Hillary Clinton committed obstruction of justice by destroying evidence related to her email scandal, HBO's Real Time host Bill Maher said on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.”

He added that President Donald Trump obstructed justice “in much worse fashion” but that the optics were bad of Clinton smashing up her phones.

“There's a lot of reasons why the Democrats lost and many of them were Hillary was a terrible candidate.”

Maher said he supports the Democratic Party, especially while Trump is president, but “I go after them because they need going after, they need some tough love and I'm not going to stop but yes, their stuff is raggedy too. They have some things they have to answer for and then they don't help themselves a lot and I think a lot of this far Left political correctness is a cancer on progressivism.”

Maher explained that “when you talk to Trump supporters, they're not blind to his myriad flaws but one thing they always say is he's not politically correct. I don't think you can underestimate - overestimate how much people have been choking on political correctness and hate it.”

He also said he did not have much faith in the news media to properly cover the elections, because “we don't live in the era of news division as loss leaders like we used to. The news division didn't have to make a profit. Then that changed and then you have to report to the board like everybody else and show your earnings and in that atmosphere they're always going to be looking for eyeballs. That’s going to be the most important thing is getting people to click, getting people to watch.”
