That&#8217;s right. What a duo!<\/p>\n<p>Bill Maher and Sophie Cunningham. Two peas in a pod. Beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Maher came out in support of Cunningham on his &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/category\/entertainment\/genres\/political\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Time with Bill Maher<\/a>&#8221; HBO show Friday night, pointing out the absolute lunacy that has transpired since Cunningham dared to say girls deserve protection from biological men.<\/p>\n<p>How dare she!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She didn&#8217;t say she hated trans,&#8221; Maher said before reading Cunningham&#8217;s exact quote. &#8220;She said, &#8216;I am here to extend love, but I also think that love is truth and being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn&#8217;t have to go against biological men.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Again, this is where 80% of the country is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d argue that about 90 percent of the country is actually on the right side of this issue, but I get Bill&#8217;s point.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s right, obviously. The narrative has, predictably, shifted in the weeks since Cunningham&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/white-house-defends-wnba-star-sophie-cunningham-speaks-support-protecting-womens-sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">comments to ESPN<\/a> went viral. She never, ever said she didn&#8217;t like trans people.<\/p>\n<p>Quite the opposite, in fact!<\/p>\n<p>All she said was that she wanted to protect girls in locker rooms and in sports from biological men. That&#8217;s it! She literally said she wanted to protect little girls, and the left lost its mind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/cheryl-reeve-sends-clear-message-sophie-cunningham-trans-kids-belong-shirt-fever-lynx-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>CHERYL REEVE SENDS CLEAR MESSAGE TO SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM WITH \u2018TRANS KIDS BELONG\u2019 SHIRT DURING FEVER-LYNX GAME<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Think about how crazy that sounds.
