Pro-Trump heckler briefly disrupts 'Real Time with Bill Maher'

An audience member apparently angry over some panelists "trashing our great president" and "our great country" briefly interrupted Friday's edition of "Real Time with Bill Maher."

The disruption came during a panel discussion about the withdrawal of President Trump's nominee for director of national intelligence, Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas. Host Maher and guest Buck Sexton, a former CIA intelligence officer, were debating the politicization of past and present intel officials.

Suddenly, the audience member began shouting, drawing boos from Maher's largely liberal crowd.

"I do not know him, by the way," Sexton joked during the commotion.

"I see you brought a guest," Maher quipped.

The HBO star told the heckler, "I know you're going to make America great again, but ... yeah ... You've made your point. I don't know what it was, but you've made your point. I think your point was that you like Trump. And there are a lot of people who like Trump."
