“Trump’s not perfect,” he said. “But let’s not pretend the other side is saintly.” That line got applause, even from those who didn’t expect to agree.
Maher asked a powerful question: “What if we’ve all been misled?” It lingered in the air as Schiff struggled to pivot away.
As the segment neared its end, Schiff looked visibly shaken. He hadn’t expected to be challenged this sharply on friendly turf.

The internet exploded. Conservatives praised Maher’s courage. Even moderates admitted it was a rare moment of honest media.
Clips were shared by influencers across all political aisles. It wasn’t about Trump or Schiff—it was about truth being reclaimed.
