"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show on Friday by marveling at how Herschel Walker can be supported by the Republican Party.  "Someone must explain Herschel Walker and how in a supposedly sophisticated country a person with his resume could ever be elected to office," Maher said. "For the past month, there's been a lot written about how Republicans standing behind a guy like Walker means they've lost all sense of integrity.

The HBO star called the Georgia Senate hopeful a "f------ idiot on a scale almost impossible to parody" and listed episodes from Walker's past, specifically claims of domestic abuse and secret children, as well as allegedly paying for his ex-girlfriend's abortion — which Walker denies — despite his pro-life stance. "He's very pro-family — just not his," Maher quipped.
