Filmmaker Oliver Stone, who has interviewed Vladimir Putin several times between 2015-17, appeared on Bill Maher HBO interview show, very popular among liberals, on Friday night, Aug. 21. Stone tore into the U.S. intelligence community when Maher tried to confront Stone on intelligence reports on Russia interfering in the 2016 election. In the process he also nailed Maher for what he is.
“You can’t really think that a Russian President — the one that’s in there now — should be able to ratfuck our elections like this, can you?” Maher asked Stone.
Stone responded: “Oh Bill, I’ve known you too long, and I think you’re sophisticated enough to know that you have to question everything that comes out of our intelligence agencies. If you haven’t learned that by now, you have a long way to go still.”
