Liberal comedian Bill Maher said during his show this week that President Joe Biden was making the Democratic Party “look bad” for not firing the head of the U.S. Secret Service after former President Donald Trump was shot during an assassination attempt last weekend.

Maher made the remarks during his HBO show “Real Time” on Friday while he was interviewing Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

“Should Joe Biden have fired the Secret Service head?” Maher asked. “I mean, I don’t understand that.”

Buttigieg gave a non-answer, saying that he worked in a different department and that there was “a really serious after-action report and process and a whole lot of scrutiny going on there,” adding that the incident was “under a microscope.”

Maher responded: “Well, you didn’t need a microscope to see it. The guy was on the roof, you know, like not that far away.”

“I’ve seen people fired for less, and it just looks bad,” Maher added. “It looks like, ‘Well, the other guy from the other party got shot. Well, we’ll look into it if we have time.’”

Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle remained defiant amid overwhelming calls that she resign after her agency failed to prevent the shooting from happening.

When asked during the ABC NEWS interview if she was planning to stay on, she responded: “I do plan to stay on.”

At least one person in the crowd was killed and two more were seriously injured after the 20-year-old would be assassin exploited holes in the security coverage at the event that allowed him to climb onto of a nearby roof and open fire on the president with a clear line of sight from only a little over a hundred yards away.

Former President Bill Clinton and twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reportedly are still standing behind President Joe Biden as members of the Democrat Party urge him to end his re-election campaign over fears that cannot win this fall.

NBC News reported that they have been privately “supportive of Biden’s decision to stay in the race and have been actively encouraging donors to stay with him.”

Those close to the Clintons said that they were “deferential” about his decision to not drop out, the report said.

They also have reportedly been in touch with the White House offering to help in any areas that Biden needs.

CNN reported one person close to the Clintons said that they were “deferential to Biden’s decision” while a different source said that they were “deferential to the process.”

The two have said that ultimately it does not matter what anyone says or thinks, that if Biden does not want to drop out that he will be the party’s nominee and will face Trump in November.

Large Democrat megadonors have started to pause donations to the party as they try to pressure Biden to quit by cutting off all the resources that he needs to compete.

“I don’t know how you campaign with a broadening electoral map without money. I don’t know what they’re doing. I don’t know,” a top Democrat donor told CNN. “I’ve never seen this strategy where you think you can win without money.”

The New York Times reported that Vice President Kamala Harris, who many Democrats want to be the candidate who replaces Biden as the nominee, had an emergency call with top donors on Friday, although its not clear if her intent was to calm them down or take things in a different direction to suit her own political interests.

Top Democrat donor Reid Hoffman encouraged other Democrat megadonors to join the call, saying that they find themselves in a “rapidly evolving environment.”

“With the stakes as high as they are this cycle, we have to remain focused on the critical work that needs to be done to protect our democracy,” he added. He said that the meeting would “discuss urgent, emerging needs”.
