EXCERPT:

MAHER: "There is a new congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, she is Muslim, one of the first two who, I think, we have in Congress. And she apologized, she's under a lot of fire because she was talking about the Jewish lobby, AIPAC, and she said 'it's all about the Benjamins.' Now, I probably don't agree with her a lot about what she feels about Israel and Palestine, but I don't know why this has to be seen as anti-Semitic. Now, she may be anti-Semitic, but if I criticize Saudi Arabia, that doesn't mean I'm Islamophobe and — yes?"
