Bill Maher ridicules liberals’ 'Lake America' outrage with jab at left-wing language police

Bill Maher mocked liberals who are upset about President Trump renaming Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ amid a trade dispute with Canada. He suggested that liberals, who have a history of changing terminology for political reasons (like using ‘Latinx’ or ‘birthing person’), are hypocritical in their outrage. Critics like Curtis Houck and Tim Graham echoed Maher’s sentiment, arguing that the left’s own embrace of linguistic changes undermines their objections to Trump’s actions.
