might say he became woke. Okay, he was late to the party to which we could say welcome, glad you could make it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Or we could say, you came later than I did, die! There are too many people in this country who are motivated not by what they really believe, but by what will get Twitter to react to them with likes and retweets. That\u2019s called bad faith. It\u2019s why every couple years I\u2019m reading headlines like USA Today, \u2018I wish I could cancel Matt Damon.\u2019 Washington Post, \u2018Matt Damon has more Damonsplaining to do.\u2019 Daily Beast, \u2018Shut up, Matt Damon.\u2019 Vox, \u2018Matt Damon isn\u2019t a terrible person, he\u2019s just ignorant.\u2019 Really? That bad is he? We\u2019re talking about Matt Damon. I don\u2019t know he\u2019s got a clean water charity and delivers food to Haiti. What have you done Vox headline writer?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And yet, he is always getting pulled over by the woke police for something. He\u2019s got a woke rap sheet as long as your arm. On the reboot of the Project Greenlight series, he was booked on obstruction of social justice for maintaining that a director should be chosen on merit first. But merit first is not synonymous with racism. Thinking that it is, that\u2019s kind of racist.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In 2015, Damon did hard time in Twitter jail on two counts of accessory to homophobia, for saying that actors do well when they keep their private lives private so that audiences can watch the character on the screen without thinking about the caricature from the tabloids and that includes your sexuality, which is true. One of the reasons I love Daniel Day Louis is I\u2019m not sure he even exists off screen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But in wokeville, somehow that became gay actors should go back in the closet, which is not what he said. But the verdict was in and he was sentenced to appear on Ellen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Here\u2019s how unhomophobic Matt Damon is, he f***ed Liberace. 2016, the movie The Great Wall opened and Damon was brought up on charges of white washing in the third degree. White washing, being when filmmakers cast white actors for parchment for people of color, which is exactly what he was not doing. His role was never meant for a Chinese actor. In fact, it was a Chinese made movie targeted primarily to the Chinese audience that was purposefully using his white ass so the movie would have crossover appeal here. Nevertheless, when I heard about this, I immediately replaced Matt\u2019s poster over my bed with Chris Evans. 2017, in the early days of the Me Too movement, Damon was locked up in wokecatraz on a charge of aggravated mansplaining during a reckoning and was sentenced to not less than one year of having to shut the f*** up. See what happened was during an interview where Damon called the Me Too movement wonderful and a watershed moment, he added that sexual misconduct involved a spectrum of behavior and that there was a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape. True, undeniable, and unforgiveable even though the legal system has always differentiated degrees for crimes, even murder, oh Matt, always getting in trouble for saying perfectly reasonable things.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And now now he\u2019s done it again by breaking Liam\u2019s law. Yes, that\u2019s the law that refers to the time a few years back when actor Liam Neeson recounted a story of personal growth involving racist thoughts he had as a young man, but then realizing the error of his ways, expunging the race element from his anger. But of course, in so doing, he committed the cardinal sin of admitting he was not born perfect and did not emerge from the womb completely enlightened like Buddha. And now Matt\u2019s done, done it with his gay slur admission, committed the crime of not always being the person you would become. You know, I\u2019m so tired of bad faith arguments, and it\u2019s all we do now on both sides of our divide. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Two weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi called Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy a moron. That\u2019s not the bad faith part of the story. That\u2019s the true part. But a few days later, McCarthy was speaking to a group of Republicans and said jokingly, but he is Kevin McCarthy, he said that if Republicans took the House in 2022, \u2018I want you to watch Nancy Pelosi hand me that gavel, it will be hard not to hit her with it.\u2019 Pelosi\u2019s office called it a threat of violence. Hakeem Jeffries said violence against women is no laughing matter. And Eric Swalwell said McCarthy was a would be assailant who must resign. Shut up. Shut the f**k up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This is what bad faith is. You don\u2019t really think it was a threat of violence or that anyone thinks such violence would be a laughing matter, or that Kevin McCarthy is a would be assailant any more than anyone thinks Matt Damon\u2019s a homophobe. And Matt, my advice to you stop hunting for goodwill. You\u2019re not going to find much in this country.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
