Maher on GOP's Fast and Furious crusade: 'Republicans don't care about dead Mexicans'
2012-06-24
On Friday's "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO, panelists debated the relevance of the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal and the competence of Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder.

Maher assumed much of his audience was unaware of the details about the scandal, so he gave them a refresher before unloading his own opinion.

"[House oversight committee Chairman] Darrell Issa says this is a giant scandal," Maher said. "I've heard on Fox News this week it's worse than Watergate because 200 Mexicans have died. First of all, let me just say Republicans don't care about dead Mexicans, A. And B -- I think those 200 dead Mexicans would be dead even if we hadn't sold them guns. They would have gotten the guns somewhere else. So is it really a scandal?"

Later, Reason magazine's Nick Gillespie, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Maher debated that question, with Gillespie questioning Maddow's and Maher's reasoning behind their dismissal of the Fast and Furious congressional probe as a partisan event.
