Bill Maher had another incredible segment Friday night on his show.

The legendary comedian and HBO star discussed the latest attempt to cancel Matt Damon because “The Bourne Identity” actor recently admitted to stopping using a gay slur, and later clarified that he never personally used it.

Yet, that wasn’t enough to satisfy the woke mob coming for his head. Once again, Maher had possibly the most refreshing and honest take on the internet.

“He’s got a clean water charity and delivers food to Haiti. What have you done, Vox headline writer? And yet, he’s always getting pulled over by the woke police for something,” Maher told his audience before running down a list of attacks on Damon.

At this point, it’s hard to argue that anyone is better than Maher when it comes to liberals policing their own kind.

As I’ve said before, it’s not that Maher became more conservative. He’s not a right wing guy. It’s that his own side became so radical on things like cancel culture and wokeness that Maher now seems like he shifted to the right.

He didn’t abandon liberals. The far left abandoned him by promoting nonsense like cancel culture. This is just the latest example.

Does anyone honestly believe Matt Damon is a bad guy? Does anyone in their heart truly believe Matt Damon is malicious? The answer is no.

Matt Damon, who you might not agree with politically, is not the devil or anything close to it. He said he doesn’t believe a gay slur is acceptable after not feeling that way as a younger person, and somehow, he should now be thrown in prison. I thought the entire point of life was that you grow and learn?

Perhaps that only applies to people who totally walk the party line like this is North Korea.

If you really believe Matt Damon is a terrible person destroying the world because he’s not woke enough, then the problem is with you. Props to Maher for bluntly pointing that out.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
