Comedian Bill Maher pointed to Vice President JD Vances recent remarks from a trip to Hungary during Friday's episode of "Real Time," suggesting the idea of Western civilization is real and worth defending."Another thing JD Vance said is, We will stand with you for Western civilization," Maher began, referencing comments the vice president made in support of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn while framing his government as a defender of Western civilization.Maher, speaking with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America founder Paul Rieckhoff and author Douglas Murray, said Orbn "goes too far" in some respects but added, "I think you and I both believe there is such a thing as Western civilization.""Remember after 9/11, if you said clash of civilizations, it was the beginning of that wokeness where Oh, dont say that, thats Islamophobia," Maher said.RUBIO BLASTS WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS FANTASY, WARNS MASS MIGRATION THREATENS WESTERN CIVILIZATION"No, it was a clash of civilizations the civilizations are very different and ours is better."The audience erupted into applause, after which Maher broadened his point."And if youre not clapping, spend a week in a Muslim capital, you wouldnt last especially as a woman," he said.SEN MCCORMICK: SECRETARY RUBIO SETS THE COURSE FOR NATOS FUTURE.
